Prof. Yuanheng Wang is a distinguished Chinese mathematician and professor at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Zhejiang Normal University (formerly Zhejiang where he has combined teaching, research, and academic administration for many years. He earned his doctoral degree in Mathematics from Shanghai Normal University, having earlier studied functional analysis and Banach space theory, and also spent time as a visiting scholar at the University of New South Wales in Australia. Over his long and productive career, he has taught a broad range of undergraduate and graduate courses — including real analysis, functional analysis, variational inequality theory, and the geometry of Banach spaces — and has supervised many master’s and doctoral students. As a researcher, Prof. Wang’s principal interests lie in nonlinear functional analysis, fixed-point theory, Banach space geometry, variational inequalities, and non-linear optimization, where he has developed and analyzed iterative methods, projection algorithms, and convergence theorems. His research skills include deep theoretical analysis, convergence proof techniques, hybrid iterative schemes, and the design of projection-based algorithms. Throughout his career, he has held leadership and service roles: he has served as a reviewer for Mathematical Reviews (USA) and contributed peer review for dozens of international journals, acted as vice-dean of the mathematics/information faculty at his university, and participated in minority-staff associations. He has received several honors, including the “First Ten Teachers in Students’ Minds” award at Zhejiang Normal University, the Zheng Xiaocang Prize, and membership in the 10th Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. He has successfully led and completed multiple research grants at national and provincial levels, and his more than seventy published papers include over thirty indexed by SCI and Mathematical Reviews. Prof. Wang is also active in community engagement, mentoring students and promoting participation of ethnic minority faculty in academic life. In sum, Prof. Yuanheng Wang represents a rare blend of scholarly excellence, pedagogical dedication, and institutional leadership, deeply committed to advancing mathematical theory and nurturing future generations of researchers.
