-

 Yunqing Tang will receive the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize for 2022. Read below to know the significance of Tang’s work and the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize.


Yunqing Tang will receive the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize for 2022. Tang is an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, U.S.A.

The award is presented annually to a person aged 32 and below for outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics, influenced by Srinivasa Ramanujan in a broad way. The award is instituted by the Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology, and Research Academy(SASTRA) in 2005 including a cash prize of $10,000. 

Yunqing Tang's work: Significance

  1. Tang’s work displays a remarkable combination of sophisticated techniques, in which the geometry and arithmetic of modular curves and of Shimura varieties play a vital role.
  2. Yunqing’s results and methods are liable to have an important impact on future research in this area. 
  3. Tang’s latest joint work with Frank Calegari and Vesselin Dimitrov based on modular equations is of great significance and has connections with Ramanujan’s own work.
  4. A release by Krishnaswami Alladi, chair of the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize Committee praised Tang as one of the most promising and creative mathematicians of her age and her broad-ranging contributions are compelled to have an impact in the coming decades. 

SASTRA Ramanujan Prize: All you need to know

  1. The SASTRA prize will be honored at the International Conference on Number Theory at SASTRA university during December 20-22, 2022.
  2. The committee to give the award includes Don Blasius, University of California; Jonathan Pila, Oxford University; Cam Stewart, University of Waterloo; Dan Goldston, San Jose State University; Zeev Rudnick, Tel Aviv University; and Ken Ono, University of Virginia.

Who is Yunqing Tang?

Yunquing Tang was born in China. She has done B.Sc at Peking University in 2011. Later Tang went to Harvard University for higher education. In 2016, Tang completed her Ph.D. at Harvard under the direction of Mark Kisin. She joined UC Berkeley in July 2022 as Assistant Professor after stints at Princeton University as a postdoctoral fellow, Instructor, and Assistant Professor.

Using plasma technology to recycle CO₂ from steelmaking

Plasma is all around us, comprising 99% of the visible universe, including the stars at night and the branch of lightning we see cracking open the sky. Researchers are using the power of this superheated matter for everything from making computer chips to healing wounds. And in Belgium, three companies are collaborating on a world-first technology: a plasma reactor that turns captured CO₂ into carbon monoxide (CO) for steel and chemical production. The process holds promise for decarbonizing steelmaking. The role of CO₂ recycling The steel sector creates more CO₂ than any other heavy industry and is considered challenging to electrify. This is because traditional steelmaking in blast furnaces uses coal as both a source of heat and, in the chemical process, as a reductant for converting iron ore to elemental (‘pig’) iron. While the sector looks to future-proof with technologies such as electric arc furnaces and direct reduction of iron ore with hydrogen, it is looking to CO₂ capture, ut...

  WhatsApp Chat GPT Integration via GitHub Project Lets Users Add AI to Conversations: Details WhatsApp is arguably the world's most popular messaging service, and the Meta-owned messaging service also offers a version of the app for businesses that supports basic automated responses. On the other hand, Chat GPT, the wildly popular chatbot from San Francisco startup Open AI has seen users cross the 100 million mark in record time. Developer Daniel Gross has developed an open source integration called WhatsApp-GPT, which is  hosted  on GitHub. Written in Python and the Go programming language (Golang), the service must be run via the terminal (command line) and requires a  WhatsApp  account registered with a phone number. The chatbot will be run in a separate browser window in order to respond to chats, according to the developer.  The readme file for the project states that users must run two scripts, one in Golang and a sever script in Python. They wi...

 Highway technology New technology that monitors commercial vehicles will improve safety for local residents and drivers on Highway 5A. Weigh-in-motion and automatic vehicle-identification systems will monitor commercial vehicles at highway speeds using sensors built into and above the highway. The sensors will measure real-time safety and vehicle data, such as weight, height and tire conditions, and compare the data against enforced standards.    Commercial vehicle data will be relayed directly to mobile Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement officers in the area, enabling more efficient intervention and enforcement of safety standards. Quick Facts: The new virtual system on Highway 5A will provide information about all commercial vehicles that pass whether they are enrolled in the Weigh2Go program or not. Known collectively as Weigh2GoBC, the ministry has established a network of 12 weigh-in-motion and automatic vehicle-identification technologies that check vehicle ...
