Zhipeng Duan
I am a Lecturer in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Nanjing Normal University.
I obtained my Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Copenhagen in 2020 under the supervision of
Jesper Møller. My Curriculum Vitae is available here (last updated March 2026).
My research interests lie in homotopy theory and combinatorial topology,
especially in applying methods from equivariant homotopy theory to problems
in chromatic homotopy theory.
