Gui-Qiang George Chen (Chinese: 陈贵强, Pinyin: Chen Gui Qiang; born 25 May 1963) is a Chinese-born American-British mathematician. Currently, he is Statutory Professor in the Analysis of Partial Differential Equations,[2] Director of the Oxford Centre for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations,[3] and Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Partial Differential Equations at the Mathematical Institute,[4] and Professorial Fellow at Keble College, located at the University of Oxford, as well as Life Member of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge.

Biography

Born in 1963 in Cixi City, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, he obtained his B.Sc. in 1982 at Fudan University (Shanghai) and received his Ph.D. in 1987 at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing), then moved to the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (1987–89) . He also received M.A. in 2011 from the University of Oxford (by resolution) and became a British citizen by naturalisation in 2016.

Research

His main research areas lie in nonlinear partial differential equations, nonlinear analysis, and their applications to mechanics, geometry, other areas of mathematics and science. His recent research interests include nonlinear conservation laws, nonlinear waves, nonlinear equations of mixed type, free boundary problems, geometric problems, and stochastic partial differential equations. His research interests also include measure-theoretical analysis, weak convergence methods, statistical physics, and numerical analysis. He has published more than 200 original research papers [5] and more than 10 research books.[6] Since 2000, he has delivered more than 250 invited lectures around the world.

Academic career

He is currently Statutory Professor in the Analysis of Partial Differential Equations at the Mathematical Institute and Professorial Fellow of Keble College, University of Oxford[2]. Before these, he was Full Professor of Mathematics at Northwestern University 1996–2009 and Associate Professor of Mathematics there 1994–96, and Assistant Professor and Adjunct Professor of Mathematics at the University of Chicago 1989–96. He is also an Adjunct Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Northwestern University (USA), a Distinguished Advisory Professor of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and a Changjiang Distinguished Professor of Fudan University and the Ministry of Education of China.

Activities

He now serves on the Major Awards Committee of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2017-19) and International Scientific Board, RUDN University, Moscow, Russia (2018–Present). He was a member of the Royal Society Newton International Fellowship Board (2013-18), Co-Chair of the Theme Programme on Free Boundary Problems and Related Topics, Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (2014);[7] Chair (2009-10) and Program Director (2005-06) of Activity Group on Analysis of Partial Differential Equations, Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, USA; Chair of the Organizing Committee, SIAM Conference on Analysis of Partial Differential Equations (2006); a Member of the AMS-MAA Program Committee for the Joint Annual National Meetings (2008), American Mathematical Society Scientific Committee for the Joint International Meeting with Shanghai Mathematical Society (2008), AMS Program Committee for the Annual Meeting (2009), and Committee for National Meetings of American Mathematical Society (2007-10); Panellist of National Science Foundation (USA), Austrian Science Fund, and Research Council of Norway. He has been a Chair, or an Organizer/Co-organizer, or a Member of the Scientific Committees, of more than 150 International Conferences, Workshops, Symposia, Summer Schools, and Emphasis Years in more than 15 countries. He has been Editor-in-Chief and a member of Editorial Boards for more than 10 leading international scientific journals.
