王艺霖1991—

教育与职业生涯

王艺霖1991年生于上海，就读上海外国语学校期间选修法语作为外语。高三时，法国国民教育和青年部在中国针对数学优异学生展开招生计划。尽管王艺霖在招生考试中成绩未达顶尖，但她是唯一一位用法语而非英语填写问卷的学生，此举引起面试官关注，最终成功获选进入该计划。

在里昂的Lycée du Parc完成大学校预科班后，王艺霖于2011年进入巴黎高等师范学院。2014年获巴黎第六大学基础数学硕士学位，2015年再获巴黎第十一大学概率与统计硕士学位。 2019年，她在苏黎世联邦理工学院完成博士学位，导师为文德林·维尔纳。

她曾于麻省理工学院担任三年C.L.E. 摩尔讲师，期间休假一学期赴加州柏克莱的美国国家数学科学研究所担任博士后研究员。2022年，她成为法国高等科学研究院首位初级教授。 2024年，她获聘为苏黎世联邦理工学院副教授。

荣誉

王艺霖于2022年获颁“玛丽安·米尔札哈尼新前沿奖”，表彰其“在平面曲线勒夫纳能量领域的创新与深远研究”。 2024年，她荣获塞勒姆奖，肯定其“在复分析、概率论与数学物理间建立深刻新连结，特别是对泰希米勒理论及施拉姆-勒夫纳演化理论的贡献”。

Yilin Wang (Chinese: 王艺霖; born 1991) is a mathematician whose research has involved complex analysis and probability theory, including Teichmüller theory, the Schramm–Loewner evolution, and Loewner energy. Originally from China, and educated in France and Switzerland, she is a junior professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in France and has accepted a position at ETH Zurich in Switzerland starting in July 2025.

Education and career

Wang was born in Shanghai in 1991 and attended Shanghai Foreign Language School where she elected to learn French as a foreign language. In Wang's third year of high school, the French Ministry of Education held a recruiting campaign in China for students who excelled in mathematics. While Wang did not score particularly well on the recruitment exam, she was the only student to answer her questionnaire in French rather than English.This caught the attention of the interviewers and she was eventually accepted into the programme.

After classes prépas at the Lycée du Parc in Lyon, Wang entered the École normale supérieure (Paris) in 2011. She earned a master's degree in fundamental mathematics at Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris in 2014 and a second master's degree in probability and statistics at Paris-Sud University in 2015. She completed a Ph.D. at ETH Zurich in 2019 with the dissertation On the Loewner energy of simple planar curves supervised by Wendelin Werner.

She spent three years as a C.L.E. Moore Instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including a one-semester leave as Strauch Postdoctoral fellow at the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute in Berkeley, California. Next, she became a junior professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in 2022, the institute's first junior professor. In 2024, she was appointed to a position as associate professor at ETH Zurich.

Recognition

Wang was a 2022 recipient of the Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize, given "for innovative and far-reaching work on the Loewner energy of planar curves".

She is one of two 2024 recipients of the Salem Prize, given "for developing deep novel connections between complex analysis, probability, and mathematical physics, particularly with regards to Teichmuller theory and the theory of the Schramm–Loewner evolution".
