Hi, I'm Glen Wheeler.

I’m a mathematician currently based at the University of Wollongong in Australia. I love geometry and analysis, and have a wide range of interests that combine these two passions. My PhD work was on fourth-order geometric evolution equations. After my PhD, I was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship to be taken at the Otto von Guericke Universitaet Magdeburg, with Prof. Dr. Hans-Christoph Grunau. After this, I started at the University of Wollongong. I have been awarded an ARC Discovery Project, a biennial Peter Schwerdtfeger award, and an AustMS Early Career Teaching Excellence award.
Since my PhD work, my interests have expanded to include (the numbers in brackets refer to papers or preprints in my list of publications):
- Curve and surface diffusion ([14], [22], [44], [45], [49])
- Families of fourth order flows ([21], [42], [43], [47])
- Elastic, Willmore and Helfrich ([5], [8], [18], [19], [28], [29], [30], [32], [48], [53])
- Fire, crystals, and biomembranes ([3], [10], [11], [12], [15], [36], [39], [55], [56])
- Chen’s conjecture and flow ([4], [7], [40], [46])
- Flows of arbitrary order ([17], [25], [26], [34], [35])
- Second-order flows ([1], [13], [50], [51], [52])
- Ideal flow ([2], [20], [23], [27])
- Entropy flow [33]
- Sobolev curvature flow ([31], [38])
