Prof. QIAO Zhonghua (left) was honored as a CSIAM Fellow during the 23rd Annual Conference held in Changsha.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is dedicated to advancing cutting-edge knowledge and fostering academic excellence across various disciplines. Prof. QIAO Zhonghua, Chair Professor of Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing and RGC Research Fellow in the Department of Applied Mathematics, has been named a Fellow of the China Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (CSIAM).
The fellowship is the highest and lifetime academic honour conferred by the CSIAM, recognising of the recipient’s extraordinary achievements in the field of industrial and applied mathematics. This honor not only signifies high recognition of Prof. QIAO’s significant contributions to the design and analysis of numerical algorithms for differential equations but also highlights his groundbreaking achievements in the numerical study of multiphase complex systems.
Prof. QIAO's research on semi-implicit and unconditionally energy-stable numerical methods for multiphase complex systems holds pioneering significance. He has proposed a series of original energy-stable algorithms and numerical methods preserving the maximum bound principle, while introducing efficient adaptive time-stepping strategies that achieve an optimal balance between computational efficiency and accuracy, significantly enhancing the reliability and precision of phase-field model simulations.
Furthermore, he has conducted rigorous theoretical analysis of the L-infinity stability of exponential time differencing (ETD) numerical methods, providing crucial impetus for the theoretical development and computational practice of phase-field models containing high-order diffusion terms.
CSIAM, incorporated in 1990, aims to promote innovation in industrial and applied mathematics research and to advance the application of mathematics to industry, science, and society. This year's the 23rd annual conference was held in Changsha, Hunan, with over 1,800 experts, academics, and enterprise leaders participating.
