Shih-Hsien Yu is a mathematician at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He is known for his work on hyperbolic conservation laws and kinetic equations.
Yu attended Taichung first senior high School. He did his undergraduate studies and master courses at National Taiwan University, followed by graduate studies at Stanford University, working under Tai-Ping Liu and obtaining his PhD in 1994. He was subsequently a postdoc fellow at University of Minnesota (1994–1995), faculty member at University of California, Los Angeles (1995–1999), Osaka University (1999–2000), City University of Hong Kong (2000–2007), before moving to the National University of Singapore in 2007.
With Tai-Ping Liu, Yu has solved several basic problems in conservation laws and kinetic equations such as the existence of discrete shock wave for Lax-Friedrichs scheme, and the positive-valued function property of the Boltzmann shock profile, pointwise structure of the Green’s functions for linearized Boltzmann equation, and invariant manifolds for stationary Boltzmann flows.
Yu was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians(ICM) in 2014 (Partial Differential Equations section). [1]
Sir Simon Kirwan Donaldson is an English mathematician known for his work on the topology of smooth (differentiable) four-dimensional manifolds, Donaldson–Thomas theory, and his contributions to Kähler geometry. He is currently a permanent member of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University in New York, and a Professor in Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London.

James Gilbert Glimm is an American mathematician, former president of the American Mathematical Society, and distinguished professor at Stony Brook University. He has made many contributions in the areas of pure and applied mathematics.
Tomasz Mrowka is an American mathematician specializing in differential geometry and gauge theory. He is the Singer Professor of Mathematics and former head of the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In applied mathematics, Arnold diffusion is the phenomenon of instability of integrable Hamiltonian systems. The phenomenon is named after Vladimir Arnold who was the first to publish a result in the field in 1964. More precisely, Arnold diffusion refers to results asserting the existence of solutions to nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems that exhibit a significant change in the action variables.
Maciej Zworski is a Polish, Canadian mathematician, currently a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. His mathematical interests include microlocal analysis, scattering theory, and partial differential equations.
Claudio Procesi is an Italian mathematician, known for works in algebra and representation theory.
Simon Brendle is a German mathematician working in differential geometry and nonlinear partial differential equations. He received his Dr. rer. nat. from Tübingen University under the supervision of Gerhard Huisken (2001). He was a professor at Stanford University (2005–2016), and is currently a professor at Columbia University. He has held visiting positions at MIT, ETH Zürich, Princeton University, and Cambridge University.
In differential geometry, algebraic geometry, and gauge theory, the Kobayashi–Hitchin correspondence relates stable vector bundles over a complex manifold to Einstein–Hermitian vector bundles. The correspondence is named after Shoshichi Kobayashi and Nigel Hitchin, who independently conjectured in the 1980s that the moduli spaces of stable vector bundles and Einstein–Hermitian vector bundles over a complex manifold were essentially the same.
Bernd Siebert is a German mathematician who researches in algebraic geometry.
Philip Thaxton Gressman is an American mathematician at The University of Pennsylvania, working primarily in the field of harmonic analysis.
Mihnea Popa is a Romanian-American mathematician at Harvard University, specializing in algebraic geometry. He is known for his work on complex birational geometry, Hodge theory, abelian varieties, and vector bundles.
