Philibert Nang
Philibert Nang is a Gabonese mathematician known for his work in algebra.
Nang won the 2011 ICTP Ramanujan Prize for his research in mathematics, and because he conducted it in Gabon the ICTP declared: "It is hoped that his example will inspire other young African mathematicians working at the highest levels while based in Africa."
He obtained his Ph.D. from the Pierre and Marie Curie University in 1996 under the supervision of Louis Boutet de Monvel.
Nang currently serves as president of the Gabon Mathematical Society.
He has been a visiting member at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics and at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.Selected publications
