Seminar and Symposium on Partial Differential Equations:

   I am currently organizing the Analysis and PDE Seminar, which covers a wide range of topics in analysis and partial differential equations (PDE), jointly with Prof. Hantaek Bae (from UNIST, Korea) and Yong Yu (from CUHK, Hong Kong). Recently, I have also organized the Symposium on Partial Differential Equations (PDE) 2022 and Symposium on Partial Differential Equations (PDE) 2021, jointly with Anthony Suen (from EdUHK, Hong Kong).

   Please feel free to contact me if you would like to contribute a talk in our Analysis and PDE Seminar or coming symposium. I will be happy to make such an arrangement if possible.

Summer Research Opportunity for Students:

   For outstanding undergraduate students who are interested in working with me during the summer, please consider the Summer Research Fellowship (SRF) in the Faculty of Science, HKU, as well as the Summer Research Programme organized by the Graduate School, HKU.

Research Interests:

  Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Control Theory, and Optimization.

In particular, I am strongly interested in the following topics:

  Fluid Dynamics

  Integrable Systems

  Kinetic Theory

  Mathematical Biology

  Mathematical Economics/Finance

  Mean-field Type Control Problems, and

  Mean-field Games

Following are some published papers, as well as preprints. (The papers on arXiv are NOT their final versions.)
