He is also a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Zelmanov&#8217;s work primarily focuses on non-associative algebra and group theory. He solved the Restricted Burnside Problem, one of the oldest and most influential problems in finite group theory, which was posed in 1902 and had perplexed group theorists and algebraists throughout the 20th century. For his groundbreaking contributions, he was awarded the Fields Medal in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>He has held positions at several prestigious institutions, including Professor at the Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1980), Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1990-1994), and Professor at the University of Chicago (1994-1995). Since 2002, he has served as a Chair Professor at the University of California, San Diego. In February 2019, he became the Director of the Zelmanov Mathematical Center at Southern University of Science and Technology. In July 2022, he became a chair professor at Southern University of Science and Technology.<\/p>\n<p>Free pizza will be provided!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1373\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2025\/12\/\u56fe\u72471.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"621\" height=\"828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2025\/12\/\u56fe\u72471.png 621w, https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2025\/12\/\u56fe\u72471-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2025\/12\/\u56fe\u72471-300x400.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2025\/12\/\u56fe\u72471-9x12.png 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title Mathematics in the Modern World Speaker Prof. Efim Zelmanov Director of the Shenzhen International Center for Mathematics, Southern University of Science and Technology Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Member of the National Academy of Sciences Fields Medal, 1994 Guangdong Friendship Award, 2023 Time and Location 19:00-20:00 (Beijing Time), 14:00-15:00 (Israel Time), [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":395,"featured_media":421,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","mec_category":[42],"mec_speaker":[388],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mec-events\/1372"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mec-events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mec-events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/395"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1372"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"mec_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mec_category?post=1372"},{"taxonomy":"mec_speaker","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mec_speaker?post=1372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
