Zhongkai Tao, Mathematician

Junior Professor in Mathematics since 2025

Zhongkai Tao has a strong interest in analysis, particularly in spectral theory and microlocal analysis. He has also worked on problems arising from general relativity, condensed matter physics, and hyperbolic dynamical systems.

After studying at Xi’an Jiaotong University, he earned his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of Maciej Zworski.

He looks forward to taking advantage of IHES’s proximity to Paris, a city that has played a major role in the development of microlocal analysis and which he describes as “a great place to learn different areas of math”.
