Prof. Wanyang Dai

Nanjing University, China

Wanyang Dai is a Professor at the School of Mathematics, Nanjing University (PhD supervisor/key discipline post), Chief Scientist at Su Xia Control Technology, and Chairman & CEO of the American Quantum Computing Blockchain Industrial Revolution Forum (SIR Forum). He serves as a distinguished expert at Jiangsu Financial Technology Research Center, President of Jiangsu Statistical Society, Chair of Jiangsu Big Data Blockchain and Intelligent Information Committee, Vice President of several national societies in probability, statistics, operations research, and applied mathematics, and a member of the National Natural Science Award Committee for Mathematics (leader of the stochastic analysis group). He is also an expert reviewer for major National Natural Science Foundation projects, including outstanding youth programs. Professor Dai has held editorial roles for numerous international journals such as Elsevier’s Results in Applied Mathematics and Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics, and has chaired various international conferences. He was a permanent scientist and researcher at AT&T (now Nokia) Bell Labs, leading key projects and assisting technical management, and served as Chief Scientist at Deepsea Digital Economy Institute. He earned his PhD in Mathematics, jointly awarded by Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Mathematics and the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (1992–1996). Professor Dai has made significant contributions to quantum computing and quantum cloud computing, stochastic (asymptotic) optimal control, stochastic (differential) game theory, and stochastic (ordinary/partial) differential equations including forward-backward and reflected types. His pioneering work, cited and developed by many renowned scientists including US Academy of Sciences and Engineering members and winners of the INFORMS Lancaster and John von Neumann prizes, was featured as a 45-minute invited lecture at the 1998 International Congress of Mathematicians in probability and statistics. His influential results have been published in leading international journals.
