Mei-Chi Shaw

Mei-Chi Shaw (born 1955) is a professor of mathematics at the University of Notre Dame. Her research concerns partial differential equations.

Life and career
Shaw was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1955. She graduated with an undergraduate degree in mathematics from National Taiwan University in 1977. Shaw received her PhD from Princeton University four years later in 1981, working with Joseph Kohn. She then took a postdoctoral position at Purdue University During this time, she married her husband, Hsueh-Chia Chang. In 1983, Shaw took a tenure-track position at Texas A&M University, moving to University of Houston in 1986 and finally relocating to the University of Notre Dame in 1987, first as an associate professor and then as full professor.

Awards and honors
In 2012, Shaw became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. For 2019 she received the Stefan Bergman Prize.
