Qihao Ye Joins Applied Math Faculty

Qihao Ye will join the Applied Mathematics faculty as a limited-term assistant professor in July 2026.

He received his BS in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from the Southern University of Science and Technology in 2020 and his PhD in Mathematics from the University of California San Diego in 2026, under the supervision of Xiaochuan Tian.

His research lies at the intersection of numerical analysis, scientific computing, and machine learning, with a focus on developing mathematically grounded computational methods for PDEs, nonlocal models, stochastic dynamics, and data-driven inference. He is also increasingly interested in using advanced modern tools to accelerate mathematical research, especially through systems that support reliable, self-corrective, and verifiable reasoning. Looking ahead, he aims to broaden his research portfolio across applied mathematics, data science, and computational science, while building computational frameworks that connect analysis, algorithms, data, and decision-making.
