Jun Li ({{zh|s=李骏}}) is a Chinese mathematician who is currently a Professor of Mathematics at Fudan University and Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Stanford University.{{cite web| url=https://mathematics.stanford.edu/people/jun-li |title=Jun Li - Department Directory |publisher=Stanford University |accessdate=4 November 2019}}{{cite journal|url=https://www.intlpress.com/site/pub/pages/journals/items/cjm/content/vols/0007/0003/a003/index.php |title=Cambridge Journal of Mathematics: Mixed-Spin-P fields of Fermat polynomials |publisher=International Press |date=11 September 2019 |doi=10.4310/CJM.2019.v7.n3.a3 |s2cid=203121914 |accessdate=4 November 2019}} He focuses primarily on moduli problems in algebraic geometry and their applications to mathematical physics, geometry and topology.
Education
Li graduated from Shanghai Lu Xun High School in 1978. After finishing first in the national high school mathematics competition, he was exempt from the National College Entrance Examination and was directly accepted by Fudan University. He earned his B.S. and M.S. in mathematics from Fudan in 1982 and 1984, respectively.{{Cite web|url=http://news.ifeng.com/gundong/detail_2012_09/06/17386712_0.shtml|title="跨国教育"亲历者眼中的大学|last=|first=|date=2012-09-06|website=Phoenix TV|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-08-16}} He then earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1989, under the supervision of Shing-Tung Yau.{{Cite web|url=https://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=18833|title = Jun Li - the Mathematics Genealogy Project}}
Awards
Li was an invited speaker at the 1994 ICM. He received a Morningside Gold Medal of Mathematics in 2001 "for his contributions to the study of moduli spaces of vector bundles and to the theory of stable maps and invariants of Calabi-Yau manifolds."[https://www.ams.org/notices/200205/people.pdf "Notices of the AMS – Mathematics People"], American Mathematical Society, May 2002.
