Students and post-doctorates

As of June 2018, 17 students had completed their Ph.D. degrees under Du's supervision. He had also supported 10 post-doctorates.

Recognition

Du was elected a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2013 for "contributions to applied and computational mathematics with applications in material science, computational geometry, and biology."[3] In 2017 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[4] He was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in the 2020 Class, for "contributions to applied and computational mathematics with applications in materials science, computational geometry, and biology".[5]

gollark: (I don't actually support this, it would be problematic, but I think there are good arguments that parents getting tons of control over raising children is actually problematic)
gollark: Anyway, I have a better solution, give all children to the government to ensure normalized raising without possibly bad parental whatever involved.
gollark: Sure they are. Both are just "government arbitrarily deciding what some people can do with each other".
gollark: I couldn't say, I've never seriously done forest (or otherwise) arson.
gollark: I mean, it would be less arbitrary by some metrics to go "nothing is a person, human life has value 0" but people don't like that.
