It is presented annually to individuals aged 32 and below, who made outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics.
What is the contribution of Yunqing Tang to Mathematics?
Her works display a remarkable combination of sophisticated techniques, in which the arithmetic and geometry of modular curves and of Shimura varieties play a central role. Her results and methods are bound to have a major impact on future research in this area.
Her most recent joint work with Frank Calegari and Vesselin Dimitrov on modular equations is of great significance and also has ties with Ramanujan’s own work
