Hao Shen is an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics. He received a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from Princeton University in 2013 and joined the University of Wisconsin–Madison faculty in 2018. His area of research is mathematical physics, and his interests include stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE), their interaction with quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, interacting particle systems and geometric flows. Professor Shen has taught courses ranging from large service courses in calculus to the most advanced graduate courses. Particularly noteworthy items are his development of a new graduate course on SPDE and handling of large REACH courses.
A word from Dean Eric M. Wilcots:
Professor Shen has proven himself in areas such as stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE), stochastic analysis, quantum field theory, statistical mechanics and interacting particle systems. He has had a prolific research output and stands out for his recent groundbreaking work in solving long-standing problems in quantum field theory.
