Zhiwei Yun was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province in 1982. In 2000, he got a gold medal in the 41st International Mathematical Olympiad. He received a bachelor’s degree from Peking University in 2004 and a Ph.D. degree from Princeton University under the supervision of Robert MacPherson (professor at the IAS). From 2012 to 2017, he held faculty positions at Stanford University and Yale University. He joined the MIT faculty as a full professor in 2018. Zhiwei Yun’s research is at the intersection of algebraic geometry, representation theory and number theory in pure mathematics. He is particularly interested in the application of geometric methods in representation theory and number theory. In 2012 he received the SASTRA Ramanujan prize. He received the 2018 New Horizons Prize in mathematics, and the ICCM gold medal in 2019. He was an invited speaker at the ICM in 2018 and became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2019.

Jilin Zhou, professor of School of Astronomy and Space Science, Nanjing University. His research field is exoplanet formation, detection and dynamics. He proposed and leads the construction of the time domain observatory, Nanjing University. His group found more than 100 exoplanet candidates in the survey of Antarctic, which is the first time in the world in Antarctic region. He got the younger outstanding funding from NSFC in 2009.

Xiaodong Zou is a full professor, head of Inorganic and Structural Chemistry Division, and deputy head of the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, Stockholm University. She received her B.Sc. in physics at Peking University in 1984, M. Sc. in metal physics at Beijing University of Science and Technology 1986 and Ph.D. in structural chemistry at Stockholm University in 1995. After a one-year postdoc at Lund University in Sweden, she joined the faculty at Stockholm University in 1996 as an assistant professor, and became professor in structural chemistry 2005. Prof. Zou’s research interests have been developments of electron crystallographic methods and design of novel porous materials. She is one of the pioneers in establishing electron crystallography as an important technique for accurate atomic structure determination of unknown 3D crystals, which revolutionized the structural analysis of new materials. Her group has demonstrated the power of electron crystallography in studying complex structures including zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, pharmaceuticals and proteins. Prof. Zou has also made key contributions in design, synthesis and applications of novel porous materials. In 2006, she received 100 MSEK from the Swedish Research Council (VR) and Sweden’s Innovation Agency VINNOVA and built up the Berzelii Center EXSELENT on Porous Materials at Stockholm University and was the director 2006-2012. She has co-authored > 325 peer-reviewed publications, and given more than 200 invited talks. Prof. Zou received several prestigious awards including Tage Erlander Prize for Science and Technology 2002 and Göran Gustafsson Prize in Chemistry 2008, both given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and the Arrhenius-plaketten 2012 given by the Swedish Chemical Society. She is also a distinguished professor of the Swedish Research Council and a Wallenberg Scholar. She is an Fellow of the Royal Chemical Society, council member of the International Zeolite Association, elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences), elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, and the member of Nobel Committee in Chemistry.
