Wang Gengsheng

Personal Profile 

Wang Gengsheng was born on March 3, 1962, in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. In 1979, he was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Wuhan University, where he received his Bachelor's degree in 1983 and Master's degree in 1986. After graduating, he taught at the Wuhan Air Force Radar Academy. In July 1989, he went to the United States for further study and obtained his Ph.D. from Ohio University in June 1994. In January 1996, he returned to China and taught at Central China Normal University, Wuhan University, and Tianjin University.
