Shengwu has been awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship for 2023.
A Sloan Research Fellowship is one of the most prestigious awards available to young researchers, recognising and rewarding those with potential to revolutionise their fields of study.
Many past Sloan Fellows have gone on to become towering figures in science. 56 Fellows have received a Nobel Prize in their respective fields, 17 have won the Fields Medal in mathematics, and 22 have won the John Bates Clark Medal in economics, including every winner since 2007.
I am thrilled that Shengwu continues to bring honour to Singapore. In 2016 Shengwu was selected to become a fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, a rare distinction recognising young scholars for their potential to advance academic wisdom. (

I don’t know whether any other Singaporean has been awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship before.
