芝加哥大学邓煜教授荣获第19届“世界杰出华人奖”
芝加哥——位于伊利诺伊州库克县的芝加哥市，10月18日上午，世界华商投资基金会在芝加哥中国城万濠酒楼举行颁奖仪式，向芝加哥大学数学系教授邓煜颁发第19届“世界杰出华人奖”，表彰他在数学领域的开创性贡献。仪式上，主办方代表庄佩源为邓煜颁授奖牌与奖杯。据芝加哥侨学网报道，伊利诺伊州众议员马静仪、大芝加哥地区华侨华人联合会（华联会）主席黄正东等侨界人士出席了当天的仪式。
“世界杰出华人奖”由世界华商投资基金会主办，旨在表彰全球华人在各专业领域的卓越表现。据当地侨界媒体报道，主办方代表庄佩源在仪式上致辞，称邓煜“年轻有为，是全球华人的骄傲”。
邓煜1989年出生，祖籍河南开封，在深圳长大，就读于深圳高级中学，2006年获国际数学奥林匹克金牌。他2007年进入北京大学，其后转入麻省理工学院，2015年在普林斯顿大学获博士学位，历任纽约大学柯朗数学科学研究所博士后、南加州大学教职，2024年起任芝加哥大学数学系教授，研究方向为偏微分方程、概率与数学物理。
今年7月23日，邓煜在费城举行的国际数学家大会开幕式上获颁菲尔兹奖。该奖由国际数学联盟每四年颁发一次，授予40岁以下数学家，被誉为“数学界的诺贝尔奖”。本届四位得主中，邓煜与纽约大学教授王虹均为中国籍——这是中国籍数学家首次获得菲尔兹奖；此前获奖的华人数学家有1982年的丘成桐与陶哲轩。邓煜与王虹同为北京大学2007级校友，本站已于7月23日报道两人获奖消息。
国际数学联盟的颁奖词指出，邓煜在偏微分方程领域作出三项主要贡献：与合作者从硬球动力学严格推导出稀薄气体的玻尔兹曼方程，为提出已125年的希尔伯特第六问题带来重大进展；从非线性色散系统推导出波动力学方程；以及发展非线性薛定谔动力学的概率方法。

UChicago Mathematician Yu Deng Receives the 19th World Outstanding Chinese Award in Chicago
CHICAGO — Chicago is a city in Cook County, Illinois. On the morning of Oct. 18, the World Chinese Business Investment Foundation presented the 19th World Outstanding Chinese Award to Yu Deng, a professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago, at a ceremony at the Wan Hao Restaurant in Chicago's Chinatown, honoring his pioneering contributions to mathematics. At the ceremony, Chester Chong, a representative of the organizer, presented Deng with the award plaque and trophy. According to Chicago Chinese-language community media, Illinois State Representative Theresa Mah and Huang Zhengdong, chairman of the Chinese American Association of Greater Chicago, were among the community leaders in attendance.
The World Outstanding Chinese Award, organized by the World Chinese Business Investment Foundation, recognizes outstanding achievements by Chinese professionals around the world. Local community media reported that Chester Chong, a representative of the organizer, said at the ceremony that Deng is "a young achiever and a pride of Chinese people worldwide."
Born in 1989 to a family from Kaifeng, Henan, Deng grew up in Shenzhen, attended Shenzhen Senior High School, and won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2006. He entered Peking University in 2007 before transferring to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earned his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2015, held a postdoctoral position at New York University's Courant Institute and a faculty post at the University of Southern California, and joined the University of Chicago's mathematics department in 2024. His research focuses on partial differential equations, probability, and mathematical physics.
On July 23 this year, Deng received the Fields Medal at the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia. Awarded by the International Mathematical Union every four years to mathematicians under 40, the medal is widely regarded as the "Nobel Prize of mathematics." Of this year's four medalists, Deng and New York University professor Hong Wang are both Chinese nationals — the first time Chinese nationals have won the Fields Medal; earlier medalists of Chinese descent include Shing-Tung Yau (1982) and Terence Tao. Deng and Wang both entered Peking University in 2007, a milestone GSM reported on July 23.
According to the IMU citation, Deng was honored for three contributions in partial differential equations: with collaborators, rigorously deriving the Boltzmann equation for rarefied gases from hard-sphere dynamics, a major advance on Hilbert's sixth problem, posed 125 years ago; deriving wave kinetic equations from nonlinear dispersive systems; and developing probabilistic approaches to nonlinear Schrödinger dynamics.
