Research

Dr. Jin's research interest includes geometric analysis and elliptic type partial differential equations. For geometric analysis, Dr. Jin is mainly interested in the partial differential equations and systems arise from the investigation of geometry problems such as the harmonic maps, prescribing curvatures on a Riemannian manfiold. For elliptic partial differential equations, Dr. Jin mainly is interested in the equations for capillary surfaces, minimal surfaces, properties of solutions for semilinear and quasilinear elliptic equations.
