Weizhu Bao
Chinese mathematician
Weizhu Bao (Chinese: 包维柱; born 1 September 1969) is a Chinese mathematician at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He is known for his work in applied mathematics with applications in quantum physics and chemistry and materials science, especially Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) and highly oscillatory partial differential equations.
Biography
Bao was born in Xunyang, Shaanxi, China. He completed his undergraduate studies in the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University in 1992 and obtained his master's degree and Ph.D. degree under the advice of Houde Han in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Tsinghua University in 1995. He was subsequently a faculty member at Tsinghua University (1995–2000) with various visiting positions at Imperial College (1996–1997), Georgia Institute of Technology (1998–2000) and University of Wisconsin at Madison (September–December 2000) during the period. He joined the National University of Singapore as an assistant professor in 2001 and became a full professor in 2009.
Contributions
Bao has made contributions to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), multiscale methods, computational quantum physics and chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, and computational materials science. In the study of BEC, he and collaborators have established mathematical theory and proposed efficient and accurate computational methods. For highly oscillatory partial differential equations, he and collaborators have developed the uniformly accurate multiscale time integrator method. For solid-state dewetting, he and collaborators have derived sharp interface and phase field models.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Weizhu Bao”, the useful work is to connect “chinese mathematician” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30529406. VIAF identifies the subject as 41368837. The Library of Congress control number is nb2007023611. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1992, 1995 and 2000.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
