Hello! I am Yuchen. You have reached my personal website.

I am a programmer, mathematician and free software advocate.

I did a PhD in Mathematics and Statistics at the [[https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/masdoc][MASDOC program at
Warwick]], and spent some years in postdoc positions at [[http://cmsa.fas.harvard.edu][CMSA at Harvard]]
and the [[https://www.math.kth.se/RMSMA/][KTH RMSMA group]]. My research was on probability and algebraic
combinatorics.

Since leaving academia I have been mainly working as a computer
programmer. In my personal capacity I enjoy writing Emacs packages,
and you can find many of them on [[https://g.ypei.me/][my cgit instance]].

As a free software advocate, I am an associate member and licensing
volunteer of the [[https://fsf.org][Free Software Foundation]], and a maintainer of [[https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/][GNU
LibreJS]] and [[https://h-node.org][h-node.org]]. In my past academic life I also applied the
philosophy of free software to knowledge and research. For example I
shared my research in Robinson-Schensted algorithms as a [[https://toywiki.xyz][wiki]] under a
free Creative Commons license. I believe anyone can be an academic,
seeking truth and sharing their findings with the public.

I can be reached at: xU)U1M2fEQL6bfYGpwSG (PGP key: [[/assets/ypei-pubkey.txt][47F9 D050 1E11
8879 9040 4941 2126 7E93 EF86 DFD0]]). Feel free to email me, whether
you know me or not. I am also [[file:./teatime.org][open to meeting up virtually over tea]].
