I'm a mathematician (math genealogy). I'm currently focusing on improving my Chinese to the point where I can conduct research in Chinese. My Chinese name is 李蓓 (Lǐ Bèi). I'm a "meh" chess player (FIDE rating).

My webpage is here. I'm in China and it's blocked (so I don't update it regularly), along with Google, Imgur, etc.
