Jincheng Yang is an assistant professor in the Whiting School of Engineering’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics.
Yang’s research focuses on analysis and partial differential equations, particularly those arising from fluid dynamics and kinetic theory, such as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, the Fokker-Planck equation, and the Boltzmann and Landau equations. Yang investigates key properties of these systems, including regularity and blow-up, stability and instability, and uniqueness and non-uniqueness of solutions.
Before joining Johns Hopkins, Yang was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study, and served as a Dickson instructor at the University of Chicago. Yang received a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2022, with a dissertation on partial regularity results for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Yang earned a bachelor’s in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (honors program) from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2017.
