Philibert Nang (born 1967[1]) is a Gabonese mathematician known for his work in algebra (D-modules, Riemann–Hilbert correspondence).
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."[2] He was awarded the African Mathematics Millennium Science Initiative-Phillip Griffiths Prize in 2017.[3]
He obtained his Ph.D. from the Pierre and Marie Curie University in 1996 under the supervision of Louis Boutet de Monvel.[4]
Nang currently serves as president of the Gabon Mathematical Society.[5]
He has been a visiting member at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics and at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.[6] He was employed as associate professor at University of Pretoria[7] in South Africa (2020-2024).
