Dr. Han received his B.S. and first Ph.D. in pure mathematics from Shandong University, China in 2008, and his second Ph.D. in theoretic applied mathematics from Houston in 2012 under the guidance of Professor James Giles Auchmuty, who was a tenured professor of mathematics at Indiana University Bloomington, a fellow of the Australian Mathematical Society, and a former member of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) at Princeton University.
Dr. Han, prior to A&M-SA, held a 3-year postdoctoral scholar position at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In addition, he had visiting experiences at Yamagata University, Japan (Aug 2006~Aug 2007); the Fields Institute at University of Toronto, Canada (Nov 2008); the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications at University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (May~Jun 2014); and Purdue University (Jun 2015).
Dr. Han considers himself an entry-level mathematics researcher, believes the beauty of mathematics as the creation of God and enjoys learning mathematics, and now is interested in analysis and optimal control of partial differential equations, and Diophantine approximation and Nevanlinna theory.
Dr. Han is frequently invited as an anonymous referee for internationally well-recognized scientific journals, and has been serving as an appointed reviewer for the American Mathematical Society, MathSciNet since Oct 2013 with a number of important work assigned and reviewed. He has regularly presented research at the American Mathematical Society meetings, and currently serves as a member of the Texas Differential Equations Conference organizing committee. The Texas Differential Equations Conference 2022 is hosted at Texas A&M University, College Station on Oct 1-2, 2022 (https://sites.google.com/view/shichihan/)
Dr. Han has taught a wide range of courses in the U.S. including finite mathematics, college algebra, college algebra corequisite model, business algebra, business calculus, pre-calculus, the entire calculus series, mathematical structures and proofs, ordinary differential equations, linear algebra and matrices, discrete mathematics, real analysis, complex analysis, probability, statistics (both introductory and advanced), abstract algebra, and calculus of variations.
Dr. Han uses Jesus Christ as the model in his teaching to serve students, and believes everyone can learn some mathematics. He is devoted to the inspiration and interaction with students for their appreciation of the distinctive beauty of mathematics, particularly interested in mentoring undergraduate projects that lead to good research work such as published in Involve.
Dr. Han serves in several A&M-SA capacities including as the MATH1314: College Algebra coordinator before Fall 2020 and the interim Mathematics Program coordinator in Fall 2020, as well as a member of four Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) committees on Quantitative Reasoning (QR).
Dr. Han is married to Dr. Jingbo Liu (who is a mathematics researcher in algebra and number theory, and is a long-term collaborator in providing a good-quality education to our students), and currently they have one lovely daughter Jacquelyn https://apps.tamusa.edu/course-information/Profile/Faculty/394?=Jingbo-Liu Dr. Liu and Dr. Han are both the first generation college students (and blessed the first generation Ph.D.s) in their families.
