Sijue Wu

Sijue Wu is the Robert W. and Lynn H. Browne Professor in Science in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan. She holds a PhD from Yale University (1990) and specializes in nonlinear partial differential equations, particularly those arising in fluid dynamics such as the Euler equations and water wave problems. Her research focuses on understanding singularities in surface waves.

Education:

• Ph.D., Yale University (1990)

Research Interests: Dr. Wu’s work bridges harmonic analysis and nonlinear PDEs. She investigates fluid dynamics phenomena, including vortex sheets, water waves, and the mathematical analysis of their singularities. Her contributions address foundational questions in both theoretical and applied mathematics.

Teaching: She taught Math 656: Introduction to Partial Differential Equations in Fall 2021, focusing on topics like Green functions and advanced PDE techniques.

Advising: Her former PhD students include Yuxin Wang, Qingtang Su, Siddhant Agrawal, Jennifer Beichman, Rafe Kinsey, and Nathan Totz, many of whom now hold academic or industry roles.

Labs/Teams: While no specific lab is mentioned, her research aligns with broader efforts in applied mathematics and fluid dynamics at the University of Michigan.
