[2] In 2005, he earned his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with the thesis Some subvarieties of the De Concini-Procesi compactification under advisor George Lusztig.
[3] As a postdoc research fellow, He was at the Institute for Advanced Study for the academic year 2005–2006[4] and Simons Instructor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook from 2006 to 2008.
Xuhua He’s research area is algebraic groups, representation theory, and arithmetic geometry.
He is particularly interested in questions related to (finite and affine) Weyl groups and flag varieties, and their applications to arithmetic geometry and representation theory.
[2] In 2018, in Rio de Janeiro he was an invited speaker with talk Some results on affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties at the International Congress of Mathematicians.
