معرفی
Ling Zhou is a Phillip Griffiths Assistant Research Professor of Mathematics at Duke University's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from The Ohio State University (2023), where he was advised by Prof. Facundo Mémoli. His research focuses on applied topology, computational geometry, and topological data analysis, with particular emphasis on persistent homotopy groups, metric space analysis, and stability of filtered chain complexes.
Current roles include teaching courses such as Multivariable Calculus (MATH 212) and Probability (MATH 230) at Duke. A recipient of a 2024-2026 grant from the American Mathematical Society for research on persistent invariants, Zhou has collaborated with institutions including Brown University's ICERM and Schloss Dagstuhl (Germany). His professional activities span over 20 conferences since 2020, including upcoming engagements at the Banff International Research Station (2025) and the Mathematical Congress of the Americas (2025).
Research highlights include advancing persistent homology techniques, developing ephemeral persistence features, and exploring topological structures in metric spaces. His work bridges pure mathematics with computational applications, addressing challenges in data analysis and geometric modeling.
