On the 10th of this month, the US National Academy of Engineering announced the latest issue of the list of new academicians, in this co-election results, a total of 111 scholars were elected as academicians of the US Academy of Engineering, of which 22 are foreign academicians, 8 of these academicians are Chinese academicians, in addition, among the scholars elected in the United States, there is currently a very well-known entrepreneur Musk in the world, and these scholars are co-opted as academicians of the US Academy of Engineering, which can see the influence of Chinese scholars in the current world. At the same time, we can also see the difference between academicians in the United States and academicians of the two academies on the mainland.
Among the scholars elected this time, there are a total of 2 scholars with Chinese nationality, one of whom is Zhang Hongjiang, a well-known scholar and entrepreneur in the mainland, who graduated from Zhengzhou University, a famous university in the mainland, who has a high reputation at home and abroad in recent years, and he has served in well-known enterprises at home and abroad, including very top enterprise research institutions such as Microsoft Asia Research.
This scholar was the first batch of college students after the mainland resumed the college entrance examination, when he took the college entrance examination that year, the college entrance examination admission ratio in Henan was 200 to 1, from this point it can be seen that this scholar was still very good at that time, after graduating from Zhengzhou University, he entered the 54th Research Institute of the Ministry of Electronics Industry in Shijiazhuang, and because of his excellent performance during his work, after working in the institute for four years, he was sent to study at the Danish University of Science and Technology for further study.
During his further studies, he was recognized by his supervisor due to his excellent performance, and his supervisor specially requested the school to allow him to directly pursue a doctorate without a master's degree, from which it can be seen that the knowledge and scientific research ability of these scholars on the mainland brought by the work of undergraduate education and research institutes in the mainland at that time were very top-notch, and he also lived up to the expectations of his supervisor and successfully obtained a doctorate.
Another scholar is Fang Daining, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who can be said to be a top scholar trained by Nanjing University of Technology in the mainland, who has obtained bachelor's and master's degrees in Nanjing University of Technology, after which he went overseas to study, and engaged in short-term scientific research overseas, and after returning to China, he entered Tsinghua University as a worker, starting from associate professor, for a total of 14 years, as a professor of Tsinghua University for a long time.
After his work at Tsinghua University, he entered Peking University and also served as the vice dean of the school of engineering of the university, and later he successfully entered Beijing Institute of Technology and served as the vice president of Beijing Institute of Technology, and although he stepped down as vice president, he was also the director of the degree committee of Beijing Polytechnic and also served as the honorary president of Shenzhen-Beijing Polytechnic-Moscow University.
Professor Fang was co-opted as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013, and from this point of view, it can be seen that the strength of this scholar in the academic field is deeply recognized by the academic community at home and abroad. Academician Fang has held part-time jobs in many academic institutions at home and abroad, and it is certain that with the continuous progress of the mainland's scientific research strength, these top scholars in the mainland will also receive more and more international recognition. Among the remaining Chinese scholars, some of them were previously trained in the mainland and later lost overseas, and it is hoped that these scholars can return to China in the future.
