ABOUT ME
My name is Anna, Ying Pun . I am from Hong Kong. I got both my Bachelor and MPhil degree in Mathematics from the University of Hong Kong. I got my Ph.D. from University of Pennsylvania in 2016. I was a postdoctoral researcher at Drexel University and at IML (spring 2020), and a Whyburn Research Associate and Lecturer in UVA. I am now an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in Baruch College.
​
I love animals especially dogs (you must have noticed when you visit my webpage here!). During my spare time, I like doing jigsaw puzzles, listening to music and drawing.
EDUCATION
RESEARCH INTEREST
Algebraic Combinatorics
​
I started learning Algebraic Combinatorics during my PhD study in UPenn, and I chose it as my research field. My thesis is related to symmetric and nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials, Demazure atoms and characters and tableaux combinatorics. I recently started to study more on crystals, posets, Stanley symmetric polynomials and parking functions. Also I am currently doing research on Catalan functions and k-Schur functions. There are a lot to learn and I am very interested in this area. I am open to any collaboration :)
