Weiqing Gu

Professor Weiqing Gu is a McAlister Professor of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College's Department of Mathematics. She is currently on leave until July 2026. Her research focuses on differential geometry and topology, with applications to Big Data analysis, computer-aided design, robotics, and mathematical biology. She explores geometric problems in manifolds, Lie Theory, Grassmann-Cayley algebra, and Riemannian geometry, with practical implications for anomaly detection, predictive modeling, computer animation, and robot motion planning. Her work also extends to industrial mathematics, including optimal control, encryption, and color scheme applications.

Professor Gu’s contributions bridge theoretical geometry and applied fields, addressing challenges in dynamics, control theory, and interdisciplinary collaborations. No specific scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
