Wern Yeong

Wern Yeong is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), collaborating with Joaquín Moraga. He earned his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Notre Dame in May 2023 under Eric Riedl's supervision. His research focuses on algebraic geometry, particularly hyperbolicity properties linked to the Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture, measures of irrationality, and curves on hypersurfaces. Yeong has published six peer-reviewed articles in collaboration with prominent researchers like Joaquín Moraga, Kenneth Ascher, and Amos Turchet.

Education:

• PhD in Mathematics, University of Notre Dame, 2023

Research Interests: Specializes in advanced algebraic geometry topics including adjoint bundles, Fano varieties, log Calabi-Yau pairs, and geometric conjectures. His work bridges theoretical frameworks like the Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture with empirical analysis of hypersurfaces and projective spaces.

Teaching:

• UCLA: Taught Math 110A (Algebra), Math 115A (Linear Algebra), and multiple sections of Math 32B (Calculus of Several Variables) from 2023-2024.
• University of Notre Dame: Taught Calculus and Linear Algebra courses from 2019-2023 as a Teaching Assistant.

Collaborations & Grants: Actively collaborates with international researchers in algebraic geometry. No specific grants mentioned in text.
