The 40th Anniversary of Shenzhen University and the 40th Anniversary of Mathematics Department

Liyuan scholar Colloquium forty-eight

 Lecture Title: Threshold Dynamics Method and Applications

Speaker: Prof. Xiaoping Wang (CUHK-Shenzhen)

Lecture time: November 7, 2023 16：30-17:30

Lecture location: Classroom No. 3, 1/F, Hui Xing Building, Yuehai Campus, Shenzhen University, China

Overview:The threshold dynamics method is an efficient method for simulating the motion by mean curvature flow. The method alternately diffuses and sharpens characteristic functions of regions and is easy to implement and highly efficient. It can also be applied to more general interface problems. I will give an introduction of the threshold dynamics method and its generalizations, analyzing their properties. Applications to the interface motion in multiphase flow, image processing and topology optimization will also be presented.

Speaker Introduction: Wang Xiaoping received his PhD from the Courant Institute of Mathematics (NYU) in 1990. He has held postdoctoral positions at the Mathematical Research Institute (MSRI) at Berkeley and the University of Colorado. Since 1994, he has served as Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor, Chair Professor and Head of Department of Mathematics, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He was the first president of the Hong Kong Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. He won the Feng Kang Scientific Computing Award in 2007, he is the 2016 SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Materials Science 2019 International Conference on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Distinguished Scholar Chair Professor of the Ministry of Education, the Member of the Chinese Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics and the Pearl River Outstanding Talent of Guangdong Province. He is currently the President's Chair Professor at the Polytechnic School of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Professor Wang's current research interests are: modeling and simulation of interface problems and multiphase flows; Image processing; Topology optimization problem in intelligent manufacturing and numerical method of micromagnetic calculation.
