Guanying Peng

Guanying Peng is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). They hold a BS in Mathematics from Peking University (2007) and a PhD in Mathematics from Purdue University (2014), supervised by Prof. Patricia Bauman.

Research Interests:

• Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
• Calculus of Variations
• Applications to Materials Science and Continuum Mechanics
• Study of singularity structures in liquid crystals, thin films, and superconductors

Publications Trend: Their work focuses on mathematical analysis of complex systems in materials science, emphasizing nonlinear PDEs and calculus of variations to develop tools for interdisciplinary problems.
