Mei-Chi Shaw(Chinese:Tiêu mỹ kỳ;pinyin:Xiāo Měiqí;born 1955) is a Taiwanese-American mathematician. She is a professor of mathematics at theUniversity of Notre Dame.[1]Her research concernspartial differential equations.

Life and career

[edit]

Shaw was born inTaipei, Taiwan,in 1955.[2]She graduated with an undergraduate degree in mathematics fromNational Taiwan Universityin 1977. Shaw received herPh.D.from Princeton University four years later in 1981, working withJoseph Kohn.[3]She then took a postdoctoral position atPurdue University[2]During this time, she married her husband, Hsueh-Chia Chang.
