My Take
Hong Wang fascinates me because she operates at the dizzying frontier of Fourier analysis and geometric measure theory, fields most of us can barely pronounce. Born in 1991 in Guilin, a city of misty, painting-like landscapes, she has already collected the Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize, the Salem Prize and the Ostrowski Prize. What moves me is not the trophy cabinet but the quiet obsession it implies: years of wrestling with problems invisible to the rest of us. I admire mathematicians precisely because their fame is hard-won and rarely loud, and Wang strikes me as one of the most luminous of her generation.
