The 2022 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize will be awarded toYunqing Tang, an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who has been described as “one of the best young number theorists to emerge in recent years worldwide.”
Yunqing Tang
Tang will be honored for “having established, by herself and in collaboration, a number of striking results on some central problems in arithmetic geometry and number theory,” the prize citation notes. “… Her works display a remarkable combination of sophisticated techniques, in which the arithmetic and geometry of modular curves and of Shimura varieties play a central role, and have strong links with the discoveries of Srinivasa Ramanujan in the area of modular equations.”
Tang earned her PhD from Harvard University in 2016under supervision of Mark Kisin. A native of China, she has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ; a junior researcher(chargée de recherche)at CNRS/Université Paris-Sud; and an instructor and assistant professor at Princeton University. “She is one of the deepest and most creative mathematicians of her age, and her wide ranging contributions are bound to have impact in the decades ahead,” the citation notes.
The annual $10,000 prize is for outstanding contributions by individuals not exceeding the age of 32 in areas of mathematics influenced by Srinivasa Ramanujan in a broad sense. “The age limit has been set at 32 because Ramanujan achieved so much in his brief life of 32 years,” according to the citation. The prize will be awarded at an international conference in number theory during December 20-22, 2022, at SASTRA University in Kumbakonam, India(Ramanujan's hometown).
The 2022 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize Committee consisted of Krishnaswami Alladi, chair(University of Florida), Don Blasius(University of California, Los Angeles), Dan Goldston(San Jose State University), Ken Ono(University of Virginia), Jonathan Pila(Oxford University), Zeev Rudnick(Tel Aviv University), and Cam Stewart(University of Waterloo).

该奖项将于2022年12月20至22日在印度贡伯戈讷姆(拉马努金故乡)的Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy(SASTRA)举行的国际数论会议上颁发。
