Rate My Professor Chenggui Yuan

Professor Chenggui Yuan is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Swansea University. He received his PhD from the University of Strathclyde in 2003 for his thesis titled Numerical solutions and stability of stochastic differential equations with Markovian switching, supervised by Xuerong Mao. Yuan's career at Swansea University commenced as a Lecturer from 2003 to 2004, followed by Senior Lecturer from 2004 to 2008, Reader from 2008 to 2011, and Professor since 2011. He also held a Research Associate position at the University of Cambridge from 2017 to 2019. Currently, he supervises PhD students on topics including mean-field stochastic functional differential equations with jumps, algebraic methods in feedback control and splines with boundary conditions, and convergence of numerical solutions of stochastic differential delay equations. Yuan teaches modules such as Fundamental Complex Numbers, Probability and Statistics, Probability Theory, and Markov Processes and Applications.

His research focuses on stochastic analysis, population dynamics, financial mathematics, and stochastic control. Yuan has authored over 120 journal articles. Key publications include the co-authored book Asymptotic Analysis for Functional Stochastic Differential Equations (Springer, 2017) with Jianhai Bao and George Yin; Stochastic Differential Equations with Low Regularity Growing Drifts and Applications (SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2025, with Jinlong Wei and Junhao Hu); Stability Analysis for Nonlinear Neutral Stochastic Functional Differential Equations (SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2024, with Hao Chen); Long time TV-Wℓ1 type propagation of chaos for mean field interacting particle system (Bernoulli, 2025, with Xing Huang and Fan Yang); and Humidity modifies species-specific and age-dependent heat stress effects in an insect host-parasitoid interaction (Ecology and Evolution, 2024, with Dan Li et al.). He serves as Associate Editor for Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems since 2017, Numerical Algorithms since 2019, and Discrete & Continuous Dynamical Systems S since 2019.
