Awards
In 2016 he was announced as a winner of the ICTP Ramanujan Prize for that year, "in recognition of Xu's outstanding works in algebraic geometry, notably in the area of birational geometry, including works both on log canonical pairs and on Q-Fano varieties, and on the topology of singularities and their dual complexes."[1] He earned his doctorate at Princeton under János Kollár's supervision.[2]
He is one of five winners of the 2019 New Horizons Prize for Early-Career Achievement in Mathematics, associated with the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.[3]
