Mei-Chi Shaw

Mei-Chi Shaw is a Taiwanese-American mathematician. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Notre Dame. Her research concerns partial differential equations.

Life and career

Shaw was born in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1955. She graduated from National Taiwan University with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1977. She then completed doctoral studies in the United States, earning her Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University in 1981 under Joseph Kohn.
After receiving her doctorate, took a postdoctoral position at Purdue University During this time, she married her husband, Hsueh-Chia Chang. In 1983, Shaw took a tenure-track position at Texas A&M University, moving to University of Houston in 1986 and finally relocating to the University of Notre Dame in 1987, first as an associate professor and then as full professor.

In 2012, Shaw became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. For 2019 she received the Stefan Bergman Prize.
