Bio
Sen Hu is a Professor and Vice President at Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (SIMIS). Prior to joining SIMIS, he served as a Professor at University of Science and Technology of China. He obtained his Ph.D in Mathematics at Princeton University in 1990.
Professor Hu is currently working on mathematical problems related to quantum field theory and string theory. He works on the correspondence between gravitational field and gauge field, algebraic characterization of space and time, Chern-Simons matrix model and applications to superconductor and superfluid mechanism. His research has been published in leading journals, including Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Communications in Mathematical Physics, Journal of High Energy Physics, Physical Review, Physics Letters, and Modern Physics Letters.
