Hello! 你好! Zdravo!
My name is Kyle Gannon. 我的中文名字是甘楠. I am a model theorist at the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research (BICMR) at Peking University. 我在北京国际数学研究中心工作. 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.
