Liu Tai-Ping

Liu Tai-Ping ( Chinese  劉太平 , Pinyin Liú Tàipíng ; born November 18, 1945 ) is a Taiwanese mathematician who deals with partial differential equations.

Liu Tai-Ping, Berkeley 1980

Liu studied mathematics at the National University of Taiwan (bachelor's degree in 1968), received his master's degree in 1970 from Oregon State University and received his doctorate in 1973 from the University of Michigan with Joel Smoller ( Riemann problem for general 2 × 2 systems of conservation laws ) . He was then a professor at the University of Maryland , from 1988 at New York University and from 1990 at Stanford University , where he has since retired. He has been a Distinguished Research Fellow at Academia Sinica since 2000. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .

He deals with nonlinear partial differential equations, hyperbolic conservation laws, shock waves , the Boltzmann equation and equations of gas dynamics.

In 1979 he became a research fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellow ). In 1998 he gave the DiPerna lecture. In 1992 he became a member of the Academia Sinica . In 2002 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing (Shock Waves).
