Chen Yongchuan, a mathematician, is a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Nankai University. He was born in March, 1964 in Nanchong, Sichuan Province. He had made tremendous achievements in Algebraic Combinatorics.

Experience

He graduated from the College of Computer Science of Sichuan University in 1984. Afterwards he graduated from the College of Mathematics of Sichuan University in 1987. 

Then he worked as a teacher in the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. In the same year, he went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US to study Combinatorics with G.-C. Rota, the member of United States National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the founder of modern Combinatorics on the recommendation of Shiing-Shen Chern. 

Subsequently, he received his doctor’s degree in Applied Mathematics in 1991. In 1991, he won the Award of Julius Robert Oppenheimer Post Doctorate by Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he had received the tenure as a researcher in 1993. 

In 1994, he returned to China and worked in Nankai University.
