Since John Adams and other American founding predecessors founded the Academy of Humanities and Sciences during the War of Independence in 1780, was elected as its academician and has been regarded as one of the highest honors of the United States. There are currently about 4,000 academicians, including more than 1,250 Nobel Prize winners and more than 160 Pulitzer Prize winners. Previously, famous Chinese scholars such as Hu Shi, Qian Xuesen, Li Zhengdao , Ding Zhaozhong, Shi Yigong and other famous Chinese scholars were elected as academicians of the academy.
On April 17, inspiring good news came from across the ocean. American Academy of Humanities and Sciences has released a large list of more than 200 newly elected academicians in 2019, of which Baidu President Zhang Yaqin was elected as the academician of mathematics and physical sciences of the college . He also became the only Chinese scientist elected to Engineering and Computer Science this year.
From a genius boy to a technology giant, Zhang Yaqin's wonderful life
Genius boy Zhang Yaqin was admitted to the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 12 and became the youngest college student in . Seven years later, he graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China and went to the United States to study. 3-year-old received a Ph.D. from George Washington University in the United States, and later studied at the Harvard School of Business Administration.
Zhang Yaqin's student ID at that time
Zhang Yaqin is a world-class scientist and entrepreneur in the field of digital video and artificial intelligence . He has more than 60 US patents, published more than 500 academic papers, and published 11 monographs. He has won many professional awards and honors internationally. In 2017, he was awarded the Academician of the National Academy of Engineering (ATSE) and is also the only foreign academician awarded that year. In 1997, he was awarded the Academician of IEEE and became the youngest scientist in history to receive this honor. He also serves as a board member, honorary or visiting professor in more than a dozen world's top universities. In September 2014, Zhang Yaqin joined Baidu and served as president .
In March this year, Zhang Yaqin applied to join Baidu's retirement plan, and will retire from Baidu's company in October . Regarding life after "retirement", Zhang Yaqin once said that he would start the "3.0" of his life and devote more energy to teaching, scientific research, academic exchanges between China, the United States and Australia, and the United Nations charity projects. Of course, the most important thing is to give his family more company.
Baidu's explanation for the executive retirement plan launched is that senior managers who devote their efforts to the company and accompany the company's growth will be included in the executive retirement plan to care and care for senior managers who choose a new life due to personal wishes or family needs. Zhang Yaqin became the first executive to retire through the plan . Baidu said that in this way, it is necessary to accelerate the process of cadres’ rejuvenation and select more young people born in the 1980s and 1990s to enter the management level.
Before becoming the president of Baidu, Zhang Yaqin had worked for for Microsoft for 16 years. He has served as the world's senior vice president and chairman of Microsoft Asia Pacific R&D Group, the dean and chief scientist of Microsoft Asia Research Institute, the chairman of Microsoft China, and the global vice president of Microsoft Mobile. Before joining Microsoft, he served as director of the Multimedia Lab (1994-1998) and a senior researcher in the GTE (Verizon) Lab (1990-1993) at Sarnoff.
Chinese faces of previous academicians of the Academy of Humanities and Sciences
This is not the first time that the Academy of Humanities and Sciences has selected Chinese academicians . Last year, six Chinese were elected as academicians of the American Academy of Humanities and Sciences in 2018, including 2 foreign academicians (Nankai University President Cao Xuetao , Peking University professor Yuan Xingpei ) and 4 academicians ( MIT tenured professor and gene editing expert Zhang Feng , MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering, Nanotechnology and Energy Conversion Expert Chen Gang , Yale University Eugene Higgins Chair Professor, Stem Cell Expert Lin Haifan , Michigan State University edifice Liu Jianguo ). These six well-known experts, except for Zhang Feng, a tenured professor at the MIT School of Science and gene editing expert, have all studied experience in Chinese universities.
In 2017, many Chinese were also elected as academicians of the Academy of Humanities and Sciences. Among them, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of the Shanghai Institute of Hematology of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Chen Zhu was elected as a foreign academician, Fudan University, alumni, Stanford University, Shen Zhixun was elected as an academician. In addition, the brothers Chen Lezong and Chen Qizong, who had donated $350 million to Harvard University, were both included in the list of academicians.
In 2016, a total of 213 were selected for the 236th Academician list announced by the American Academy of Humanities and Sciences, including ten Chinese, Chinese scholars, artists elected academicians or foreign academicians. They are Shi Yang , Chinese Academy of Sciences Dean Bai Chunli , Peking University Li Ling , Peking University Yu Kongjian , Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Ye Yuru , famous conductor Yulong , and Taiwan Normal University artist Liu Guosong . Among the 213 new members that year, the winners of the Pulitzer Prize, Wolf Prize, MacArthur and Guggenheim Prize, Fields Medal , Grammy Prize and National Book Award.
It is true that the "success" of the humanities subject cannot be measured by the "useful" standards. Compared with other industries and fields, the evaluation standards of the humanities and art disciplines are more vague. In addition to major professional contributions, international popularity is also an important indicator. Just as the Academy's purpose " promotes academics to promote freedom, independence and good citizen morality " says, the American Academy of Humanities and Sciences has been engaged in extensive and interdisciplinary policy research for a long time, focusing on science, technology, global energy and security, humanities and culture and other fields. I believe that as its selection and influence deepens around the world, will further exert a positive impact on science and technology .
