Zhuang Xiaowei
Zhuang Xiaowei won the MacArthur Foundation Genius Award in 2003, and was the first female scientist in China in the history of MacArthur Foundation. At the age of 34, he became a double professor in the Department of Chemistry and Physics of Harvard University. Zhuang Xiaowei used the improved fluorescence spectrum to study single molecules, thus revealing complex biological processes. In 2003, she used this method to study how influenza and HIV invaded the host cells, which helped to develop methods to treat viral diseases.
Terence Tao
In 2006, the only China winner of the MacArthur Foundation Genius Award was a gifted mathematician, and Tao Zhexuan was the only China winner. This is Tao Zhexuan's second prize in a month. At the 25th International Congress of Mathematicians held on August 22nd, he won the Fields Prize (commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Mathematics), the highest honor in mathematics. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation praised Tao Zhexuan's research, which involved many fields such as harmonic analysis, partial differential, combinatorial mathematics and number theory, and provided proof for many long-term conjectures in mathematics. His research has also created new thinking for many fields, which has a great impact on the future development of these fields.
