From April 17 to 20, 2026, the 16th Conference on Computational Mathematics of the Chinese Mathematical Society was held in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. During the conference, the 5th “Wu Wenjun Young Scholar Award in Computational Mathematics” was presented. Associate Professor Li Nan from our institute received the award for his outstanding contributions to research in symbolic-numerical hybrid computation and the application of computational mathematics in 3D vision. He shared the award with Associate Professor Tang Xiaoxuan from Beihang University.

The field of mathematical mechanization pioneered by Mr. Wu Wenjun, a renowned Chinese mathematician and recipient of the first National Top Science and Technology Award, has had a profound impact on mathematical and computer science research. To recognize outstanding young scholars in the field of computational mathematics and to promote the development of mathematical mechanization as advocated by Mr. Wu Wenjun, the Institute of Systems Science at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, established the “Wu Wenjun Young Scholar Award in Computational Mathematics” and entrusted the Computational Mathematics Committee of the Chinese Mathematical Society with the responsibility of conducting the award selection process.

Li Nan, a tenured associate professor and doctoral advisor at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Shenzhen University, and a Guangdong Provincial High-Level Talent, specializes in research on symbolic-numerical hybrid computation and its applications. He has published over 20 papers in international academic journals such as Math. Comput., SIAM J. Numer. Anal., J. Symb. Comput., IEEE Trans. Image Process., and IEEE Trans. Multimedia.
