Professor Lian’s research is at the interface between Mathematics and Physics, and has been interested in questions about the geometry of a class of spaces known as Calabi-Yau manifolds. His research interests also include representation theory and string theory. Professor Lian was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Research Fellowship in 2003 http://www.gf.org/fellows/all-fellows, and he received a Chern Prize at the 2013 International Congress of Chinese Mathematician in Taipei, ”for exceptional contributions to mathematical research or to public service activities in support of mathematics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Chern_Prize_(ICCM), http://iccm.tims.ntu.edu.tw/#@MorningsideAwards In 2015, he joined eight renowned mathematicians to received a Simons Collaboration Grant on Homological Mirror Symmetry, https://schms.math.berkeley.edu/. In 2014, along with Professor Shing-Tung Yau, Lian cofounded the Tsinghua Mathcamp and has served as its external organizer since its founding. Professor Lian will be teaching Linear Algebra I and II at this Mathcamp.

  • Chenglong Yu 余成龙 University of Pennsylvania

    Chenglong Yu 余成龙 is a Hans Rademacher Instructor of Mathematics at University of Pennsylvania. He received his PhD in Mathematics from Harvard University last year.

Dr. Yu has participated in Mathcamp as a Coach, Head Coach, and Lecturer in past years. He will be teaching Algebraic Combinatorics II this summer at Mathcamp.

  • David Rohrlich Boston University

    Professor Rohrlich earned his PhD at Yale in 1976 under the supervision of Serge Lang, and subsequently he did postdoctoral work at Harvard. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at Boston University. His research area is number theory, and for many years he worked on problems related to L-functions of elliptic curves. However for the past six years his primary focus has been the arithmetic statistics of Artin representations.

  • Nikolay Moshchevitin Moscow Lomonosov State University

    Professor Nikolay Moshchevitin received his Ph.D. in 1994 from Moscow State University in Russia. In 2003 he got Doctor of Science degree. Now he works in Moscow (Russia) and has many contacts all over the world. Since 2011 he is one of the managing editors of the Moscow Journal of Combinatorics and Number Theory. He works mostly in Diophantine Approximation, Geometry of Numbers and related topics. Among his students there are such known mathematicians as Andrew Raigorodskii, Oleg German and Ilya Shkredov. He solved several well-known problems, in particular he solved Wolfgang Schmidt's problems on the behavior of successive minima of a one-parameter family of lattices and constructed a counter-example to another Schmidt's problem related to approximation with positive integers. He will be teaching an introductory course in Diophantine Approximation.
