Born and raised in China, Mr. Bu experienced the Cultural Revolution as
a teenager and once worked at a tire factory. He came to America for
graduate study in 1985, joined the Wellesley faculty in 1992 and became
Chair of Mathematics Department in 2005.
Author of 30 research articles (some with Wellesley students), Mr. Bu
has done work in boundary value problems for important evolution
equations such as the nonlinear Schrodinger equation and
Ginzburg-Landau equation. These equations
have significant applications in physics, biology and economics. In his
spare time, he likes to watch professional sports, write (in both
Chinese and English), play internet games such as mahjongg and Chinese
card games, and travel.
