主讲人简介：

 

张益唐，著名数学家，1982年毕业于北京大学数学系，1984年获北京大学数学硕士学位，1992年获美国普渡大学博士学位。曾于新罕布夏大学数学系任教，现任加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校数学系教授。

 

张益唐教授主要研究方向为解析数论。2013年5月，张益唐教授在《数学年刊》发表《素数之间的有界距离》，证明了“存在无穷多差小于7000万的相邻素数对”，在孪生素数猜想的研究上取得了重大突破。《自然》杂志在网上以“突破性消息”为标题快速通报了这一成果。由于在数论领域的的杰出成就，张益唐教授先后于2013年获得晨兴数学杰出成就奖、Ostrowski奖， 2014年获得美国数学会Cole数论奖、Rolf Schock数学奖、美国MacArthur天才奖和求是杰出科学奖等著名奖项，并受邀在2014年国际数学家大会作一小时压轴大会报告。

 

Brief Introduction of Professor Zhang Yitang

 

Yitang Zhang is a famous mathematician working in the area of number theory. He received his B.Sc. Degree in mathematics in 1982 and obtained his M.Sc. degree as a graduate student of Professor Pan Chengbiao in 1984 at Peking University. In 1992 he obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics at Purdue University. He worked at University of New Hampshire from 1999 to 2014 and now he is a professor at University of California, Santa Barbara.

 

Professor Zhang’s main research interests is prime numbers and analytic number theory. In 2013 he published the paper “Bounded Gaps Between Primes” on Annals of Mathematics, in which he proved that there are infinite many pairs of prim numbers that differ by 70 million or less, thus making a great breakthrough on the twin prime conjecture. Due to his outstanding work in mathematics, he was awarded the 2013 Morningside Special Achievement Award in Mathematics, the 2013 Ostrowski Prize, the 2014 Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Number Theory and the 2014 Rolf Schock Prize in Mathematics. He is also a recipient of the 2014 MacArthur award, and was elected as an Academia Sinica Fellow during the same year. He was invited to give one hour final plenary lecture at the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians.
