Welcome to Xiaofeng Ren’s Blog

I joined the George Washington University in 2007 as an associate professor and became a full professor in 2010. I received my Bachelor's degree from Zhejiang University, China, in 1990 and PhD's degree from University of Minnesota, USA, in 1994. I was a postdoctoral associate at the Institute for Mathematics and Applications in 1995-1996. Before joining GWU, I was an associate professor at Utah State University. I have held visiting professor positions at Brigham Young University, Sydney University, National Taiwan University, and University of British Columbia.

I work on pattern formation problems arising from physical and biological systems. Examples include morphology phases in block copolymers and morphogensis in cell development. I develop mathematically rigorous singular limit methods to study various geometric structures observed in many systems as outcomes of self-organization principles.

I have published over 60 research papers and been supported by a number of National Science Foundation grants and Simons Foundation grants.
