Tan Eng Chye (simplified Chinese : 陈永财 ; traditional Chinese : 陳永財 ; pinyin : Chén Yǒngcái university administrator who has been serving as the third president of the National University of Singapore since 2018.[1] provost at the National University of Singapore.
Education
[ edit ]
Tan attended Raffles Institution between 1974 and 1979 before graduating from the National University of Singapore in 1985 with a Bachelor of Science (First Class Honours) degree in mathematics . He later went on to obtain his PhD from Yale University in 1989, under the guidance of Roger Howe .[2]
Career
[ edit ]
He joined NUS as a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics in 1985, as a Senior Tutor, eventually becoming the Department's Deputy Head in 1999. In June 2003, he was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Science , a post he held till March 2007. Up till 2017, he served as NUS’ Deputy President (Academic Affairs) and Provost .
Tan Eng Chye's research interests are representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras , invariant theory and algebraic combinatorics . In collaboration with Roger Howe , he has written a well-known[citation needed graduate-level textbook on non-Abelian harmonic analysis and contributed to several subjects in representation theory including degenerate principal series representations and branching rules . He has also been active in promoting mathematics, having established the Singapore Mathematical Society Enrichment Programmes in 1994, revamped the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad in 1995 to allow more participation from students, and initiated a series of project teaching workshops for teachers in 1998. He served as president of the Singapore Mathematical Society from 2001 to 2005 and President of the South East Asian Mathematical Society from 2004 to 2005.
[ edit ]
On 28 July 2017, Tan was named as the next president of NUS, taking over Tan Chorh Chuan .[3] A*STAR 's board as well, taking the seat meant for the university's president.[4] [5] Monetary Authority of Singapore and National Research Foundation .[6]
In 2020, Tan said in an interview that he had plans for NUS to "tear down structures that inhibit interdisciplinarity",[7] Joanne Roberts of Yale-NUS College commenting that there were similarities between Yale-NUS and Tan's plans.[8] [9] [10]
As part of a broader plan to introduce interdisciplinary colleges, in 2021,[11] [12] [13] Singapore Parliament by various members of parliament were answered on 13 September 2021.[14] [11]
Honours and awards
[ edit ]
Tan received the Pingat Pentadbiran Awam, Emas (Public Administration Medal, Gold) in Singapore's National Day Awards 2014.[15] [16] [17] [18]
Tan was conferred the title of Knight of the French Order of the Legion of Honour on 5 July 2022, in recognition of his distinguished contributions in education and research.[19]
