The Shing-Tung Yau Center of Southeast University (SEUYC) was established as a new type of scientific research institution of Southeast University on the 7th July, 2017 and was transformed into a special academic zone on the 10th May, 2021. The center is directed by Prof. Shing-Tung Yau, an internationally renowned mathematician and recipient of the Fields Medal, Wolf Prize and Shaw Prize.
Professional talents are the basis of discipline construction. SEUYC takes on the burden of recruiting high level talents and fostering a new generation of word-leading mathematicians. In the past six years, SEUYC has introduced 31 full-time staff members (including 4 foreign nationalities), 4 of whom are selected in the national talent programs. Currently, the center has 5 postdoctoral fellows and 38 graduate students.
SEUYC has multiple research directions, covering basic research fields such as differential geometry, algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory, partial differential equations, mathematical physics, theoretical physics, as well as applied research areas including computational mathematics, information science, data science, medical imaging and smart grids. In recent years, SEUYC members have led over 40 research projects funded by national, provincial, and ministerial-level institutions, as well as overseas young talent program. In the past six years, 123 academic papers were published in internationally renowned mathematics and interdisciplinary journals, such as Duke Math. J., Advances in Mathematics, Mathematische Annalen, Crelle's Journal, CVPDE, SIAM J. Sci. Comput and Inverse Probl., and top-tier physics journal, such as PRL, Scipost Physics and JHEP. The center organizes various academic seminars and small-scale academic conferences throughout the year, with over 140 seminars held in 2023 alone.
Based on the research needs and discipline construction requirements, SEUYC focuses on hiring high level talents in the field of fundamental sciences. With the support of the Southeast University and relevant departments, SEUYC adopts flexible and special policies to provide broad space for the growth of talents.
东南大学丘成桐中心(简称SEUYC)于2017年7月7日正式揭牌成立，是学校直接管理的“行政虚体、科研实体”的新型科研机构。2021年5月10日，东南大学丘成桐中心由新型科研机构调整为学术特区，由国际数学大师、菲尔兹奖、沃尔夫奖、邵逸夫奖获得者丘成桐院士担任中心主任。
人才为学科建设之基。丘中心以高水平人才引进、造就新一代世界领先数学家为根本任务。过去六年间，中心已引进全日制教师31人（含外籍4人），其中入选国家级人才计划4人。目前，在站博士后5人，在学研究生38人。
丘中心目前有多个研究方向，涵盖了微分几何、代数几何、代数数论、偏微分方程、数学物理、理论物理等基础研究领域和计算数学、信息科学、数据科学、医学影像、智能电网等应用研究领域。近几年，中心成员先后主持过国家级、省部级、科技部重大等科研项目40余项，在国际高水平数学及交叉学科综合期刊如Duke Math. J., Advances in Mathematics, Mathematische Annalen, Crelle's Journal, CVPDE, SIAM J. Sci. Comput.和Inverse Probl.等杂志，国际高水平物理期刊如PRL, Scipost Physics, JHEP等上，近五年发表论文共计123篇。中心常年举办各类学术报告会和小型学术研讨会议，仅2023年一年就有140余场。
根据中心目前研究工作的需要和学科建设的要求，丘中心将重点引进基础科学领域的高端人才，依托学校和相关院系的支持，采取灵活特殊的支持政策，为人才的发展提供广阔的空间。东南大学丘成桐中心诚邀海内外英才加盟，共谋发展。
