معرفی
Yan Guo is the L. Herbert Ballou University Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. He holds a B.S. from Peking University (1987) and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Brown University (1993). His research focuses on partial differential equations (PDEs) in kinetic theory, plasma physics, and stellar dynamics, emphasizing nonlinear stability and instability phenomena. He has held roles including Courant Instructor, Manning Assistant Professor, and has been continuously affiliated with Brown since 1995.
Education: B.S., Peking University (1987); Ph.D., Brown University (1993).
Research interests include rigorous mathematical analysis of PDEs arising in kinetic theory (Boltzmann/Vlasov equations), fluid dynamics (Euler/Navier-Stokes), and stability of galactic models. Notable contributions include nonlinear stability of Maxwellian states, instability of plasma equilibria, and mathematical frameworks for galaxy dynamics.
His publications address foundational problems in kinetic theory and fluid dynamics, with recent work on the Euler-Maxwell system and Boltzmann equation regularity. Awards include the Sloan Research Fellowship (1998-2003) and NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship (1995-1998).
Guo serves as Managing Editor of the Journal of Partial Differential Equations and Associate Editor for multiple journals, including SIAM Journal of Mathematical Analysis. He has organized conferences on nonlinear wave equations and PDEs since 1998.
