About Chuu Lian Terng
- Chuu-Lian Terng (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Téng Chulián) is a Taiwanese-American mathematician.
- She received her B.S.
- from National Taiwan University in 1971 and her Ph.D.
- from Brandeis University in 1976 under the supervision of Richard Palais, whom she later married.
- She is currently a professor at University of California at Irvine. She was a professor at Northeastern University for many years.
- Before joining Northeastern, she spent two years at the University of California, Berkeley and four years at Princeton University.
- She also spent two years at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton and two years at the Max-Planck Institute in Bonn, Germany. In 1999, her Association for Women in Mathematics Falconer lecture citation reads: Her early research concerned the classification of natural vector bundles and natural differential operators between them.
- She then became interested in submanifold geometry.
- Her main contributions are developing a structure theory for isoparametric submanifolds in Rn and constructing soliton equations from special submanifolds.
- Recently, Terng and Karen Uhlenbeck (University of Texas at Austin) have developed a general approach to integrable PDEs that explains their hidden symmetries in terms of loop group actions.
- She is co-author of the book Submanifold Geometry and Critical Point Theory and an editor of the Journal of Differential Geometry survey volume 4 on "Integrable systems". Professor Terng served as President of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) from 1995 to 1997 and as Member-at-Large of the Council of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) from 1989 to 1992.
