Nguyễn Tiến Dũng (Nguyen Tien Zung) (born 1970 Hanoi, Vietnam) is a French-Vietnamese mathematician. He got a International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) Gold medal when he was only 15 (1985) and to this day, he is the youngest Vietnamese who has ever achieved this feat.

=Education and Career= In 1985, when he was studying in grade 11, he got first place on the 26th IMO test with 5 other students in Finland. At the IMO, he achieved a gold medal with a score of 35/42.

In 1986, Zung traveled to the Soviet Union to study Mathematics and Engineering at Moscow State University. At the end of his 2nd year, he worked under the help of Prof. A. T. Fomenko. Towards his last high school years, he had 4 scientific newspapers (2 of them are made with the help of Prof. Fomenko) in a trusted mathematics magazine in the Soviet Union named Russian Math. Surveys, Adv. Soviet Math.

After graduating, he worked at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics at Trieste, Italy

In 1994, at the age of 24, he made a doctoral thesis with the name of "Symplectic topology of integrable Hamiltonian systems" with the help of Michèle Audin at University of Strasbourg

He once worked in Montpellier, France before being an official professor at University of Toulouse, France

In 2007, Zung was named as the first place professor by the French National Council of Universities (CNU) when he was at the age of 37

In 2015, the CNU named Dung as a special class professor.

Even though he left the country for over 30 years, he still has his Vietnamese nationality and often teaches and exchange with teaching institutes in Vietnam. Prof. Zung is open to giving suggestions without being biased. His ideas are always appreciated by experts.

Contributions
Prof. Zung worked in many fields of math including: Differential geometry, Symplectic geometry, Poisson geometry, Ergodic theory, Dynamical system, Mathematical physics, Mathematical finance, Computational complexity theory and more.

Until now, he has had over 50 scientific newspaper, including top magazines like Annals of Mathematics, Annals of Science, Letters in Mathematical Physics, Physics Letters

He is also the co-writer of the following reference books:


 * Dufour, Jean-Paul; Zung, Nguyen Tien. Poisson structures and their normal forms. Progress in Mathematics, 242. Birkhauser Verlag, Basel, 2005. xvi+321 pp.
 * Bolsinov, Alexey; Morales-Ruiz, Juan J.; Tien Zung, Nguyen. Geometry and dynamics of integrable systems. Birkhauser/Springer, Cham, 2016. viii+140 pp.

Besides math, Prof. Zung also researches I.T. and Computer science. In 2015, Prof. Zung collaborated with Prof. Hà Huy Khoái, Prof. Đỗ Đức Thái and some other people to make the “Sputnik” book collection for young students.

In the I.T. field, he’s researching how to fight skin cancer using math.

Interviews and Talks
In an interview with the VietnamNet press regarding some Vietnamese scientists buying their brands from foreign countries in 2006, he once said: “Tasting the title of “famous academics””

“One of the hundreds of greatest minds of the century in the world”

“He compares his scientific dedications to the same level of famous mathematicians as Lobachevsky, while your “work” is of no interest to anyone in the world.” Category:1970 births
