Lexing Ying received the 2011 Feng Kang Prize

[[Lexing Ying received the 2011 Feng Kang Prize of Scientific Computing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Ying is an associate professor of mathematics and affiliated with the ICES Center for Numerical Analysis.

“It was really an honor for me as it is named after the pioneer of computational mathematics in China,” said Ying.

Ying's research focuses on developing fast and accurate numerical algorithms for problems in acoustics and electromagnetics, computational seismology, computational material sciences, and transport theory.

Since 1995, the Feng Kang Prize of Scientific Computing has honored young Chinese scientists in China and abroad for their significant contributions in the broad areas of scientific computing every other year.

Winners are rewarded with a premium of 20,000 Chinese Yuan each.

The Feng Kang Prize is dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Feng Kang, the founder and pioneer of Chinese computational mathematics. He was a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences, a professor and the founding director of the Computing Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His work on sympletic methods was awarded the First Prize of National Natural Science Award of China.
