Prof. Dr. Xin Wu | Celestial Mechanics | Best Researcher Award

Prof. Dr. Xin Wu, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, China

Professor Xin Wu is a distinguished scholar in the fields of Astronomy and Physics, currently serving at Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Guangxi University, and Nanchang University in China. He earned his Ph.D. in Astronomy from Nanjing University in 2003 and has since established a strong academic presence with a focus on relativistic celestial mechanics. Professor Wu has authored over 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers in prestigious journals such as The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, The Astrophysical Journal, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Physical Review D, Eur. Phys. J. C, Physics Letters B, Classical and Quantum Gravity, and Universe. His notable research contributions include the development of geometric numerical integration methods—such as symplectic integrators, manifold correction schemes, and energy-preserving methods—in relativistic systems, as well as advancements in post-Newtonian theory. These include the construction of canonical spin variables in spinning-body Hamiltonians, establishing the relationship between post-Newtonian Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations, and formulating coherent equations of motion. His work also explores chaotic dynamics in relativistic astrophysics, gravitational wave physics, and the study of black hole shadows.
