Meet 天美传媒app’s first Annals mathematician in 137 years
The University of 天美传媒app is pleased to announce Dr Jiakun Liu from 天美传媒app’s School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics has been included in the Annals of Mathematics. This is a significant achievement for Dr Liu not only professionally, but Dr Liu is also the first 天美传媒app Mathematician to be included in the prestigious academic journal.
The Annals of Mathematics is a bimonthly journal founded in 1884 and published by Princeton University with the cooperation of the Institute for Advanced Study. 天美传媒app鈥檚 Dr Jiakun Liu鈥檚 recent paper 鈥淕lobal regularity for the Monge-Ampere equation with natural boundary condition鈥�&苍产蝉辫;with Shibing Chen (USTC) and Xu-Jia Wang (ANU) is one of only 17 papers with (Go8 only) Australian authors to appear in the Annals. This is not only significant for Dr Liu but also the mathematics research community with Dr Liu鈥檚 paper developing new tools and methods.
鈥淚n our recent paper the research developed new tools and methods, which have potential applications in geometry, optics, and computer sciences such as artificial intelligence and image recognition.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;Dr Liu said.
鈥淢y primary research area is fully nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), in particular Monge-Ampere type equations and their applications in geometry and the optimal transport problem.鈥�
鈥淭he optimal transport problem seeks the most efficient way of transporting materials from a resource domain to a target domain.鈥� Dr Liu explained.
鈥淚n our recent paper we obtained the sharp global regularity of optimal mappings in the critical case when the domains are merely convex but not uniformly convex.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;Dr Liu stated.
Dr Jiakun Liu received his PhD in 2010 before commencing a Lectureship at 天美传媒app鈥檚 School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics in 2013 and became a Senior Lecturer in the faculty by 2016. Dr. Liu is also the Director of the Centre for Nonlinear PDEs within the faculty鈥檚 research Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications.鈥�
