My name is Yuhan Zhu (祝 宇涵 in Chinese, read like "ju yü-hán").
I am currently a PhD student at Department of Mathematics, Lehigh University. I previously obtained my Master's and Bachelor's degrees from Southeast University and Chongqing University in China.

Geometric analysis and minimal surfaces. Currently, my research focuses on the following topics:
Gradient estimate and Hessian estimate for quasi-linear ellptic or parabolic equations on the Riemannian manifolds, or generalized metric measure spaces, or under geometric flows.
The stability of hypersurfaces with capillary boundary conditions
Hamilton-type gradient estimates for Yamabe-type equations on Finsler manifolds. Afrika Matematika. 36, 134 (2025), with S. Huang, X. Liu, B. Shen. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13370-025-01355-0
Li-Yau estimates for a nonlinear parabolic equation on Finsler metric measure spaces. Manuscripta Mathematica. 176, 22 (2025), with B. Shen. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00229-025-01615-0
Nonlinear eigenvalue problems for a class of quasilinear operator on complete Riemannian manifolds, with B. Shen, arXiv:2502.05426
Feasibility of Nash--Moser iteration for Cheng--Yau-type gradient estimates of nonlinear equations on complete Riemannian manifolds, with B. Shen, arXiv:2405.10344
PDEs. These notes are from reading seminar of Evans' PDE in 2022-2023. It contains Chapter 5 - 7, Sobolev Space and "Big Three" (elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equation.), and part of Chapter 8 for nonlinear case. In addition, some answers for the problems in Chapter 6 and 7.
A small talk on De Rham Cohomology and Euler Characteristic.
Riemannian Geometry, based on the textbook by do Carmo and notes on Differential Manifold when I was studying Lectures on Differential Geometry by Chern.
Geometric Analysis, the lecture notes in Spring 2023, based on the classic textbook by Peter Li. The video recordings of the lecture can be seen on Bilibili (in Chinese).
Convergence of manifolds, from the lectures by Brian Allen in VIASM-ICTP summer school in 2023, introduces different types of convergence such as Gromov-Hausdorff convergence, flat convergence, and Sormani-Wenger intrinsic flat (SWIF) convergence .
Here is some of answers (in Chinese) for Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces, do Carmo. I typed these notes when I was a TA in Spring 2022.
Stokes' Theorem on Manifolds (in Chinese). I gave a short lecture on this topic in Spring 2022, covering elemental tensor calculation and smooth manifold.
