Loring W. Tu (杜武亮, Wade–Giles: Tu Wu-liang) is a Taiwanese-American mathematician working in algebraic topology and geometry.
Life
He was born in Taipei, Taiwan. He is the grandson of Taiwanese pharmacologist Tu Tsung-ming, founder of Taiwan's first private medical school (now Kaohsiung Medical University). He is a younger brother of Charles Tu, who is a professor of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) at the University of California, San Diego.
He has been working at Tufts University since 1986, and plans to retire after 2025. On November 12, 2024, Tufts University announced that Tu will gift the university and rename the Science and Engineering Complex as the Tsungming Tu Complex in honor of Loring's late grandfather.
Career
He attended McGill University and Princeton University as an undergraduate. He completed his Ph.D. at Harvard University. His doctoral advisor was Phillip A. Griffiths. His dissertation thesis was titled Hodge Theory and the Local Torelli Problem.
He is currently a professor of mathematics at Tufts University.
He has frequently collaborated with Raoul Bott.
