'''Zhu Xiping''' (born 1962 in [[Shixing]], [[Guangdong]]) is a Chinese mathematician. He is a professor of [[Mathematics]] at [[Sun Yat-sen University]], China.

==Poincaré conjecture==
In 2002 and 2003, [[Grigori Perelman]] posted three [[preprint]]s to the arXiv claiming a resolution of the renowned [[Poincaré conjecture]], along with the more general [[geometrization conjecture]]. His work contained a number of notable new results on the [[Ricci flow]], although many proofs were only sketched and a number of details were unaddressed. Zhu collaborated with [[Huai-Dong Cao]] of [[Lehigh University]] in filling in the details of Perelman's work, along with reworking various elements. Their work, containing expositions of Perelman's work along with the foundational work of [[Richard S. Hamilton|Richard Hamilton]], was published in the June 2006 issue of the ''[[Asian Journal of Mathematics]]''.{{sfnm|1a1=Cao|1a2=Zhu|1y=2006}} Other notable expositions were released around the same time, one by [[John Morgan (mathematician)|John Morgan]] of [[Columbia University]] and [[Gang Tian]] of [[Princeton University]], and the other by [[Bruce Kleiner]] of [[Yale University]] and [[John Lott (mathematician)|John Lott]] of [[University of Michigan]].

Cao and Zhu later posted a version with revised wording to the arxiv, following criticism alleging that their original version claimed too much credit for themselves.{{sfnm|1a1=Cao|1a2=Zhu|1y=2006|1loc=arXiv copy}} They also published an [[erratum]], as it had been found that one of the pages of their work was essentially identical to a page from a publicly available draft of Kleiner and Lott from 2003.{{sfnm|1a1=Cao|1a2=Zhu|1y=2006|1loc=Erratum}} They explained that they had taken down some notes from Kleiner and Lott's paper. When writing their exposition, they had failed to realize these particular notes' original source.

==Morningside Medal==
In December 2004, Zhu won the [[Morningside Medal|Morningside Medal of Mathematics]] at the Third International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM), a triennial congress hosted by institutions in Mainland China, [[Taiwan]], and [[Hong Kong]] on a rotating basis.  According to ICCM,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hkedcity.net/article/project/iccm2004/iccm_e.phtml |work=The Third International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians |title=What is ICCM? |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929121959/http://www.hkedcity.net/article/project/iccm2004/iccm_e.phtml |archive-date=September 29, 2007 }}</ref> "Awardees (of the Morningside Medal) are selected by a panel of international renowned mathematicians with the aim to encourage outstanding mathematicians of Chinese descent in their pursuit of mathematical truth."
