We would like to extend a warm welcome to Professor Hu Xianpeng joining AMA family on 17 August 2023.
Professor Hu obtained a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Sun Yat-sen University in 2006 and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh in 2010. Prior to joining the AMA, Professor Hu served as an Assistant Professor (2014-2020) and later as an Associate Professor (2020-2023) in the Department of Mathematics at City University of Hong Kong.
Professor Hu's primary research interest lies in Partial Differential Equations. He has made substantial contributions to the perturbation theory for compressible viscoelastic fluid flows in multi-dimensional spaces, and essential contributions to the concentration and existence of weak solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with low adiabatic constants in multi-dimensional spaces.
In recognition of his accomplishments, Professor Hu was honoured with the Hong Kong Mathematics Society Award for Young Scholars in 2017. Furthermore, he was awarded the prestigious RGC Research Fellowship in 2021/22.
