谢晓亮 博士是哈佛大学教授，单分子酶学（Single Molecule Enzymology）的奠基人之一，大幅发展改良了单分子荧光显微镜（Single Molecule Microscopy）技术。谢晓亮教授对coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy （CARS Microscopy 相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射显微镜）以及stimulated Raman scattering microscopy（SRS Microscopy 受激拉曼散射显微镜），做出了创造性的巨大贡献。他是美国国家科学院与医学院院士,美国文理科学院院士.

Dr. Yitang “Tom” Zhang

张益唐博士

Rolf Schock Prize Laureate in Mathematics (2014)

2014 年获瑞典皇家科学院罗夫·肖克数学奖

Dr. Zhang is a Professor of mathematics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He established the first finite bound on gaps between prime numbers. This work led to a 2014 MacArthur award. Dr. Zhang’s other awards include the 2013 Morningside Special Achievement Award in Mathematics, the 2013 Ostrowski Prize, the 2014 Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Number Theory, and the 2014 Rolf Schock Prize in Mathematics. He was elected as an Academia Sinica Fellow in 2014.

张益唐博士是中研院院士，加利福尼亚大学圣巴巴拉分校数学教授。2013年5月，张益唐在孪生素数研究方面取得突破性进展，他证明了孪生素数猜想的一个弱化形式。张益唐在不依赖未经证明推论的前提下，发现存在无穷多差小于7000万的素数对，他的突破性方法引发全球数学界学习并大幅推进了这一数论领域研究。张博士因此获得2014年麦克阿瑟天才奖，2013年晨兴数学卓越成就奖和Ostrowski奖，2014年美国数学学会柯尔数论奖等。
