LIU (刘: liú, last name) Zhizhou (之洲: zhī-zhōu, first name) ( CV ) is a student studying probability theory. His current research focuses on percolation models with long-range correlation, particularly the vacant set of Random Interlacements1 and the level-set percolation of the Gaussian free field.

He received his undergraduate degree from the Department of Mathematics at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) (南方科技大学). He then obtained a Master of Science in Statistics from the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). Currently, he is pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under the supervision of Professor Maximilian Nitzschner.

  1. Random Interlacements model is introduced by A.-S. Sznitman in 2007 in the paper “Vacant set of random interlacements and percolation.” Annals of mathematics (2010): 2039-2087. It can be regarded as a mathematical model of random fabric. In this sense, the vacant sets can be thought of as pockets formed within the woven structure. ↩︎
