Zhu Xiping

Zhu Xiping Chinese  朱熹 平 , Pinyin Zhū ​​Xīpíng , W.-G. Chu Hsi-p`ing ; (Born June 7, 1962 ) is a Chinese mathematician who studies differential geometry .

Zhu graduated from Sun Yat-sen University (Guangdong) ( Bachelor's degree in 1982, Master's degree in 1984) and received his doctorate in 1989 from the Wuhan Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences . He is a professor at Sun Yat-sen University and director of the Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science there. He is currently also at Harvard University .

Zhu was with Cao Huaidong part of one of the three teams that reviewed, worked out and completed Grigori Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture . Cao and Zhu were the first to publish the proof in an international mathematics journal.

In 2004 he received the Morningside Medal in silver at the 3rd International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM) , and in 2016 the Chern Prize .
