Xiaoying (Maggie) Han is a Chinese mathematician whose research concerns random dynamical systems, stochastic differential equations, and actuarial science. She was the Marguerite Scharnagle Endowed Professor in Mathematics at Auburn University from 2018 until 2020.[1]

Education and career

Han graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2001. She completed her Ph.D. in 2007 at the University at Buffalo.[1] Her dissertation, Interlayer Mixing in Thin Film Growth, was supervised by Brian J. Spencer.[2] She joined the Auburn faculty in 2007. She was promoted to full professor in 2017. She was given the Marguerite Scharnagle Endowed Professorship in 2018, which she held until 2020.[1] Han was named a Fulbright Scholar in 2020, but the Fulbright program shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, and she was unable to use it for the planned trip to Brazil.[3][4]

In 2022, Han was appointed acting deputy associate dean for Academic Affairs in the College of Sciences and Mathematics at Auburn.[5] In 2023, Han became the permanent associate dean for Academic Affairs.[6]

Awards and honors

In 2015, Han was awarded the 2015–2017 Jack B. Brown Endowed Faculty Award.[7]

Books

Han is the co-author of three books:

  • Applied Nonautonomous and Random Dynamical Systems (with T. Caraballo, Springer, 2016)[8]
  • Attractors Under Discretisation (with P. E. Kloeden, Springer, 2017)[9]
  • Random Ordinary Differential Equations and Their Numerical Solution (with P. E. Kloeden, Springer, 2017)[10]
