"On the regularity of Lagrangian phase equation"
In this talk, I will first introduce the background and motivation for the study of Lagrangian phase equation. I will then discuss my recent work on the regularity of Lagrangian phase equation. In the second part, I will discuss some open problems relating to Lagrangian phase equation.

"On bodies floating in equilibrium in every orientation"
We give a negative answer to Ulam's Problem 19 from the Scottish Book asking is a solid of uniform density which will float in water in every position a sphere? Assuming that the density of water is 1, we show that there exists a strictly convex body of revolution K\subset {\mathbb R^3} of uniform density \frac{1}{2}, which is not a Euclidean ball, yet floats in equilibrium in every orientation.

"Quantum error correction and operator algebras"
Quantum error correction is a central topic in quantum information science. Its origins as an independent field of study go back more than a quarter century, and it now arises in almost every part of the subject, including in recent years as a key area of focus in the development of new quantum technologies.
