Prof. Yuanheng Wang | Mathematics | Outstanding Scientist Award | Professor | Zhejiang Normal University | China

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.

Dr. Edwiga Renald | Mathematics | Best Researcher Award

Lecturer and researcher | Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology | Tanzania

Dr. Edwiga Renald is a distinguished Tanzanian researcher and academic currently serving as a Lecturer and Researcher at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST) in Arusha, Tanzania. With an exceptional academic background in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science, Dr. Renald has established herself as a leading figure in the integration of mathematical modelling and artificial intelligence within epidemiological research. She earned her Ph.D. in Mathematical and Computer Science and Engineering (Applied Mathematics and Computational Science) from NM-AIST, where her doctoral research, “Control of Lumpy Skin Disease of Cattle: A Mathematical Modelling Approach Coupled with Deep Learning,” combined deep learning frameworks with mathematical models to enhance disease control and prediction accuracy. She previously obtained both her MSc in the same field and a BSc in Mathematics and Statistics from Mwenge Catholic University, where she also began her academic career as a Tutorial Assistant before advancing to Assistant Lecturer and later joining NM-AIST. Dr. Renald’s professional experience spans teaching, supervising postgraduate research, and conducting high-impact studies addressing real-world epidemiological and computational challenges. Her research interests include mathematical modelling of infectious diseases, deep learning applications in epidemiology, Bayesian statistics, data assimilation, and computational biology. She has been actively involved in international research programs, including the WOLIMODs Research Program at Lappeenranta University of Technology in Finland and the TWAS-SISSA Lincei Fellowship at the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) in Italy, where she gained expertise in Bayesian parameter estimation and Kalman filtering techniques. Dr. Renald’s scholarly output includes multiple Scopus-indexed publications in high-impact journals such as Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine Update and Modeling Earth Systems and Environment. Her work demonstrates a deep commitment to improving computational epidemiology and promoting evidence-based policy decisions for disease control in Africa. She is also an active member of several professional organizations, including the African Society for Biomathematics and Tanzania Women in Mathematics, advocating for gender equity in STEM fields. In recognition of her excellence, Dr. Renald received the Professor Verdiana Grace Masanja Award for the best female graduand in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science at NM-AIST. Her research skills encompass MATLAB, Python, Java, LaTeX, and GUI development, reflecting strong computational and analytical proficiency. Driven by academic excellence, mentorship, and innovation, Dr. Edwiga Renald continues to advance interdisciplinary research at the intersection of mathematics, data science, and health, inspiring a new generation of researchers in Africa and beyond.
