Jian Ding's Home Page Department of Mathematics at Stanford . My office is 382K at Sloan Hall (Building 380).UC Berkeley ,
under the supervision of Prof. Yuval Peres .
In summer 2011, I was a temporary postdoc at U. Washington working with Prof. James Lee .
In summer 2010, I was an intern at MSR New England mentored by
Dr. Jennifer Chayes . Before coming to Berkeley, I earned my B.S. at School of Mathematical Sciences , Peking University .
