Xiaodong Yan
Professor of Mathematics
I am a Professor in the math department at UConn. My research area is nonlinear partial differential equations with an emphasis on regularity issues and pattern formations. Areas of focus include: elliptic systems, multidimensional variational problems, regularity problem for nonlinear dissipative parabolic systems, regularity problem for integral system, pattern formation, coarsening in dissipative system from materials science, dislocations and grain boundaries and homogenization problems.
My research is currently sponsored by NSF and Simons Foundation.
