Resume 1959, born in Room Zhengjiahe 17, Zhenhai, Ningbo, Zhejiang. 198 1 year, graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University, and then went to study in the United States. 1985, Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Minnesota. During the period of 1985- 1987, he worked as a teaching assistant in Crane College of new york University. From 65438 to 0988, he became a full professor (29 years old) in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Chicago. From 65438 to 0989, he returned to new york University and became a tenured professor at Crane College.

Academic Lin Fanghua has made outstanding contributions in mathematical fields such as geometric measurement theory, partial differential equations and geometric analysis. Especially in the equation properties of liquid crystal lattice combination, he has made great academic achievements and is recognized as a representative in this field.

1990, at the international congress of mathematicians held in Kyoto, Japan, Lin Fanghua, who was only 3 1 year old, was invited to give a 45-minute academic report. This was after mathematicians Wu Wenjun and Chen Jingrun were invited to give lectures (both during the Cultural Revolution, but unfortunately they couldn't make it). More than 65,438+00 years later, China mathematicians were finally invited to give a talk at the Supreme International Congress of Mathematicians.

Lin Fanghua's recent research work mainly focuses on the Ginzburg-Landau equation and harmonic mapping which describe the physical properties of superconductivity and superfluidity.

In 2005, he was elected as a member of the American Academy of Science and Arts.

In 2004, Chen Shengshen Award (the 3rd World Congress of Chinese Mathematicians)

In 2002, the Bosch Memorial Award was awarded by the American Mathematical Society (together with Tao Zhexuan and Daniel Tata).
