Shui-Nee Chow
Shui-Nee Chow (born July 13, 1943 in Shanghai ) is a Chinese-American mathematician who studies dynamic systems , nonlinear analysis and differential equations.
Chow graduated from the National University of Singapore with a bachelor's degree in 1965. In 1970 he received his PhD in mathematics from the University of Maryland with James Alan Yorke ( Almost periodic differential equations ). He was Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University from 1987 to 1991 .
He is a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology ; There he was director of the Center for Dynamical Systems and Nonlinear Studies in 1988/89 and director of the School of Mathematics from 1989 to 1998 . He also taught at the National University of Singapore, where he was head of the Computational Science department in 1998/99 and deputy director of research at the university and, from 1999 to 2001, dean of research and graduate studies .
He and Jack K. Hale wrote a standard work on bifurcations .
In 1988 he received a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation . 1997 to 1999 he headed the SIAM Activity Group for dynamic systems .
He was co-editor of the "Journal of Differential Equations".
