International Conference on Harmonic Analysis and Its Applications | Celebrating Chancellor Lu’s 80th birthday

During June 16 to 18, the 2018 International Conference on Harmonic Analysis and Its Applications was held at Yanqihu Campus of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. As the largest international event of the discipline of harmonic analysis and its applications in China, 320 scholars and doctoral students from the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and other countries and regions were invited to attend the conference. Professor Lu Shanzhen, the leading authority of this field in China and the Chancellor of Wenzhou-Kean University are turning eighty in 2018.  At this conference, the participating scholars celebrated Chancellor Lu’s 80^th birthday together.

On the first day of the conference, the first presenter of the conference, the famous mathematician D. Muller from Germany, took ten minutes to introduce Professor Lu’s academic and educational achievements. Mueller said that Professor Lu had established a school with significant international influence in the discipline of harmonic analysis, and had made remarkable scientific research contributions with students and collaborators in various fields of harmonic analysis. Professor Lu has cultivated 29 Ph.D. students, all standing out in the relevant research fields both at home and abroad; and some of them have become leading figures in their fields.
