Many of the equations and syntax I used in my PhD work can't be written in Typst. For instance, Young Tableaus, or commutation diagrams. Or circuits generated from inline code. I am not even sure if it has been coded in a way to support such extensions.

So I would not recommend a new PhD student (actually undergrad student) to learn Typst just yet.

Could you give some examples of these equations?

The ecosystem for the kind of things you mention is expanding rapidly, have a look at these:

https://typst.app/universe/package/fletcher

https://typst.app/universe/package/quill

https://github.com/fenjalien/cirCeTZ

These are based on CeTZ: https://github.com/johannes-wolf/cetz , a kind of TikZ for typst. I don't see anything for Young Tableaux but it should be easy to do based on that.
