Ziqi Sun is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Physics at Wichita State University, affiliated with the Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He earned his PhD in Mathematics from UCLA in 1987. Before joining Wichita State University in 1990, he held positions at the University of Washington. His academic promotions included Associate Professor (1992) and Professor (1997).
Research Interests: Dr. Sun focuses on inverse problems in partial differential equations (PDEs), conformal geometry, and nonlinear materials. His work includes solving classical issues in inverse boundary value problems for elliptic equations and inverse scattering theory. He has pioneered geometric frameworks linking nonlinear inverse problems to linear theory, yielding uniqueness results for anisotropic elliptic equations.
Key Contributions: Supported by three NSF grants (1990–1998), his research has addressed isotropic/anisotropic Calderon problems and nonlinear elasticity. Current work emphasizes nonlinear inverse boundary value problems in anisotropic media. His collaborations have resolved foundational questions in inverse scattering and vector potential analysis.
Awards/Grants: While no named awards are listed, his sustained NSF funding underscores research impact. His academic leadership includes departmental chairmanship, balancing administration with active research and teaching roles.
