2024年11月14日，发展中国家科学院（TWAS）奖揭晓，来自中国、印度、马来西亚等13个国家的25位学者共同分享了11个科学领域（经济学、农业科学、营养学、生物学、化学、地球科学、工程学、数学、医学、物理学、社会学）的奖项，其中8位中国学者获奖。中国科学院院士、李政道讲席教授丁洪被授予2024 年 TWAS 物理、天文和空间科学奖（共享），以表彰他对发现外尔费米子和固体中其他新型拓扑相关准粒子的开创性贡献。
丁洪，上海交通大学李政道研究所副所长，李政道讲席教授。1990年毕业于上海交通大学，1995年获美国伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的物理博士。1995年至1998年在美国阿贡国家实验室作博士后。1998年至2008年在美国波士顿学院物理系历任助理教授、副教授、教授。2008年至2022年为中科院物理所的研究员。长期从事凝聚态物理的实验研究，取得了若干个具有重大国际影响力的开创性成果：1996年在铜基高温超导体发现赝能隙，2008年在铁基超导体中首次观察到s-波超导序参量，2015年在固体材料中发现外尔费米子，2018年在铁基超导中发现马约拉纳零能模。学术成果于2015年、2017年和2018年三次入选中国科学十大进展/中国十大科技进展新闻。在学术期刊上发表了超过300篇学术论文，总引用超过20000次。1999年获美国的斯隆奖，2011年被选为美国物理学会会士，2018年获欧洲先进材料奖， 2020年获中国科学院杰出科技成就奖（个人奖），2022年当选为首批新基石研究员，2023年11月当选为中国科学院院士。
“获得这项TWAS大奖对我来说是莫大的荣誉，因为它充分肯定了我在固体中发现外尔费米子和其他新型拓扑相关准粒子方面的贡献。这将进一步激励我在物质世界中发现更多难以捉摸的拓扑准粒子，特别是马约拉纳费米子和马约拉纳零能模。”
关于 TWAS
TWAS由诺贝尔奖获得者Abdus Salam于1983年发起成立，是一个非政府、非政治和非营利的国际科学组织。总部设在意大利的里雅斯特，致力于支持发展中国家开展科研活动，促进科研人员和科研机构间的交流与合作，推动基础科学和应用科学的发展。TWAS科学奖自TWAS成立起设立，旨在表彰在科学研究领域做出卓越贡献的发展中国家科学家，2016年起每两年评选一次。

In 14 November 2024, The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) awards were unveiled, with 25 scholars from 13 countries, including China, India, and Malaysia, sharing the awards in 11 scientific fields (Economics, Agriculture, Nutrition & Food Systems Sciences, Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Earth, Climate & Environmental Sciences, Engineering & Computer Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Medical & Health Sciences, Physics, Astronomy & Space Sciences, Social Sciences) of which 8 Chinese scholars were honored. Hong Ding, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, T. D. Lee Chair Professor was awarded with 2024 TWAS Award in Physics, Astronomy and Space Sciences (shared) “For his seminal contributions to discoveries of the Weyl fermion and other novel topology-related quasiparticles in solids”.
Hong Ding, T.D. Lee Chair Professor and Deputy Director of Tsung-Dao Lee Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He obtained BS degree in physics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1990 and PhD degree in physics from University of Illinois at Chicago in 1995. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Argonne National Laboratory from 1996 to 1998. He was a faculty member of Department of Physics at Boston College during 1998 - 2008. He was a Chief Scientist at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) during 2008 - 2022. He has made several significant scientific achievements, including discovery of pseudogap in cuprate superconductors, observation of s-wave superconducting gap in iron-based superconductors, discovery of Weyl fermions in solids, and discovery of Majorana zero modes in iron-based superconductors. He has published more than 300 papers with total citations over 20000. He received Sloan Research Fellowship Award in 1999, was elected as American Physical Society Fellow in 2011, received Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize (Individual Prize) of CAS in 2020, selected as New Cornerstone Investigator in 2022, and elected as an academician of CAS in 2023.

TWAS President Quarraisha Abdool Karim unveiled the names of the winners of the awards, including the TWAS Medal Lecture, during the TWAS General Meeting. In 2024, the TWAS General Meeting took place online and was coordinated by the TWAS Secretariat in Trieste, Italy.
ABOUT TWAS
TWAS, founded in 1983 by Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam, is a non-governmental, non-political and non-profit international scientific organization. Headquartered in Trieste, Italy, it is dedicated to supporting scientific research activities in developing countries, promoting exchanges and cooperation among researchers and research institutions, and advancing the development of basic and applied sciences .The TWAS Awards was established since the founding of TWAS to recognize scientists from developing countries who have made outstanding contributions to the field of scientific research and has been awarded every two years since 2016.
