Wei Xu, Prof. Dr.

I am an (tenure-track) associated professor at School of Mathematics and Statistics, Beijing Institute of Technology, July 2023. 

From April, 2017 to Sep, 2020, I was a postdoctoral researcher (Supported by Alexander von Humboldt Foundation) in Department of Mathematics, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. From Oct, 2020 to June, 2023, I was a research assistent in Department of Mathematics, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
