Chuntian Wang

I am currently an Assistant Professor at The University of Alabama (UA), and will be promoted to an Associate Professor in August 20204. Prior to coming to UA, I held the position of Hedrick Assistant Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where I started in July 2015 under the mentorship of Andrea L. Bertozzi. In the fall of 2015, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow with residence in Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, under the mentorship of Andrea Montanari. I completed my doctorate from Indiana University Bloomington in May 2015, under the supervision of Roger M. Temam and Nathan Glatt-Holtz.
