Mei-Chi Shaw ({{zh|t=蕭美琪|p=Xiāo Měiqí}}; born 1955) is a Taiwanese-American mathematician. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Notre Dame.{{cite web|title=Mei-Chi Shaw|url=http://www3.nd.edu/~meichi/|accessdate=Feb 9, 2015}} Her research concerns partial differential equations.
Life and career
Shaw was born in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1955.Shaw, Mei-Chi. "A Woman Mathematician's Journey," ICCM Not. 2 (2014), no. 1, 59-74. She graduated with an undergraduate degree in mathematics from National Taiwan University in 1977. Shaw received her Ph.D. from Princeton University four years later in 1981, working with Joseph Kohn.{{MathGenealogy|id=22628|title=Mei-Chi Shaw}} She then 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.
Awards and honors
In 2012, Shaw became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[https://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society] For 2019 she received the Stefan Bergman Prize.[https://www.ams.org/news?news_id=5845 Stefan Bergman Prize 2019]
