About

Hi, I’m Zhong Zhang, a fourth year math PhD Student at the University of Chicago, working with Benson Farb. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

I am broadly interested in topology and geometry. I often think about algebraic varieties through a topological lens. Lately, my work has focused on mapping class groups, moduli spaces of curves, and monodromy.

Outside of math, I enjoy cooking, rock climbing, and playing table tennis.
