Wan, Xiang

Assistant Professor

Dr. Xiang Wan did his undergraduate work in mathematics at Beijing Jiaotong University, China. Then he continued his study of mathematics, with a M.S. at Auburn University and a Ph.D. at the University of Virginia. Before joining Loyola in 2022, he held post-doc and visiting positions in several institutions, including Wayne State University, George Washington University, and Haverford College.

He is an applied mathematician whose research mainly involves Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). His recent work is in two-fold: (i) qualitative studies of different PDE systems, such as well-posedness, long term behavior, associated control theory; (ii) numerical analysis of discrete schemes for PDE systems.

His research is partially supported by the National Sciences Foundation.
