On January 19, 2022, the International Computer Society (ACM) announced the list of 2021 ACM Fellows, and Li Ninghui, an alumnus of the 88th grade junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China, was selected. A total of 71 scientists from all over the world were selected. These ACM fellows have made extensive and fundamental contributions in a number of fields such as algorithms, computer teaching, cryptography, data security and privacy, medical informatics and network systems.
It is worth mentioning that Li Ninghui and his sister Li Jiayu are both alumni of the junior class of HKUST - Li Ninghui's sister Li Jiayu (8900) was also admitted to the pilot class of the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China from the same middle school. However, Li Ninghui is the brother of his sister Li Jiayu. Jiayu Li received her Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Chicago and has made great achievements in the financial world.
