Dr. Siyang Wang

Biography

Siyang Wang is an Assistant Professor in Computational Mathematics at Umeå University. His primary research focuses on the development, analysis, and implementation of numerical methods for partial differential equations. In recent years, his efforts have been dedicated to efficient and robust numerical simulations of acoustic and elastic wave propagation, utilizing high-order accurate finite difference and discontinuous Galerkin methods. He has particularly explored the perfectly matched layer (PML) technique for truncating computational domains in hyperbolic problems. His interests further extend to multiscale modeling of materials with properties that vary across different spatial scales. Prior to his appointment, he taught courses in mathematics and numerical methods at Mälardalen University and completed postdoctoral research at Chalmers University of Technology, where he focused on multiscale methods for porous media flows. Wang earned his PhD in Scientific Computing from Uppsala University, where he specialized in high-order finite difference discretizations for wave equations. His contributions to the field are well-documented in numerous research publications and preprints.
