Professor Chi Hoi YIP was awarded the 2025 Kirkman Medal
Professor Chi Hoi YIP was awarded the 2025 Kirkman Medal. Kirkman Medals recognize excellent research by Fellows or Associate Fellows of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications (ICA), an international scholarly society established in 1990 for the purpose of promoting the development of combinatorics and of encouraging publications and conferences in combinatorics and its applications. Professor Chi Hoi Yip was awarded the 2025 Kirkman Medal for his outstanding contributions across arithmetic combinatorics, extremal combinatorics, finite geometry and analytic number theory. He has authored or co-authored 55 publications and preprints, including many single-authored papers published in leading journals. He integrates ideas and techniques from disparate areas in truly original ways to resolve long-standing open problems in both combinatorics and number theory. His research displays a remarkable combination of breadth and depth, and his academic achievements have been recognized by numerous awards, scholarships and fellowships.
Professor Kun XU ranked among the Top 100 in China by Research.com
Professor Kun Xu, Head and Chair Professor of Mathematics, has been ranked among the top 100 scholars in China in his discipline by Research.com. Research.com is a leading international educational platform for students. It publishes comprehensive, data-driven guides, expert-reviewed resources, and trusted rankings to help answer key education-related questions and support informed academic decisions.
The Research.com Best Scientist Ranking is based on a rigorous analysis of extensive and authoritative bibliometric databases.

Professor Quoc HO was awarded the 2026 Hong Kong Mathematical Society Young Scholar Award
Professor Quoc HO was awarded the 2026 Hong Kong Mathematical Society Young Scholar Award for his numerous fundamental contributions to the field of algebraic geometry, representation theory and low dimensional topology. He built a solid research program resulting in sensational results in classical algebraic geometry, representation theory, and knot theory. He has made a conceptual breakthrough in invention of a new uniform tool, called graded sheaves, of broad application in geometric representation theory and knot theory. This is a yearly award to recognize outstanding achievements of young scholars.
