Changying Ding

I am a Lecturer in Mathematics at UCLA, where I was a Hedrick Math Fellow from 2023 to 2026, working with Sorin Popa and Dimitri Shlyakhtenko. I received my Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in 2023 under Jesse Peterson.

My CV is available here, and my research is supported in part by NSF grant DMS-2554483.
