Assoc Prof Yao Yao is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and serves as Vice Dean of the NUS Graduate School. Her research focuses on nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in fluid mechanics and mathematical biology. She has held academic positions at NUS since 2015, previously serving as an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech (2013–2015), and completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her work integrates analytical techniques with numerical methods to study phenomena such as fluid dynamics, chemotaxis, and aggregation-diffusion processes.
Research interests include: 1) Analysis of free boundary problems in fluid dynamics (e.g., Euler equations, porous media flows), 2) Mathematical modeling of biological processes (e.g., chemotaxis-driven pattern formation, species competition), and 3) Stability and long-time behavior of PDE systems. Notable contributions include studies on singularity formation in SQG patches and aggregation-diffusion equations, as well as symmetry properties of steady states.
Selected awards and recognitions include editorial roles at journals such as Nonlinearity and SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis. Yao's work frequently addresses interfacial dynamics and energy methods in PDE analysis.
