Zhang Wei 198 1 was born in Tiancheng Town, Dazhu County, Dazhou City, Sichuan Province. He is a Chinese-American mathematician, a member of the American Academy of Arts and a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

198 1 year, Zhang Wei was born in Tiancheng Town, Dazhu County, Dazhou City, Sichuan Province. Zhang Wei studied in the village primary school for the first four years, and transferred to Tiancheng Township Primary School in Dazhu County in the fifth grade. 1994, graduated from primary school and was admitted to Dazhu Middle School. 1997 won the first prize in the national mathematics competition, and recommended himself to be admitted to the seventh middle school in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

In 2000, I graduated from No.7 Middle School in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and was sent to the Department of Mathematics in Peking University. In 2004, he received a Bachelor of Science degree from Peking University. From August 2004 to June 2009, I studied at Columbia University, studied under Zhang Shouwu, and graduated with a doctorate.

From July 20, 2009 to June 0, 2009, he conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University. July 20 10 to June 20 1 10, BenjaminPeirce, a researcher at Harvard University. July 2065438+01—July 2065438+February 2003, served as an assistant professor at Columbia University. From October 20 14 to June 20 15, he served as an associate professor at Columbia University. From July 20 15 to June 20 17, he was a professor at Columbia University. 2065438+Professor of MIT in July 2007.

Zhang Wei's main achievements

In 2005, Zhang Wei began to study Kudala conjecture. At the end of 2005, he not only understood the meaning of this conjecture, but also found an original proof method, and conditionally popularized the result of R. E.Borcherds (Kudala conjecture with codimension 1) in his doctoral thesis, and basically proved Kudala conjecture because of this process.

Zhang Wei cooperated with Zhang Shouwu and Yuan Xinyi to establish the simulation of Val Polge formula in arithmetic algebraic geometry, and the results were published in the Princeton Yearbook of Mathematical Research in the form of a book. Zhang Wei and Yun Zhiwei discovered and proved the higher-order Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture in the function domain. They found that the proved formula is related to three of the seven Millennium problems (Hodge conjecture, Riemann hypothesis and BSD conjecture).
