1. Princeton mathematician June Huh awarded prestigious Fields Medal
July 5, 2022
Princeton University mathematician June Huh was awarded today the 2022 Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious awards in mathematics, in recognition of his work in combinatorics. The International Mathematical Union (IMU) presents the medal every four years to researchers under the age of 40 based on the influence of their existing work and on their “promise of future achievement.”
He joined the Princeton faculty in 2021 and had taught at the University twice previously: in Spring 2017, when he was the Oswald Veblen Fellow at Princeton, and in the 2019-2020 academic year, when he was the Robert and Luisa Fernholz Visiting Professor of Mathematics.
Huh is the ninth Fields Medal recipient from the Princeton faculty. Previous laureates include Manjul Bhargava, Princeton’s Robert C. Gunning *55 and R. Brandon Fradd ’83 Professor in Mathematics, and Charles Fefferman, the Herbert E. Jones, Jr. ’43 University Professor of Mathematics.
2. 韩裔，他的教育经历很有意思。
Huh was born in Stanford, California while his parents were completing graduate school at Stanford University, but grew up in South Korea, where his family returned when he was approximately two years old. His father was a professor of statistics at Korea University, while his mother was a professor of Russian language at Seoul National University.[1][6] Poor scores on elementary school tests convinced him that he was not very good at math. He dropped out of high school to focus on writing poetry after becoming bored and exhausted by the routine of studying.[6] Because of this, he has been described as a late bloomer.[7] Huh enrolled at Seoul National University (SNU) in 2002, but was initially unsettled. He initially aimed to become a science journalist and decided to major in physics and astronomy, but compiled a poor attendance record and had to repeat several courses that he initially failed.[
