Chunwei Song

Chunwei Song is a Chinese mathematician who specializes in combinatorics, graph theory, and intellectual history. He is a professor of mathematics at Peking University.

Education and career

Song received his Ph.D. in 2004 from the University of Pennsylvania, with the dissertation Combinatorial Theory of ${\displaystyle q,t}$-Schröder Polynomials, Parking Functions and Trees under the supervision of Professor James Haglund. ^[1]

Prior to joining Peking University, Song held visiting faculty positions at Boston College in Massachusetts and Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. From 2005 to 2006, he served as a visiting associate professor in the Department of Mathematical and Computing Science at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (now Science Tokyo). In 2010, he was a visiting associate professor at the University of Delaware. ^[2]

Research contributions

Song is the author of Lattice Path Combinatorics and Special Counting Sequences: From an Enumerative Perspective, CRC Press, Boca Raton, ISBN 978-1032671758.

Coauthored with Chen Dayue (陈大岳) and Xu Zhongqin (许忠勤), Song is a main editor of the tribute volume Ding Shisun and Chinese Mathematics (《丁石孙与中国数学》). ^[3]

Song also has scholarly interests in Chinese and East Asian intellectual history. He is the author of Heroes Brought Buddhism to the East of the Sea: A Fully Annotated Translation of The Preface of Haedong Kosŭng Chŏn , published in Sino-Platonic Papers (Issue 183).

Academic talks

In 2014, Song gave a talk at Academia Sinica titled The Art of Lattice Path Combinatorics and Combinatorial Statistics. ^[4]

In 2021, Song delivered an invited talk at the 14th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME 14) at its Thematic Afternoon activities. ^[5]

In 2022, he gave a Plenary Address at the 11th National Forum on Mathematics Culture organized by the Chinese Mathematical Society. ^[6]

Editorial boards

Song is on the editorial boards of Enumerative Combinatorics and Applications, ^[7] Advances and Applications in Discrete Mathematics, ^[8] Frontiers of Mathematics, ^[9] and several other academic journals.

Recognition and influences

Song was a Council Member of both the 12th and the 13th Councils of the Chinese Mathematical Society. ^{[10] [11]}

In 2023, Song became an elected delegate of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress. ^[12]

As a scholar, he contributes opinion pieces to prominent media outlets such as Phoenix Weekly , Southern Metropolis Daily , and The Daily Pakistan . His writings engage diverse audiences across various countries, offering insightful and impactful perspectives on a wide range of themes. ^{[13] [14] [15]}
