AORC for Mathematics,
Nankai University Center for Combinatorics and Tianjin University Center for Applied Mathematics
Signed MOU on joint research
Algorithm and optimization theory in big data and artificial intelligence, which is leading the 4th industrial revolution, has become increasingly important, so the 'Application Algebra and Optimization Research Center(AORC)' held a Mutual Academic Exchange Agreement(MoU) signing ceremony on research cooperation with 'Center for Combinatorics' of China's Nankai University and 'Center for Applied Mathematics' of Tianjin University on October 23rd at Tianjin University.
With the increasing importance of graph theory and combination in algorithms and optimization theories, professor Gi-sang Cheon, the director of the AORC for mathematics, and professor Willian Y. Chen, the director of two research centers in China, intend to expand and develop joint research area of combination and graph theory through this academic exchange agreement.
Nankai University was founded in 1919 in Tianjin as the first private university in China. It is famous as the first premier in China, Zhou Enlai (周恩來) and the world-renowned mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern(陳省身) after becoming a public university. The 'Combination Center' established by Professor W.Y. Chen at the Nakai University in 1997 with the support of Tenjin has grown steadily to become a global research center with government support. Currently, 12 full-time faculty members and many visiting researchers and graduate students make active studies. In particular, the journal 'Annals of Combinatorics', which was created at the time of the establishment of the center, is now the representative SCI journal in the field of combinatorics. 'Applied Mathematics Research Center' was founded in Tianjin University by the plan of S.-S. Chern Professor with the support of the Tianjin municipal government in 2012. Professor W. Y. Chen is the head of the Center since its inception, and 50 full-time faculty members are actively studying the application areas of mathematics. In the next few years, more than 50 teachers will be recruited. The center's goal is to develop into a world-class applied mathematics laboratory to facilitate the application of mathematics to science and practical problems.
