Weiqing Gu
Weiqing Gu is a Chinese-American mathematician who works as the Avery Professor of Mathematics and director of the mathematics clinic at Harvey Mudd College. Her research concerns differential geometry and Grassmann manifolds.[1] She has also worked with Harvey Mudd colleague Lisette de Pillis on the mathematical modeling of cancer.[2]
Gu began teaching mathematics at Shanghai Teachers University in 1980, earned a bachelor's degree there in 1984, and continued teaching there until 1987.[3] She began her graduate studies in mathematics at the University of Oklahoma in 1988, but moved the following year to the University of Pennsylvania,[3] completing her Ph.D. in 1995 under the supervision of Herman R. Gluck, a topologist who had been a student of Ralph Fox.[4] In 1996, she added a master's degree in computer science, also from the University of Pennsylvania, after which she joined the faculty at Harvey Mudd.[3]
