Hello! 你好! Здраво!

My name is Kyle Gannon. I am a model theorist at the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research (BICMR) at Peking University. I received my PhD under Sergei Starchenko at the University of Notre Dame in 2020. I was a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor (a fancy term for a post-doc) under the direction of Artem Chernikov at UCLA from 2020-2023. I am now an assistant professor at BICMR.

This is a photo of me. Here are some links:

Shanghai: Will Johnson (Fudan University), Yao Ningyuan (Fudan University).

Reci mi ako znaš ljude koji zive u Pekingu i govore srpski/hrvatski jezik! Ova slika je na Kosmaju, blizu Beograda.
