Associate Professor Jiakun Liu (FAustMS) is affiliated with the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sydney. He holds a BSc from Zhejiang University (2006) and a PhD from the Australian National University (2010). Following a Simons Postdoctoral Fellowship at Princeton (2010-2013), he served as Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, and Associate Professor at the University of Wollongong (2013-2024), securing an ARC DECRA in 2014 and an ARC Future Fellowship in 2024.

• Specializes in nonlinear elliptic/parabolic PDEs with applications in geometry and optimal transportation
• Research focuses on Monge-Ampère/Hessian equations, regularity theory, and geometric flows
• Contributions to convex geometry, minimal surfaces, and stochastic PDEs.

His 2024-2023 publications in Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Advanced Nonlinear Studies, and Archive for Rational Mechanics demonstrate expertise in free boundary regularity, noncompact Minkowski problems, and global geometric analysis. Recognized with ARC Future Fellowship and conferences organized across Australia-China collaborations.
