Shih-Kai Chiu

Since Winter 2025, I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at University of California, Irvine, where my mentor is Xiangwen Zhang. During Fall 2024, I was a Postdoc SLMath at the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (formerly MSRI) under the program Special Geometric Structures and Analysis, where my mentor was Mark Haskins.

During the academic year 2023-2024, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at Vanderbilt University working with Ioana Suvaina. During the academic years 2021-2023, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Special Holonomy at the University of Oxford, where my mentor was Jason D. Lotay.

I obtained my PhD in Mathematics in August 2021 from the University of Notre Dame, under the supervision of Gábor Székelyhidi. I am interested in geometric analysis and complex differential geometry, as well as related areas.

Research

I am currently interested in manifolds with special holonomy and calibrated submanifolds. My main focus is on Calabi-Yau manifolds and special Lagrangian submanifolds.
