LI Zhan

LI Zhan serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics under the Faculty of Science at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) since 2024, following a tenure-track appointment as Assistant Professor from 2018-2024. His academic career includes prior positions as Assistant Professor at the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research (2015-2018) and Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University (2014-2015).

Education:

• Ph.D. in Mathematics, Rutgers University-New Brunswick (2009-2014)
• B.S. in Mathematics, Tianjin University (2005-2009)

Specializing in Algebraic Geometry with focused expertise in Birational Geometry, his research explores fundamental structural properties of algebraic varieties through birational transformations. This field intersects with complex geometry, singularity theory, and classification problems in higher-dimensional spaces, contributing to theoretical frameworks in modern mathematics.

No scientific awards or student advisement records are publicly documented in available institutional materials. His academic trajectory demonstrates a consistent research focus within pure mathematics, transitioning from postdoctoral training to independent faculty positions at leading mathematical research centers in China and the United States.
