Hong Wang Awarded Ostrowski Prize, Salem Prize, and ICCM Gold Medal of Mathematics

November 24, 2025

Hong Wang, Professor of Mathematics, has received three notable recent prizes for her contributions to harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory. 

She has received the 2025 Ostrowski Prize, awarded "every other year to a mathematician or to a group of scientists who have produced the best result in the field of pure mathematics or in the foundations of numerical mathematics." You can read the full citation here.

Professor Wang was also awarded the 2025 Salem Prize by the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University. The prize recognizes a young mathematician who is judged to have done outstanding work on harmonic analysis and related topics. Professor Wang received this year's award "for her role in solutions to major open problems in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory."

Finally, Professor Wang received the 2025 ICCM Gold Medal of Mathematics, given by the International Consortium of Chinese Mathematicians in recognition of "outstanding mathematicians of Chinese descent under the age of 45 for their achievements in the research of pure and applied mathematics, and for their great contributions to the development of mathematics."
