Because of his contributions and achievements in the field of theoretical physics, he also won many important international academic awards, including Sakurai Award, Dirac Award, Lorenz Award and King Faisal International Science Award, and was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a foreign member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. 202 1 won the "Magnolia Memorial Award" in Shanghai. 202 1 Elected as a foreign academician of China Academy of Sciences.
Focus on the development led by Li
As the first dean of the College (hereinafter referred to as "Li College"), the professor is mainly responsible for the development planning, teaching staff construction, international cooperation and exchange of the College. And take the lead in formulating the tenth five-year plan, talent recruitment and academic activity plan of the institute.
With his contacts in many aspects, the Institute has hired 20 top international scientists to form an international academic advisory committee, which provides academic evaluation and strategic consultation on the team building, research direction, key development research fields and annual research progress of the Institute, and supports the construction and development of the Institute. Under his attraction and leadership, Li Suo made every effort to introduce leading figures and outstanding young talents from the world's top universities and famous scientific research institutions such as the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Japan and South Korea. Under his active promotion, he promoted the joint training of postdoctoral programs with foreign high-level scientific research institutions, carried out cutting-edge research, built a high-end international exchange platform, and trained outstanding young scientific and technological talents. Professor Li holds summer school and seminar on quantum frontier physics in Sweden every year. He invited internationally renowned scholars to share academic frontier reports, and at the same time selected and sponsored a group of China students and scholars to help young teachers and students broaden their international horizons and strive to show China's scientific research achievements in international academic circles.
In addition, as the chief scientist of Vilcek Quantum Center of School of Physics and Astronomy of Jiaotong University, he has attracted outstanding experts and scholars from Peking University, University of Science and Technology of China, Stockholm University, utrecht university, University of Massachusetts at amherst and other countries to work here, which has played an important role in promoting high-level international cooperation and exchanges between Chinese and foreign researchers, teachers and students in the frontier field of quantum.
Li Zhengdao Institute was established at the end of 20 16 with the support of Shanghai Jiaotong University. With the goal of "building a world-class academic institution in the fields of physics, astronomy and their interdisciplinary subjects", Li Zhengdao Institute is committed to building a world-famous source of major original innovation, a gathering place of top scientific elites that the world yearns for and a future-oriented training place for young talents in China. As the key task of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center and an important part of Zhangjiang Comprehensive National Science Center, Li Institute has gathered more than 100 researchers from six continents and 16 countries around the world, attracting nearly 200 long-term and short-term visiting scholars, more than 30 international and domestic academic conferences and nearly 200 academic reports every year in the past two years.
Pay attention to popular science and spread science.
Professor Frank Wilczek not only pays attention to scientific research and top-level design, but also attaches great importance to popularizing scientific knowledge to the public. The Chinese version of his popular science book "The Problem of Beauty: The Grand Design of Everything in the Universe" won the "Golden Book Award" issued by the National Library in 20 19, and was selected as one of the 100 excellent popular science books recommended by the Chinese Popular Science Writers Association. In recent years, he has taught in Pujiang Innovation Forum, Shanghai Popular Science Forum, Mozi Salon and other popular science platforms. , and carefully selected topics for Li Zhengdao's scientific and artistic activities in Jiaotong University for five consecutive years, which played an important leading and driving role for researchers to join in popular science work. With his support, on 20021,Li Institute started the first training course for physics teachers in middle schools, and more than ten scientific researchers from Li Institute and School of Physics and Astronomy brought simple and easy-to-understand popular science reports. This activity will be one of the series of popular science activities held by Li Institute every year, which will build a platform for communication and cooperation between Jiao Tong University and middle school physics teachers and help to cultivate young talents in China.
During the global epidemic, Frank Wilczek was temporarily unable to visit Shanghai, but he encouraged the teachers and students of the Institute many times through the Internet. In the special period, we should concentrate on scientific research, make concerted efforts with Qi Xin, and make our own contribution to the overall development of the Institute.
He is an academic giant, constantly exploring the boundaries.
He has made outstanding contributions in many research fields.
