Short Bio
I am a PhD student at Max Planck Institute for Informatics, advised by Danupon Nanongkai and Sagnik Mukhopadhyay. Before that, I got my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science at Nanjing University.
My research interest is theoretical computer science in general. My current research focus is on developing efficient graph algorithms in various computation models.
Education
(2021.10 - 2023.3) Preparatory Phase for doctoral study.
Thanks to Yitong Yin and Chaodong Zheng for supervising my undergraduate research, and to Binkai Lin for supervising my undergraduate thesis.
I spent some wonderful years at the theory group, doing research and having fun with my peers and seniors. Thanks to all of them.
(2020.1 - 2020.5) Exchange student at University of California, Berkeley.

Misc.
The URL name “jyg94” is a combination of my name pronounced in Chinese (Jiang Yong Gang) and the number 94 (which has the same pronunciation as the phrase “It is” in Chinese, it doesn’t mean I was born in 1994). I got this idea from Weiming Feng’s website (although later I realized that he was actually born in 1994).
