Gaoyong Zhang

Gaoyong Zhang is a Professor of Mathematics at New York University (since 2014), previously holding positions at Polytechnic University (Professor, 2000–2013) and the University of Pennsylvania (Assistant Professor, 1997–2000). He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Temple University (1995) and a B.S. in Mathematics from Wuhan University of Science and Technology (China, 1982). His research focuses on Convex Geometry, Geometric Analysis, and Integral Geometry, with contributions to Minkowski problems, Brunn-Minkowski theory, and affine isoperimetric inequalities. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

His work bridges geometric analysis, convex geometry, and functional analysis, addressing fundamental questions in affine geometry, geometric inequalities, and integral geometry. Notable contributions include solving the Busemann-Petty problem in four dimensions and advancing L_p Brunn-Minkowski theory. His publications span leading journals like Acta Mathematica, Journal of Differential Geometry, and Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics.
