About

Chi-Wang Shu is the Chair of the Division of Applied Mathematics and holds the title of Theodore B. Stowell University Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1986. His research interests encompass a broad range of topics within applied mathematics, including the numerical solutions of conservation laws and convection-dominated problems using finite difference essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) methods and weighted ENO (WENO) methods, finite element discontinuous Galerkin methods, and spectral methods. Additionally, he focuses on the numerical solution of Hamilton-Jacobi type equations, computational fluid dynamics, and the numerical solution of equations relevant to semiconductor device simulations.
