Jiaqiang Wen is currently an Assistant Professor/Associate Researcher, doctoral supervisor, PI. His primary research areas include stochastic analysis, stochastic control, and financial mathematics, with a focus on the theory of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with applications in stochastic optimal control, partial differential equations, and financial mathematics. He earned his Ph.D. from the School of Mathematics at Shandong University in June 2018. From December 2016 to December 2017, he participated in a joint doctoral training program at the University of Central Florida, USA. Between March and September 2018, he worked as a research assistant at the Department of Mathematics at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. From September 2018 to September 2020, he conducted postdoctoral research at the Department of Mathematics at Southern University of Science and Technology. He then served as an Visiting Assistant Professor in the same department from September 2020 to June 2023. Since July 2023, he has held a joint appointment as an Assistant Professor at both the Department of Mathematics and the Shenzhen International Mathematics Center. He has received honors including the Guangdong Provincial Outstanding Youth Science Fund, Shenzhen Overseas High-Level Talent Program, the Excellent Teaching Award at SUSTech, and first place in teaching competitions.
