Fields Medal 2026 winners include mathematician Hong Wang - the third woman to ever win in the award's 90-year history

The 2026 Fields Medal, one of the world’s most prestigious mathematics prizes, has just been awarded to four pioneering young researchers — including mathematician Hong Wang, the third woman ever to win the prize in the 90 years since the award was established. The Fields Medal is an award presented every four years to mathematicians under the age of 40 for their outstanding discoveries. The International Mathematical Union announced Thursday (July 23) that Wang, a professor at New York University, is among the four recipients of the 2026 medal for her work on a decades-old conjecture about how needles move in 3D spaces. . The 2026 Fields Medal winners also include Yu Deng of the University of Chicago, who was recognized for connecting microscopic and macroscopic descriptions of gases; John Pardon of Stony Brook University, whose work solved major problems in topology and geometry; and Jacob Tsimerman of the University of Toronto, who developed powerful new techniques in algebraic geometry that have advanced progress on longstanding mathematical puzzles. Wang joins an exceptionally small group of women to receive the Fields Medal. Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani was the first, in 2014, followed by Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska in 2022. No woman...
