Speaker Bio:

Professor Rongjie Lai is a leading figure in applied and computational mathematics, currently a professor at Purdue University. His research develops mathematical and computational frameworks for imaging, data science, geometric learning, and analysis of manifold-structured data, with broad impact in variational PDEs, optimization, and machine learning. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed works with significant citations in areas spanning operator learning, mean-field games, and geometric methods. Prof. Lai’s contributions have been supported by major grants, including a National Science Foundation CAREER Award recognizing his work on geometry and learning for manifold-structured data, as well as funding from NSF’s SCALE MoDL program and NIH-sponsored projects, and collaborations with industry research (e.g., IBM AI Research). His work has been invited to major seminars and conference sessions that highlight advances in computational mathematics and geometric approaches to data science.
