Yuefan Deng

Yuefan Deng (Y. F. Deng, Chinese: 邓越凡; pinyin: Dèng Yuèfán, born December 1962) is a professor at Stony Brook University and is also an affiliated faculty of the Institute of Advanced Computational Sciences at the same university. In addition, he is the Mt. Tai Scholar at the National Supercomputer Center in Jinan, China and this title ended in December, 2017. Yuefan Deng specializes in design and applications of supercomputers. He published widely in physics, applied mathematics, life science and biomedical engineering, in addition to the Biography of C. N. Yang,[1] the Nobel laureate. He has been granted 13 patents by the US Patent and Trademark Office and China's State Intellectual Property Office and most of these patents are related to supercomputer network topologies. In 2002, with a direct invitation from then Nankai University president, Deng became the founding director of the Nankai Institute of Scientific Computing. He later resigned from the post in 2005 after completing the first term.[2]

This is a Chinese name; the family name is Deng.

Education

Yuefan Deng obtained his BS degree, with honors, in physics from Nankai University of China in 1983. In August that year, he entered the Department of Physics of Columbia University through a special scholarship program CUSPEA organized by the Chinese-American Nobel laureate T. D. Lee. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics with a thesis on simulating gauge theory using special-purpose supercomputers supervised by Norman Christ from Columbia University in 1989. He did his postdoctoral training in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University with James Glimm, during the summer of 1989.
