About me

Currently a beginning Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Hobbies: Naruto/Boruto, Detective Conan, NBA, Yu-Gi-Oh! (a trading card game, I am a semi-professional Yu-Gi-Oh! player by the way), etc. Email: fcao@umass.edu. I am glad to discuss mathematics and potential research collaboration possibilities with you via email. I am interested in partial differential equations, stochastic processes, interacting particle systems, and theoretical machine learning. My Ph.D advisor is Sebastien Motsch. My CV can be found at here
