テツ・オウ Zhe Wang

I received my doctoral degree from Tsinghua University in 2023. After that, I spent two years at Kyoto University as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2025, I joined iTHEMS.

My main research interest lies in exploring various aspects of mathematical physics using tools from integrable systems. In particular, I apply techniques from (infinite-dimensional) Hamiltonian integrable systems to study Gromov-Witten type theories, mirror symmetry, and related topics. A typical problem in this area involves constructing integrable systems that govern the partition functions of specific theories—such as cohomological field theory, equivariant quantum cohomology, quantum K-theory, or symplectic field theory—and analyzing their structure through the integrable systems.

More recently, I've become increasingly interested in the connections between integrable hierarchies and quantum algebras, such as vertex algebras and W-algebras. While the classical relationships between these fields have been well studied, understanding their quantum counterparts remains a rich and challenging direction. I believe that further progress in this area will deepen our overall understanding of integrable systems, which play a central role in mathematical physics.

If you’re interested in my work or would like to discuss related topics, I’d be very happy to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out!
