Hello 👋~ I am Hanyi [pronounced as Han-Yee]
I am a senior research fellow at University College London working on dementia research. My current research project is on the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
I am a mathematician and a pianist by training. I started playing the piano from the age of three, and I studied mathematics as my major at university and earned my PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 2015.
I am a life explorer with positive attitude and curiosity. I embrace challenges, pursue a culture of creative and independent thinking. My in-depth mathematical training gained at university has allowed me to further explore many other fields and to contribute to those that requires knowledge and tools from measure theory, stochastic processes, probability and statistics, game theory and optimisation. After developing novel models in queueing theory during my PhD research, and gaining extensive experience as a quantitative researcher in the financial industry, I arrived at my current research field of dementia.
