Cao Huaidong , also known as Huai-Dong Cao ( Chinese  曹懷東  /  曹怀东 , Pinyin Cáo Huáidōng ; born November 8, 1959 in Jiangsu ) is a Chinese mathematician who deals with differential geometry .

Cao studied at Tsinghua University ( bachelor's degree in 1981) and at Princeton University ( master's degree in 1983), where he received his doctorate in 1986 with Shing-Tung Yau . From 1987 he was an assistant professor at Columbia University . In 1993 he became Associate Professor and in 1999 Professor at Texas A&M University , which he remained until 2004. In 2002/3 he was co-director at UCLA's IPAM . He has been an Everett Pritcher Professor at Lehigh University since 2003 . Among other things, he was visiting scholar and visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1999), Harvard University (2000), IHES (2001), ETH Zurich , Isaac Newton Institute (2001), and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn (2001), at the MSRI (1986/87) and the University of Pisa . In 1992/93 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study .

Cao dealt, among other things, with Ricci rivers and was with Zhu Xiping part of one of the three teams that examined, worked out and completed Grigori Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture .

From 1991 to 1993 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and in 2004 a Guggenheim Fellow. He is the executive editor of the Journal of Differential Geometry.
