Sun Zhiwei ({{zh|c=孙智伟|p=Sūn Zhìwěi|w=Sun Chih-wei}}, born October 16, 1965) is a Chinese mathematician, working primarily in number theory, combinatorics, and group theory. He is a professor at Nanjing University.
Biography
Sun Zhiwei was born in Huai'an, Jiangsu. Sun and his twin brother Sun Zhihong proved a theorem about what are now known as the Wall–Sun–Sun primes.{{cn|date=November 2021}}
Sun proved Sun's curious identity in 2002.{{citation

With Stephen Redmond, he posed the Redmond–Sun conjecture in 2006.
In 2013, he published a paper containing many conjectures on primes, one of which states that for any positive integer there are consecutive primes
He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Combinatorics and Number Theory.{{cn|date=November 2021}}
