DescriptionCertificate endorsing election of Wenfei Fan as a Fellow of the Royal Society, including personal details of the elected Fellow and citing the reasons for election and names of proposers. Signed off by the Executive Director of the Royal Society, Julie Maxton.
CitationWenfei Fan has made fundamental contributions to both theory and practice of data management. He has developed radically new approaches to querying big data that overcome the limits associated with conventional database systems. He has also made basic contributions to data quality that have resulted in powerful new techniques for data cleaning. In both these areas his work has found substantial international adoption by industry.

Fan has also contributed to the principles of many aspects of data including parallel data models, security, data transformation and generally to our understanding of semi-structured and graph-like data.
