Changyou Wang has written and co-written 48 articles including “Stationary biharmonic maps from $\Bbb R\sp m$ into a Riemannian manifold.” In the article, Wang notes critical points of the Hessian energy functional appear in the study of the equilibrium state for configurations of elastic materials, and also in the bending complexity of cell membranes. Further, he establishes an optimal partial regularity theorem for any stationary critical points of Hessian energy for maps between two Riemennian manifolds.

Wang holds a bachelor’s degree from Beijing Normal University, a master’s degree from Academia Sinica in China and a doctorate from Rice University. His career includes various honors and awards including the Sloan Dissertation Fellowship, the Centennial Fellowship from the American Mathematical Society and National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences research grants, 1997-present. His research interest includes Nonlinear Partial Differential Equation, Geometric Analysis, Calculus of Variations, Application of Geometry Measure Theory.
