The AMMCS Kolmogorov-Wiener Prize for Young Researchers

Siran Li, (Rice University & McGill University)

Award citation: Siran Li received his D. Phil. from the University of Oxford in 2017, after completing his B.A. in Mathematics at Columbia University. After his graduation, he has shared his responsibility between the Rice University (Houston, USA) as a G. C. Evans Instructor and the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques and Institut des Sciences Mathematiques (Montreal, Canada) as a CRM–ISM Post-doctoral Fellow. Dr. Siran Li’s research interests include a wide range of topics such as analysis of PDEs and geometric analysis, calculus of variations and mechanics, as well as applications in physics, engineering and statistics. Among his many achievements, he made significant contribution to the research program aimed at relating the Euler equations of gas dynamics to the problem of isometric immersion of surfaces in differential geometry. At the time of the award, he has published and submitted over twenty journal publications, most of which to the top tier journals of his field. Dr. Siran Li’s work is largely motivated by the problems arising in applications and it is centered on developing and applying highly innovative mathematical tools from analysis, geometry, and mechanics.
