معرفی
Jichun Li is a Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. His research focuses on mathematical modeling, scientific computing, and numerical analysis with applications to electromagnetism and metamaterials. He specializes in developing advanced numerical methods like Finite Element Methods (FEM), Discontinuous Galerkin (DG), and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) schemes for simulating wave propagation in complex media such as metamaterials and photonic crystals.
Key research areas include metamaterials (e.g., hyperbolic metamaterials, cloaking devices), electromagnetic wave manipulation (e.g., surface plasmon polaritons on graphene), and computational techniques for solving Maxwell’s equations in dispersive and nonlinear media. His work addresses challenges like numerical stability, superconvergence analysis, and implementation of Perfectly Matched Layers (PML) for absorbing boundary conditions.
Recent efforts involve integrating deep learning with numerical PDE methods for financial applications and advancing time-domain simulations for metamaterial cloaking and optical black holes. He has contributed to software tools like MATLAB-based edge element codes for metamaterial modeling. His research bridges theoretical analysis and practical simulation, with applications in photonics, quantum optics, and computational electromagnetics.
Notable achievements include over 150 peer-reviewed articles, methodological innovations in numerical electromagnetics, and active participation in interdisciplinary collaborations at the Center for Applied Math & Statistics. His work emphasizes high-order methods and rigorous mathematical validation for engineering and scientific problems.
