I studied Chemical Physics (Department 3) as well as Modern Physics (Department 4, major; B.Sc., 2001) at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). I completed my PhD in theoretical and computational space plasma physics in 2009 at Boston University under the supervision of Prof. Nathan Schwadron, with much of my research conducted at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under the guidance of Dr. Dan Winske and the late Dr. S. Peter Gary.
I subsequently held a postdoctoral position at the Bartol Research Institute, University of Delaware, working with Profs. Michael A. Shay and William H. Matthaeus, and was promoted to Research Scientist in 2012.
While family circumstances kept me in the UK, I was supported by an STFC Daphne Jackson Fellowship (2018–2021). Since 2022, now based in Germany, I have been focusing on mathematics publishing at Springer Nature.
In 2024, with Prof. Helmut Bölcskei and the support of our colleagues, we launched the Springer Journal Mathematical Foundations of Machine Learning (submissions open on 01-01-2025).
I am responsible for the following Journals.
Integral Equations and Operator Theory
Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics
Circuits, Systems, and Signal Processing
Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications
Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations
Journal of Fixed Point Theory and Applications
Journal of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Applications
Journal of Elliptic and Parabolic Equations
Banach Journal of Mathematical analysis
