معرفی
Tuoc Phan is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota (2007) and has held postdoctoral positions at the University of British Columbia (2007–2010) and the University of Tennessee (2010–2012). His research focuses on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), including existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions, nonlinear dynamics, and optimal control in mathematical biology.
Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics (University of Minnesota, 2007), B.S. in Mathematics (University of Science, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, 2000).
Research interests span PDE theory, with emphasis on elliptic, parabolic, and Navier-Stokes equations, singular/degenerate coefficients, and applications to fluid dynamics. He has published extensively in top journals like Journal of Functional Analysis and Transactions of the American Mathematical Society.
Grants include a $35,000 Simons Foundation grant (2015–2022) and NSF funding for conferences. He supervises graduate and undergraduate students, including Timothy Robertson (Ph.D. 2022) and Van Le (current Ph.D. student). He is an Associate Editor for Evolution Equations and Control Theory and serves on editorial boards.
Key contributions include work on Harnack inequalities for degenerate PDEs, Sobolev estimates, and boundary layer problems. He organizes conferences like CAAM and the UTK-PDE Lecture Series, fostering collaboration in PDE research.
