Renowned mathematician Huaxin Lin leaves US for China
Huaxin Lin, a renowned Chinese-American mathematician, has returned to China to work full-time at the Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (SIMIS) after nearly 40 years in the United States. The 69-year-old will serve as a professor at the institute, which is led by mathematician Shing-Tung Yau and focuses on advancing mathematical research and its applications.
Lin previously held a professorship at the University of Oregon for 30 years, specializing in operator algebras and making significant contributions to C*-algebra theory, a field relevant to quantum mechanics and physics. He aims to train students at SIMIS and Fudan University, teaching Real Analysis at Fudan this semester while continuing his research on operator algebras at SIMIS. Lin's interest in mathematics was sparked during the Cultural Revolution, leading him to a distinguished career in the field.
