COMPUTATIONAL & APPLIED MATHEMATICS

Geometry in motion, computation with structure.

I am Quan Zhao (赵泉), a Research Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Science and Technology of China. I develop mathematical models and structure-preserving numerical methods for evolving interfaces, geometric flows, and multiphase systems.

01 / PROFILE

About me.

My work lies at the intersection of applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. I am particularly interested in models where geometry evolves over time, and in algorithms that preserve the physical or variational structure of those models at the discrete level.

Before joining USTC, I was a Humboldt postdoctoral fellow in Harald Garcke’s group at the University of Regensburg. I received my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Weizhu Bao and Weiqing Ren.
