==Biography==
Tang was born in May 1963 in [[Shucheng County]], [[Anhui]] to a military family. He secondary studied at [http://www.admissions.cn/bj9z/en1.html Beijing No. 9 High School]. He completed his bachelor's degree in [[mathematics]] in 1984 from [[Peking University]] and earned his doctor's degree in mathematics from the [[University of Leeds]] in 1989. After graduation, he taught at [[Simon Fraser University]] and then obtained tenure there. In 1998, he moved to [[Hong Kong Baptist University]], and became chair professor in 2003. He was Head of [http://www.math.hkbu.edu.hk/ Department of Mathematics] during 2005–2008, Director of [https://gs.hkbu.edu.hk/ Graduate School] of the university from 2002 to 2011, Associate Vice-president of the university since 2009, and dean of science from 2011 to 2015. In May 2015, he was hired by the [[Southern University of Science and Technology]] as its vice-president.<ref name="cottage">{{cite news|url=http://www.oeeee.com/mp/a/BAAFRD00002017113059836.html |script-title=zh:南科大副校长汤涛当选中科院院士，30年来他只做了一件事 |work=oeeee.com |date=2017-12-01 |language=zh}}</ref><ref name="man">{{cite news|author1= Xiang Yuhang |author2=Zhu Hongbo |url=http://static.nfapp.southcn.com/content/201711/28/c814007.html |script-title=zh:研究计算数学40年，南科大副校长汤涛当选中国科学院院士 |work=southcn.com |date=2017-11-28 |language=zh}}</ref><ref name="cat"/> He was appointed Provost and VP Academic in May 2018.

Tang served one term as President of [http://161.64.198.10/EASIAM/officers.html the East Asia SIAM Section]. From 2008 to 2012, he served as the President of the Hong Kong Mathematical Society. Tang was the co-founding editor of a Chinese journal titled [http://www.global-sci.com/mc.html "Mathematical Culture"], which offers lively, readable, and appealing exposition on a wide range of mathematical topics in four issues each year. Tang was also one of the authors for this journal, publishing several articles including [http://www.global-sci.org/v1/mc/issues/1/no1/freepdf/39s.pdf Feng Kang's story] and [http://www.global-sci.org/v1/mc/issues/4/no2/freepdf/3.pdf Yitang Zhang's story].

In November 2017, he was elected as an academician of the [[Chinese Academy of Sciences]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.casad.cas.cn/doc/17503.html |script-title=zh:关于公布2017年中国科学院院士增选当选院士名单的公告 |work=CAS |date=2017-11-28 |language=zh}}</ref>

In February 2019, he was appointed as the President of [[United International College|BNU-HKBU UIC]]. His successor is [[Chen Zhi (sinologist)|Chen Zhi]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Senior Management-Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College |url=https://www.uic.edu.cn/en/about_us/senior_management.htm |access-date=2024-11-07 |website=www.uic.edu.cn}}</ref>
