Duong Hong Phong (Vietnamese: Dương Hồng Phong, born 30 August 1953, Nam Dinh, Vietnam) is an American mathematician of Vietnamese origin. He is a professor of mathematics at Columbia University. He is known for his research on complex analysis, partial differential equations, string theory and complex geometry.
After graduating from Lycée Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Saigon, Phong attended a university year at the École Polytechnique Fédérale, Lausanne, Switzerland and then went to the United States as an undergraduate and then a graduate student at Princeton University.[1]
In 1977, he defended his dissertation entitled "On Hölder and Lp Estimates for the Conjugate Partial Equation on Strongly Pseudo-Convex Domains" under the direction of Elias Stein.
For the academic year 1977–1978, Phong was a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.[2]
In 1994 he was an Invited Speaker at the ICM in Zurich.[3] He was the second Vietnamese to receive the honor (after Frédéric Pham).[4]
In 2009 Phong was awarded the Stefan Bergman Prize for his research on the operators involved in the Neumann d-bar problem and on pseudo-differential operators.[5]
He was named to the 2021 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to analysis, geometry, and mathematical physics".[6]
