The National Center of Theoretical Sciences Mathematics Division (NCTS) is pleased to share the news that Prof. Weichung Wang of National Taiwan University, Prof. Cheng-Chiang Tsai and Prof. Julie Tzu-Yueh Wang of Academia Sinica are recipients of the 2024 Outstanding Research Award of the National Science and Technology Council.
Prof. Weichung Wang has been working on applications of AI to medical images. He and his team MeDA Lab developed PANCREASaver, which is a fully automatic end-to-end CAD tool which employs deep learning models to predict whether CT images harbor PC and indicate the predicted location of the PC, without the need for preprocessing of the images by radiologists. It is able to detect 92% of the PDACs missed by radiologists, with 92.1% sensitivity for tumors less than 2 cm. This is a great achievement of the AI-driven applications of mathematics.
The research directions of Prof. Julie Tzu-Yueh include Diophantine approximation and Diophantine geometry over number fields and function fields, value distribution theory and complex geometry. She has made several fundamental contributions to subspace theorems and GCD problems in Diophantine approximation over function fields by employing techniques from Nevalinna theory.
Prof. Tsai works in representation theory of p-adic groups with tools from geometry and harmonic analysis. He has received the 2024 Wu Ta-You Memorial Award, the 2024 Academia Sinica Early-Career Investigator Research Achievement Award and is also a committee member of the NCTS program Number theory and representation theory. The NCTS wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate him again on his extraordinary achievements.
