About the Department

Founded in June 2015, the Department of Mathematics’ research covers three major directions: pure mathematics, computational and applied mathematics, probability and financial mathematics, enveloping algebra, geometry, topology, combinatorics, number theory, algebraic geometry, analysis, dynamical system, PDEs, mathematical physics, probability, computational mathematics, applied mathematics, and financial mathematics etc.

All tenured and tenure-track faculty members have had multiple years of teaching and/or research experiences outside mainland China. They have been invited to speak at major international conferences such as ICM, obtained distinguished honors such as membership to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, National Science Awards, and Guggenheim Fellowships. Our faculty members also serve on the editorial boards of more than 50 international research journals.

Members of the department have received more than 70 research grants, including more than 50 national-level ones. The mathematics program has been recognized as one of the most promising programs by the provincial government in 2018, and by the national government in 2020. In addition, the National Center for Applied Mathematics Shenzhen (NaCAMS) was established in 2020.

The Department is committed to a world-class educational experience for our students. We offer two undergraduate programs:  Financial Math and Math & Applied Math, as well as a graduate program that covers almost all fields of mathematics. In addition, the department also offers joint doctoral programs with a few top overseas and Hong Kong/Macao universities providing prospective students with extra opportunities.
