Wei Dongyi (Chinese: 韦东奕; pinyin: Wéi Dōngyi; born 1992 in Jinan, Shandong) is a Chinese mathematician who is currently serving as associate professor and assistant researcher at the School of Mathematical Science in Peking University.
He has attracted attention on Chinese social media for his simple living style.[2][3] In 2021, he was called Peking University's "ugliest teacher" due to his unkempt appearance.[4]
Wei Dongyi graduated from Attached Senior School of Shandong Normal University and began studying at Peking University in 2010, then earned his bachelor's degree in 2014 and PhD in 2018 under Tian Gang as his doctoral advisor. His research field includes partial differential equations and differential geometry.
In December 2019, Wei completed his post-doctoral work and became an assistant professor in the Mathematics Department of Peking University.[5] In November 2025, he became an associate professor of the university.
