معرفی
Hailun Zheng is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. He joined the university in 2024 and holds a Ph.D. from the University of Washington (2017). His research focuses on geometric combinatorics, with an emphasis on the study of polytopes, simplicial complexes, and their topological and combinatorial properties. Key areas include neighborly polytopes, reconstruction problems, transversal numbers, and centrally symmetric structures.
His work bridges combinatorics, geometry, and topology, addressing questions about polytope rigidity, flag triangulations, and lower/upper bound theorems. Recent contributions include advancements in reconstructing simplicial polytopes from graphs and analyzing stresses in geometric structures.
Publications span topics like neighborly spheres, affine stresses, and symmetric complexes, reflecting a deep engagement with discrete and algebraic geometry. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts.
Dr. Zheng collaborates within the Mathematics Department and contributes to the university’s research in algebra, geometry, and topology. His office is located at PSB 305.
