Shen Weixiao

In this Chinese name, the family name is Shen.

Shen Weixiao (Chinese: 沈维孝; pinyin: Shěn Wéixiào; born May 1975 in Guichi, Anhui, China) is a Chinese mathematician, specializing in dynamical systems (in particular, real and complex one-dimensional dynamics).

Shen graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1995. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2001 with thesis On the metric property of multimodal interval maps and density of axiom A under the supervision of Mitsuhiro Shishikura. Shen was previously a professor at the National University of Singapore. He is currently a professor at Fudan University.

He published, with Oleg Kozlovski and Sebastian van Strien, a solution of the 2nd part of the 11th problem of Smale's problems.

In 2009 Shen was one of the two winners of the Chern Award of the Chinese Mathematical Society. In 2014 Shen was an invited speaker, with Sebastian van Strien, at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul.
