| Fundamental
Theory of Partial Differential Equations by: Hong-Ming Yin |
This topic deals with the
fundamental aspect of partial differential equations. The focus is on
the well-posedness, regularity of solutions and qualitative properties
of the solution for a PDE problem. |
| Inverse
and Ill-posed Problems in Partial Differential Equations by: Hong-Ming Yin |
This topic deals with problems where a coefficient or a source in a partial differential equation is unknown. One needs to find the solution and the coefficient at the same time. This type of problems arises from various applications such as medical imaging, nondestructive detection and discovering material properties. |
| Asset
Pricing in Financial Engineering by: Hong-Ming Yin |
This topic deals with the mathematical modeling for various asset classes such as stocks, real estate and currency. The focus is on how the mathematical model can be formed to predict the future price movement. |
| Electromagnetic
Fields by: Hong-Ming Yin |
The research for this topic is focused on seeking properties of electromagnetic fields. The fundamental theory is based on Maxwell's equations and their generalization. |
