I work on numerical partial differential equations and structure-preserving/compatible discretizations. Most of my current work is on finite element exterior calculus (FEEC). I am interested in its interactions with neighbouring areas, such as discrete differential geometry and topology, geometric mechanics, discrete physics, network theory, and applications in scientific problems, such as continuum mechanics, topological hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, numerical relativity and geometric PDEs.
Kaibo Hu obtained PhD at Peking University in 2017. He had postdoctoral positions at the University of Oslo (2017-2018) and University of Minnesota(2018-2020). He was a Hooke Research Fellow, and later a Royal Society University Research Fellow at University of Oxford (Mathematical Institute & Christ Church) from 2021 to 2023. Before moving back to Oxford in 2025, he was a Reader at School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh, and Maxwell Institute.
