About Me

My name is 张文泽 (Wenze Zhang) and I go by Sylvester. I publish under Sylvester W. Zhang.

I am a fifth year Ph.D student in Mathematics at the University of Minnesota, working on algebraic combinatorics under the guidance of Pasha Pylyavskyy. Previously, I received my bachelor's degrees also at the University of Minnesota (Go Gophers!). My CV is here.

Research

My research is in the area of algebraic combinatorics, often among the intersection of total positivity, geometry of the flag variety, and representation theory of linear groups. Specifically, I am interested in

I am a mentor at PACE –– PKU Algebraic Combinatorics Experience, and REU program at Peking University. Below is a list of projects I mentored.

[To be added.]

Twin Cities REU

I was a graduate TA in the in the UMN Algebra and Combinatorics REU (see this newsletter) 2021 and 2022, where I helped with three projects: I was fortunate to participate in the Twin Cities REU in 2019, where I worked on projects in covering graphs with Sunita Chepuri, lattice models with Ben Brubaker, and dynamical combinatorics with Sam Hopkins.
