Yau Mathcamp

Lecturers

  • Bong Lian Brandeis University and SIMIS

    Bong Lian 连文豪 is a Professor at Brandeis University in Boston, Massachusetts. He received his PhD in Physics from Yale University in 1991. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, and later at Harvard University. He joined the Brandeis Mathematics Department in 1995, and has remained on their faculty since. Professor Lian's research is at the interface between Mathematics and Physics, and has been interested in questions about the geometry of a class of spaces known as Calabi-Yau manifolds. His research interests also include representation theory and string theory. Professor Lian was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Research Fellowship in 2003 http://www.gf.org/fellows/all-fellows, and he received a Chern Prize at the 2013 International Congress of Chinese Mathematician in Taipei, "for exceptional contributions to mathematical research or to public service activities in support of mathematics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Chern_Prize_(ICCM), http://iccm.tims.ntu.edu.tw/#@MorningsideAwards In 2015, he joined eight renowned mathematicians to received a Simons Collaboration Grant on Homological Mirror Symmetry, https://schms.math.berkeley.edu/. In 2014, along with Professor Shing-Tung Yau, Lian cofounded the Tsinghua Mathcamp and has served as its Director since its founding. Professor Lian will be teaching Linear Algebra I and II at this Mathcamp.

  • Nikolay Moshchevitin Moscow State University

    In 2004 - 2022, Nikolay Moshevitin was a Professor of Number Theory at Moscow Lomonosov State University (Russia). In 2022-2023, he was a Visiting Professor at the Israel Institute of Technology, Technion (Israel), and at Tsinghua University (China). Since March 2025, he has been a Researcher in Technische Universität Wien (Austria). He is also Co-editor-in-chief of Combinatorics and Number Theory, editor of Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly. N. Moshchevitin works mostly in Diophantine Approximation and related topics. He gave solutions to several problems posed by W.M. Schmidt and published about 100 papers.

  • Mauricio Romo Fudan university and SIMIS

    Mauricio Romo is an associate professor at SIMIS, Fudan University. He received his PhD at University of California, Santa Barbara in 2012. Before joining SIMIS and Fudan, he worked as an assistant professor at Tsinghua University and as a postdoctoral researcher at Kavli IPMU and IAS at Princeton. His research interests lie in string theory, mathematical physics and algebraic geometry. He will be teaching Physics at Mathcamp.

  • Chenglong Yu Tsinghua University

    I am an assistant professor at YMSC, Tsinghua University. My research is in algebraic geometry. I am interested in the geometry and arithmetic properties of Calabi-Yau varieties, especially the differential systems arising from Calabi-Yau families. I am also interested in moduli of K3 surfaces and cubic fourfolds. Recently I am working on constructions of complex hyperbolic ball quotients and related questions in hyperplane arrangements.
