LIU Zhihui

LIU Zhihui is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), holding a concurrent Researcher position. Appointed as Associate Professor since June 2022 after serving as Assistant Professor from 2020-2022, his academic trajectory includes prior roles as Research Assistant Professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (2018-2020) and Postdoctoral Fellow at Hong Kong Polytechnic University (2017-2018).

His research focuses on stochastic analysis and computation, specializing in numerical methods for stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). Key areas include stochastic phase field models, ergodicity of stochastic systems, and numerical approximation of equations driven by fractional/white noise. His work demonstrates strong theoretical foundations combined with computational implementation.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2016-2022) reveals consistent focus on convergence rates, regularity theory, and structure-preserving numerical schemes for SPDEs. The research spans monotone systems, Allen-Cahn equations, Schrödinger equations with stochastic dispersion, and fractional noise models, with predominant application in mathematical physics and computational mathematics.

He currently leads two active National Natural Science Foundation of China projects: the Excellent Young Scientists Fund Program (Overseas) on numerical analysis of SPDEs and a Young Program grant on numerical ergodicity of stochastic Allen-Cahn equations. Previously, he managed multiple Hong Kong RGC grants on stochastic phase field models before transferring them upon departure.

His academic training includes a PhD from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Academy of Mathematics and Systems Sciences (2012-2017) and a BSc in Mathematics and Statistics from Hubei University (2008-2012). No student advisement information is publicly available.
