The International Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) has just decided to award the 2024 Dénes König Prize to two mathematicians, including Dr. Pham Tuan Huy.
Dr. Pham Tuan Huy and his colleague, Dr. Jinyoung Park, a 42-year-old female Korean mathematician, won the 2024 Dénes König Prize with their joint paper titled "Proving the Kahn-Kalai Conjecture".
The award will be presented at the SIAM Conference on Discrete Mathematics (DM24) taking place from July 8-11 in Washington, USA.
According to SIAM, the Dénes König Prize (named after a Hungarian-Jewish mathematician famous for publishing the first textbook on graph theory) is awarded every two years by SIAM's Discrete Mathematics Working Group to one or more individuals early in their careers for outstanding research contributions in the field of discrete mathematics.
The winning work must have been published within 3 years in a peer-reviewed journal.
A significant scientific article must be cited as evidence of contributions, although the content of the articles may be discussed in the nomination. Eligible articles must be published in English in a peer-reviewed journal with a publication date within three calendar years prior to the year of the award.
Each candidate must hold a PhD or postdoctoral degree at the time of award, or within 4 years of receiving the PhD.
Discrete mathematics includes combinatorics, graph theory, cryptography, discrete optimization, mathematical programming, coding theory, information theory, game theory, and theoretical computer science.
SIAM is headquartered in the United States, with two-thirds of its members residing in the United States, and the rest being scientists from other countries.
The Dénes König Prize includes a cash prize of USD 1,000 and a certificate with citations. If the selected paper has multiple qualified authors, each of those authors will receive a certificate. SIAM will reimburse the laureate for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending the award ceremony.
The awards will be announced by the chair of the SIAM Discrete Mathematics Working Group. Announcements of award recipients will also appear in the SIAM newsletter and the working group newsletter.
The Dénes König Prize was first awarded in 2008. To date, 10 mathematicians have won this prize, of which Dr. Pham Tuan Huy is the first Vietnamese.
Dr. Pham Tuan Huy is 28 years old this year. He just received his PhD in Mathematics from Stanford University, USA in 2023. 10 years ago, Pham Tuan Huy was a student at the Gifted High School (Ho Chi Minh City National University) in the 2011-2014 school year.
Huy is the only student from the southern provinces to win two gold medals at the IMO International Mathematics Olympiad (2013 and 2014). Last year, Huy was also honored to receive the Clay Scholarship.
After graduating from high school, Huy studied mathematics from undergraduate to doctoral level at Stanford University. He is currently a scientific collaborator at Stanford University under the Clay Research Fellow program, a famous private foundation in the US. Huy's Clay Research Fellow term at Stanford University is 5 years.
Dr. Tran Nam Dung, Vice Principal of the Gifted High School, said: "This summer, Pham Tuan Huy will return to Vietnam to attend a number of scientific conferences and summer schools as a reporter and lecturer, including the Resonances in the world of Mathematics conference organized by former students of the Gifted High School and former students of the University of Natural Sciences (Ho Chi Minh City National University).
