معرفی
Shih-Kai Chiu is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), mentored by Xiangwen Zhang since Winter 2025. He holds a PhD from the University of Notre Dame (2021), advised by Gábor Székelyhidi. Previously, he was a Postdoc at the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath) under Mark Haskins and a Postdoc at the University of Oxford under Jason D. Lotay. His research focuses on geometric analysis, complex differential geometry, and special holonomy, particularly Calabi-Yau manifolds and special Lagrangian submanifolds.
Education:
- PhD in Mathematics, University of Notre Dame (2021)
Research Interests: Explores geometric structures with special holonomy, including Calabi-Yau manifolds and their applications to mirror symmetry. Investigates calibrated submanifolds, Kähler-Einstein metrics, and the behavior of harmonic functions on noncompact spaces. His work bridges geometric analysis, partial differential equations, and algebraic geometry.
Teaching: Teaches courses such as Math 299C (Dirac Operators), Math 3A (Linear Algebra), and Math 2E (Multivariable Calculus). Previously taught at Vanderbilt University and Notre Dame, focusing on calculus and linear algebra.
Invited Talks & Conferences: Presented at venues including AIM Workshops (2024-2025), TIMS (2024), and the University of Oxford seminars. Engages in collaborative research through co-organizing seminars like Geometry and TACoS Oxford (2021–2023).
