Major contribution
Academician Yukio Tamura has been working on structural wind engineering research for many years. Long-term, systematic and in-depth research on all aspects of wind resistance design of building structures has been carried out, including the basic theory of bluff potential body aerodynamics, reasonable determination of design wind speed, structural wind load provision and structural equivalent static wind load calculation, structural aerodynamic stability evaluation, preparation and revision of wind resistance design code of building structure, and wind disaster mitigation. He made a creative contribution to the rational wind-resistant design of buildings. His outstanding achievements in engineering and technology are reflected in mathematical modelling and the quantification and analysis of wind loads in building structures. Academician Yukio Tamura mainly studies the influence of wind on building structures, the compilation of basic theories and wind resistance design methods, and has achieved leading original research results, and is a world-renowned expert in structural wind engineering. Academician Yukio Tamura has published more than 300 academic papers and nearly 40 books.
Academician Yukio Tamura is a representative figure in the international wind engineering community, he served as the president of the International Association of Wind Engineering (IAWE) for 8 years from 2007 to 2015. He has also contributed to society through various social activities. Since 2009, he has founded and chaired the International Task Force on Wind Energy Disaster Risk Reduction, as one of the thematic groups chaired by the Secretariat of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. Through these disaster risk reduction activities, he provided technical advice and training to government departments, research institutions and grassroots organizations. He chairs/members of many wind engineering-related professional and advisory boards in many countries, including Japan, China and the United States. He has also been active in promoting the harmonization and harmonization of wind load codes for building structure design in various countries, especially in Asia and the Pacific region. He has been promoting a series of international advanced schools in wind engineering in many countries and regions, including China, to meet their emerging wind engineering needs in order to promote the popularization of wind engineering expertise.
Academician Yukio Tamura has maintained long-term and stable cooperation with China. It has made outstanding contributions to the training of wind engineering professionals in China. Since the 1980s, he has accepted and sponsored more than 50 students or researchers to study or research in Japan, and they have become the backbone of many Chinese universities. He has served as an honorary/advisor/visiting professor at more than 15 universities in China.
In addition to his outstanding academic research work, Academician Yukio Tamura has also contributed his wisdom to engineering applications and wind disaster mitigation in China. He provides critical guidance on the wind-resistant design of wind-sensitive structures such as the world's tallest solar towers and supertall buildings. He has participated in the preparation of relevant design codes in China.
For his outstanding academic achievements and contributions, Academician Yukio Tamura received numerous awards, including the 2004 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Jack E. Cermak Medal, the 2016 ASCE Robert H. Scanlan Medal, and the 2016 IAWE Alan Davenport Medal. In addition, for his various professional contributions, he has received other important awards, including the 634 Japan Wind Engineering Design Association Award for his contribution to the wind-resistant design of the 2015-meter-tall Tokyo Skytree.
Public number: President Yin of artificial intelligence
The Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association was incorporated in Hong Kong in 2021. The Asia-Pacific Society for Artificial Intelligence (AAIA) is an academic, non-profit, non-governmental organization voluntarily formed by 1322 academicians around the world.
After statistical analysis of the data on the official website of the global mainstream artificial intelligence society, it is found that compared with the international artificial intelligence organizations at the same level, the number and quality of academicians of the Asia-Pacific Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAIA) are far ahead.
Saihua Yin, currently the president of the Education Branch of the Asia-Pacific Society for Artificial Intelligence, holds a master's degree from Jinan University, an EMBA from City University of Hong Kong, a science and technology management scholar at Southern University of Science and Technology and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The Education Branch of the Asia-Pacific Society for Artificial Intelligence takes the top academician resources of the Asia-Pacific Society for Artificial Intelligence as its advantage, provides precise services for scholars, entrepreneurs, scientific and technological practitioners, educators, individuals, etc. related to the field of artificial intelligence, empowers comprehensive services such as education, training and certification in the industry, new engineering construction (university cooperation, talent training and laboratory construction, etc.), consulting and marketing, actively develops industry members, and builds a world-class international artificial intelligence society organization.
