Yau was born in Shantou, Guangdong Province, China with Hakka ancestry in Jiaoling, Guangdong in a family of eight children. When he was only a few months old, his family emigrated to Hong Kong, where they lived first in Yuen Long and then 5 years later in Shatin. When Yau was fourteen, his father Chiou Chenying, a philosophy professor, died.

Shing-Tung Yau - Existence of Canonical Metrics on Non-Kähler Geometry (September 9, 2020)
In this lecture, Shing-Tung Yau will give a survey on the existence of canonical balanced metrics on non-Kähler complex manifolds through the Hull-Strominger system, which was motivated by string theory on compactifications. He will discuss works by Jun Li of Fudan University in Shanghai, Ji-Xiang Fu of Fudan University, Ivan Smith of the University of Cambridge, Richard P. Thomas of Imperial College London, Tristan C. Collins of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, French mathematician Émile Picard, Teng Fei of Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey, Adam Jacob of the University of California, Davis, and Duong H. Phong of Columbia University. More details: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/event/existence-of-canonical-metrics-on-non-kahler-geometry/
