2021年3月,国际组合学及其应用协会(Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications,ICA)公布了该协会2020年度的各奖项,我校数学科学学院马杰教授荣获2020年度Hall奖。
国际组合学及其应用协会(ICA)成立于1990,该组织从1993年开始每年颁发Euler奖、Hall奖和Kirkman奖三种奖项,其中Euler奖是终身成就奖,Hall奖和Kirkman奖分别授予年龄不超过40岁和博士毕业不超过四年的杰出青年学者。2016年起又设立了Stanton奖,是面向ICA成员的终身教育成就奖。ICA现任主席是Douglas R. Stinson(加拿大科学院院士、1994年度Hall奖获得者)。
因其在极值概率图论和结构图论所取得的成果,马杰教授获得了2020年度Hall奖。以下是ICA协会的颁奖词:
2020 Hall Medal awarded to Jie Ma
Jie Ma has made outstanding contributions in the fields of extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, and structural graph theory. He obtained several important results in the study of hypergraph Turan numbers, and proved several conjectures on the distribution of cycle lengths in graphs. He solved, or asymptotically solved, several open problems by Bollobas and Scott on judicial partitions of graphs and hypergraphs, which is a “very strong, impressive record”. Using “sophisticated arguments and novel tools”, he has made breakthroughs on several other difficult, longstanding problems of structural and extremal flavour.
Dr. Ma has published over thirty papers in the most prestigious combinatorial journals. He is a frequent speaker at national and international conferences, and a member of recognized editorial boards.
迄今为止,我国有3位学者获得ICA颁发的Hall奖,分别为:首都师范大学葛根年教授(2006年度,国家杰出青年基金获得者),苏州大学季利均教授(2015年度)和我校马杰教授(2020年度)。相关链接:http://www.the-ica.org/medals.php
