Welcome to Xiong's Website
About me
Hello! I am Xiong Wang (王雄). In August 2022, I joined Johns Hopkins University as a J.J. Sylvester Assistant Professor (non-tenure track) in the Department of Mathematics. My office is Krieger 311.
Before that, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Alberta in June 2022. My supervisor is Professor Yaozhong Hu.
Email address: xiong_wang@jhu.edu (preferred), xiongwang@jhu.edu or xwang358@jhu.edu.
Research interests
I am interested in probability theory and its applications, particularly in complex systems influenced by random factors. My current research focuses on the intersection of probability, statistics, partial differential equations (PDEs), and machine learning. I am particularly interested in applying theoretical insights from stochastic analysis and PDEs to solve challenging problems in machine learning and data-driven applications. My current work investigates inverse problems and machine learning within stochastic dynamic systems, especially interacting particle systems (IPS), aiming to establish solid mathematical foundations and develop efficient, scalable algorithms.
