Princeton University

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Math graduate student at Princeton University.

Mostly taught Algebra and Number Theory topics; see https://web.math.princeton.edu/~vywang/#informal for lecture notes.

Math Olympiad Summer Program

Instructor

Worked on project in computational topology and structural graph theory (graph embedding algorithms on surfaces, inspired by the Hanani-Tutte theorems and Z/2-equivariant non-Abelian obstruction theory), supervised by Profs. Francis Lazarus and Arnaud de Mesmay.

GIPSA-lab

Summer Research Intern

Graded weekly problem sets with feedback, both for correctness and writing style, under Prof. Bjorn Poonen. Tried to include alternative instructive solutions or relevant references in feedback when possible.

Grader - MIT Freshman Problem-Solving Seminar (18.A34)

Worked on a Ramsey-type combinatorics/geometry project (https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.04153) with Jonathan Tidor and Ben Yang (mentor), under Profs. David Jerison and Ankur Moitra.

MIT SPUR (Summer Program in Undergraduate Research)

Worked on two individual projects: simultaneous core partitions (combinatorics, http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.04290) and Hilbert 2-class field towers (number theory, http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06552), under Prof. Joe Gallian.

Grader

Since January 2014 or so, I've enjoyed collaborating (as a math consultant) with many great teammates on Expii, an online education project seeking to break down topics while providing fun, relatable content and a curated problem stream (organized and scaffolded through concept maps in the background). See https://web.math.princeton.edu/~vywang/#misc for details and links.

Expii, Inc.

Math Specialist

Taught and organized problem sets for 3 hour classes of 15 students each Saturday afternoon. Closely interacted with students to develop their problem-solving skills.
