After Professor Ngo Bao Chau, Pham Tuan Huy was awarded a scholarship by the Clay Mathematics Institute.

Introduction about Mr. Pham Tuan Huy on the website of Clay Mathematics Institute

This morning, January 29, Mr. Pham Chau Tuan, father of Pham Tuan Huy (former student of Gifted High School, Ho Chi Minh City National University, who won two consecutive gold medals at the IMO international math competition in 2013 and 2014) - said the above.

Pham Tuan Huy - active and creative researcher

Accordingly, the Clay Mathematics Institute has officially announced that two mathematicians will be awarded research fellowships in 2023, including Paul Minter (who just received his PhD in 2022 at Cambridge University, UK) and Pham Tuan Huy (who is about to receive his PhD at Stanford University, USA).

According to the Clay Mathematics Institute, both Paul Minter and Pham Tuan Huy have been appointed Clay Research Fellows since July 1, 2023. Paul Minter's appointment is for 4 years and Pham Tuan Huy's is for 5 years (because Paul Minter obtained his PhD before Pham Tuan Huy).

On the Clay Mathematics Institute website, Pham Tuan Huy is described as a very active and creative researcher who has made fundamental contributions to combinatorics, probability, number theory, and theoretical informatics.

It is known that the list of former Clay researchers posted on the website of the Clay Mathematics Institute includes 34 people. Of these, 7 people have won the Fields Medal.

Vietnam has Professor Ngo Bao Chau who received a Clay Research Fellowship in 2004 and now Pham Tuan Huy.

Prestigious Scholarship

The Clay Mathematics Institute is a famous American private foundation founded in 1998 to honor mathematical talents and sponsor those with the potential to become the world's leading mathematicians.

The Clay Research Fellowship is an annual scholarship awarded by the Clay Institute to about 2-3 mathematicians each year. The Clay Mathematics Institute does not introduce the specific value of the scholarship, only saying that it is a "generous" salary and research expense provision for the recipient.

Candidates for the scholarship are those who have recently received their doctorate, or have completed their thesis (are about to receive their doctorate).

Each fellowship will typically last for up to five years, depending on when the candidate has earned their PhD. While fellows are employed by the Clay Mathematics Institute, they can work at any institute or university in the world.

The primary selection criteria for the scholarship are the exceptional quality of the candidate's research and the promise of becoming a leading mathematician in their chosen field.
