The website of the National Academy of Engineering announced the list of newly selected academicians in 2021, and the list has a number of influential figures in the science and technology circle, of which 8 Chinese scholars have been selected.
On February 10, the US National Academy of Engineering announced the list of 111 newly elected academicians and 22 overseas academicians in 2022.
The U.S. Academy of Engineering is one of the four national academic institutions in the United States (the other three are the National Academy of Sciences NAS, the National Academy of Medicine NAM, and the National Science Foundation NSF).
Elected Tony Of the National Academy of Engineering is one of the highest professional honors for experts in the field of engineering, recognizing "significant contributions to engineering research, practice, education, etc.", "pioneering work in emerging fields of technology and significant contributions to traditional engineering fields", and "innovative contributions to the development/implementation of engineering education". Voting for new members takes place each year in December, and the final vote for membership takes place in January.
The 2022 class of engineering consists of 111 members and 22 foreign academicians. NAE Chairman John M. Anderson announced today that the total number of U.S. members and 310 international members has reached 2,388 after the addition of this issue. The qualifications of the new fellows will take effect at the U.S. Academy of Engineering Annual Meeting on October 2, 2022.
It is remarkable that the list includes a number of influential figures in the technology industry, including Tesla founder Elon Musk, Microsoft Chairman and CEO Nadella, Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute Chairman Zhang Hongjiang, Chinese Academy of Sciences Academician Fang Daining, LG Energy Solutions Michigan President Gray Denise, General Electric (GE.

Tesla founder Musk
Elon · Born in Pretoria, South Africa in June 1971, Musk entered Queen's College in Canada in 1990 and then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received a bachelor's degree in physics in 1995. Musk was admitted to Stanford University's Ph.D. program in materials science, but he dropped out of school after only two days of enrollment to devote himself to Silicon Valley entrepreneurship.
Musk thanked him on social networks after the news was announced
Currently, Musk has titles including, but not limited to: SpaceX founder, CEO, chief engineer; Tesla CEO, chief designer; Boring Company founder; Neuralink, OpenAI co-founder. He is currently worth about $241 billion (mostly Tesla stock) and is the richest man in the world.
Musk was named a Fellow of the American Academy of Engineering for breakthroughs in the design, engineering, manufacturing, and operation of reusable launch vehicles, sustainable transportation, and energy systems.
Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella
Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella was named a Fellow, as he was named a Fellow, because of his contributions to advancing enterprise computing infrastructure as a cloud service, as well as his international leadership in socio-technical systems and practices.
Born in 1967, Nadella earned a bachelor's degree in engineering in electronics and communications from Mengorol University in India, followed by a study in the United States, a master's degree in computer science at the University of Wisconsin, and an MBA at the University of Chicago.
In the critical period of Microsoft's transformation, Nadella, who was elected CEO of Microsoft in 2014, can be said to be able to turn the tide, leading Microsoft, which originally missed opportunities such as search and mobile, to successfully enter the enterprise and cloud computing markets. Today, Microsoft is the world's second largest public company after Apple in terms of market capitalization, with a latest market capitalization of more than $2.3 trillion.
The recent sensational Microsoft announced the acquisition of Activision Blizzard for nearly $70 billion, which is also the hand of Nadella. Nadella said in an exclusive interview with foreign media that this transaction will provide the cornerstone for the "meta-universe" business and become the core of future online interaction.
Zhang Hongjiang, chairman of Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute
22 overseas academicians, Zhang Hongjiang, chairman of Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, was elected, Zhang Hongjiang is the former chief technology officer of Microsoft Asia Pacific R&D Group and the investment partner of Beijing Source Code Capital. He was the CEO of Kingsoft, the CTO of Microsoft Asia Pacific R&D Group, the president of Microsoft Asia Engineering Institute, the vice president of Microsoft Research Asia, and became the first batch of "outstanding scientists" of Microsoft. International Computer Association (ACM) and Electrical and Electronic Engineering Association (IEEE) double academician, has won the 2010 IEEE Computer Society Technical Achievement Award and the 2012 ACM Multimedia Outstanding Technical Achievement Award, 2021 TOP 1000 top scientists in the field of computer science and electronics list, it is worth mentioning that Chinese scientists were selected 53 people, Zhang Hongjiang ranked first among Chinese mainland scientists.
At present, Dr. Zhang has published nearly 400 academic papers, holds nearly 200 international patents, and is one of the scientists with the highest impact factor in the international computer field.
He received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Zhengzhou University in 1982. He then received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Danish University of Science and Technology in 1991. As a PhD student at the Danish University of Technology, he chose remote sensing image processing as his research direction and eventually became a disciplinary leader in video retrieval and query. Zhang Hongjiang was elected on the grounds of outstanding technical contribution and leadership in the field of multimedia computing.
