Biography
Xing Gu was born in 1987 in the city of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. He was awarded a Bachelor's degree in science in 2010 by Nankai University, a master's degree in theoratical mathematics in 2013 by Nankai University, and a PhD degree in mathematics in 2017 by the University of Illinois at Chicago. He subsequently worked as a postdoc at the University of Melbourne from November 2017 to January 2020, and at the Max Planck Institute from Febuary 2020 to January 2021. He joined the Wesklake University as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics in April 2022.
Research
Dr Xing Gu's primary research interests are homotopy theory and the theory of characteristic classes of Lie groups and algebraic groups.
