Welcome! My name is Ying Wang 王滢. As of Fall 2026 I am a sixth year math PhD student at the University of Michigan, and I am on the academic job market. I like non-archimedean geometry, algebraic geometry, and complex geometry. I am particularly interested in the existence of canonical metrics on Calabi--Yau varieties.
My advisor is Mattias Jonsson.
You can reach me at ywangx [at] umich [dot] edu.
Teaching
