Zhuoran Wang

Zhuoran Wang is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kansas, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on scientific computing, numerical analysis, and partial differential equations, with a particular emphasis on weak Galerkin finite element methods applied to fluid dynamics, poroelasticity, and linear elasticity. He contributes to computational mechanics through innovative solver designs and software tools like DarcyLite and implementations within the deal.II library.

His work spans theoretical analysis of numerical methods, including convergence properties and robustness of iterative solvers, as well as practical applications in quadrilateral and hybrid mesh discretizations. Key themes include penalty-free FEMs, locking-free solvers, and efficient preconditioning techniques for complex systems such as Stokes flow and poroelastic problems.
