Cuban Sciences Academy Awards Prize for Regenerative Medicine Research<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAt the opening ceremony of the congress, held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the International Mathematical Union announced that Deng won the medal for his work in partial differential equations (PDEs), while Wang won the medal for her work in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great honor to have my name listed after all those great mathematicians I\u2019ve been always admiring. It\u2019s a really important recognition of myself, of my work, my work with collaborators, and the field of PDEs and also the probability that I\u2019m representing,\u201d Deng said at a press conference after the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRoughly speaking, what I have been doing with collaborators is basically to connect the microscopic description of things, of the universe to the macroscopic description,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt means a lot to me and also to my other collaborators,\u201d Wang said. She recalled learning the news that Terence Tao got the Fields Medal when she was a high school student. \u201cI was quite excited (then). So I\u2019m also excited today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wang works in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory. \u201cA problem that lies in the two fields is the Kakeya conjecture \u2026 I do feel like I\u2019m combining the previous two fields\u2019 methods,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am truly delighted for Dr. Deng and Dr. Wang, and I warmly congratulate both of them. The essential part of both laureates\u2019 education was completed in China. Their remarkable achievement is a powerful recognition of China\u2019s fundamental and rapidly growing role in the world of mathematics,\u201d Fields Medal laureate Efim Zelmanov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deng first studied at Peking University before transferring to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and received his Ph.D. from Princeton University. Wang got her bachelor\u2019s at Peking University, a master\u2019s degree from Paris-Saclay University and a Ph.D. from the MIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deng is a professor at the University of Chicago. Wang is a professor at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques in France and the Courant Institute at New York University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are altogether four Fields Medal laureates this year. The other two are John Pardon, a U.S. mathematician at Stony Brook University; and Jacob Tsimerman, a Canadian mathematician at the University of Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Fields Medal is a top international mathematics prize awarded every four years to two to four young researchers under the age of 40 in recognition of their outstanding mathematical achievements in existing work and their promise of future achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
