Biography

Willie Wai-Yeung Wong is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics. His research focuses on interaction geometry and partial differential equations (PDEs). He mainly works on two current interests: (1) applying viewpoint methods from differential and pseudo-Riemannian geometry to the study of hyperbolic PDEs, and (2) solving inherently geometric problems associated with PDEs. His notable example includes work on shock formation in quasilinear wave equations, as well as contributions to general relativity and studies of time-like constant mean curvature submanifolds in Minkowski space. He serves as the co-Director of Undergraduate Studies within the department, and students can find more information on his website.
