معرفی
Jonathan Julian Zhu is an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington's Department of Mathematics. He previously held an NSF Postdoc at Princeton University and completed his PhD at Harvard University under Professors Bill Minicozzi and Shing-Tung Yau. His research focuses on Differential Geometry and Geometric Analysis, particularly minimal surfaces, mean curvature flow, and related singularity phenomena. He organizes the UW Differential Geometry/PDE Seminar and has been involved in various academic leadership roles including the SMRI-Matrix Symposium and Princeton's Geometric Analysis seminar.
Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics (Harvard University), Postdoctoral research at Princeton University. Research interests include geometric flows, minimal submanifolds, self-shrinkers, Ricci solitons, and applications of min-max theory. His work bridges theoretical insights with geometric PDEs, addressing questions about rigidity, entropy, and stability in curved spaces.
Teaching includes courses at UW (Math 336, 583), Princeton (MAT175, MAT203), and Harvard (Math21a, Math1b). His publications address foundational problems in geometric analysis, such as quantifications of symplectic non-squeezing, uniqueness of blowups in mean curvature flow, and rigidity properties of self-shrinkers.
Professional activities include seminar organization, grant participation, and collaborations on geometric analysis projects. His work contributes to advancing understanding of geometric structures and their evolution under curvature-driven flows.
