Siran Li is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at NYU Shanghai. Siran's research interests lie in PDE (Partial Differential Equation), calculus of variations, global and geometric analysis, and applied math. 

From 2009 to 2013, Siran studied math (BA) at Columbia University in NY and then obtained a DPhil from the University of Oxford, UK in 2017 under the supervision of Prof. Gui-Qiang G. Chen. Before joining NYU Shanghai, Siran was a G. C. Evans Instructor at Rice University (Houston) mentored by Prof. Robert M. Hardt, and a CRM--ISM postdoctoral fellow at McGill University (Montreal).
