Four mathematicians—Yu Deng, John Pardon, Jacob Tsimerman, and Hong Wang—have been awarded the 2026 Fields Medal, one of the highest honors in mathematics. The announcement was made at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia. The recipients span various mathematical disciplines, including number theory and mathematical physics. Two of the winners, Deng and Wang, were born in China, making them the second and third Chinese nationals to receive the award. Wang is also noted as the third woman to win the Fields Medal in its 90-year history. Deng's research focused on reconciling microscopic particle behavior with macroscopic fluid dynamics, while Pardon contributed to geometric problems solved during his early education.
