"after doing sth." or "after to do sth." She attended university and completed her doctor's degree after she (stopping ) playing table tennis. I think "after doing something" and "after to do something" are both correct, but I don't understand why it says "stopping" in this sentence... Could you explain it to me...

"I think 'after doing something' and 'after to do something' are both correct"... no, they're not. This kind of thinking (ie. assuming) sabotages your progress. Just ask for advice. "She attended university and completed her doctor's degree after stopping playing table tennis." Correct, but awkward. Native speakers would not say or write this. "She attended university and completed her doctor's degree after she stopped playing table tennis." Correct and natural.

"after doing/stopping etc" = "after [subject] did/stopped etc e.g. After finishing / After I finished the book, I started cooking dinner. "after [subject] doing/shopping etc" is wrong. "after [subject] to do/to shop etc" is wrong.

It should be replaced with "stopped" instead. The "after" used here is a result of or because of something that has happened so it shouldn't be "stopping"
