Tsinghua University, one of China's top universities, has attracted the attention of every leadership change. Recently, becauseAcademician Li Luming was elected as the new president of Tsinghua UniversityThis news has aroused widespread concern.
According to the news released by Tsinghua University's WeChat *** on December 22** The appointment of the new president, Li Luming, was approved, and Wang Xiqin no longer held the position of president, but was appointed separatelyThis change will have a certain impact on the development of Tsinghua University, especially in terms of discipline development style.
Li Luming has served as deputy secretary of the Party Committee, executive vice president and dean of the School of Aerospace and Aeronautics of Tsinghua University, and has rich experience and deep understanding of the field. Therefore, his appointment is expected to further promote Tsinghua University's research and innovation in aerospace, engineering and technology. In addition, Wang Xiqin's departure has also sparked some speculation. Considering that the previous principal had just taken office last year, it was still a surprise to see the news.
Normally, the president re-election ceremony of 985 colleges and universities is attended by the vice minister-level **, but last year's president handover ceremony of Tsinghua University was presided over by the minister-level **.
During his tenure, President Wang Xiqin actively promoted the development of Tsinghua University in talent training, scientific research and innovation, and international exchanges. His new role and tasks may be related to Tsinghua University's development strategy, but the specifics have not been made public.
Academician Li Luming
Li Luming was born in Huantai, Shandong Province in February 1968, studied in Huantai No. 1 Middle School in Shandong Province, and was admitted to Tsinghua University in 1986.
As a symbol of China's comprehensive strength, Tsinghua University has attracted much attention, especially in the field of engineering. It brings together many top scientists and engineers at home and abroad, as well as leading research equipment, providing Li Luming with a broad academic platform and learning resources.
In 1996, at the age of 28, Li Luming graduated from Tsinghua University with a Ph.D., and with the dream of pursuing an academic career and engineering research, he decided to stay at his alma mater, so that he could impart knowledge and engage in engineering research at the same time.
When he was young, there was a clear gap between China's mechanical engineering field and the international advanced level, and this gap inspired him to study and research harder. During his time at Tsinghua University, he was a visiting scholar at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom, where he became aware of the gaps that China needs to catch up with in some areas, and this sense of gap has further motivated him to devote himself to academic research.
He started as a lecturer and worked his way up to associate professor, then professor, and eventually dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
However, Li Luming's career path didn't stop there. As a result of his unremitting pursuit, he was elected Vice President of Tsinghua University in September 2022 and then promoted to President again in 2023. This brilliant achievement is not only an affirmation of his personal talent, but also a recognition of his contributions to Tsinghua University over the years.
The decades he spent at Tsinghua University have seen this world-renowned university flourish.
Scientific research resultsHe is an academic leader in aerospace disciplines in China, and has long focused on the fields of ergonomics, brain pacemaker, neuromodulation, and neuroelectrical stimulation, and has made a large number of breakthrough research results.
During his academic career, Professor Li has focused on research in the fields of human-machine and environmental engineering, brain pacemakers, and neuromodulation. He is active in thinking, strives for excellence in academic research, and has achieved a large number of original research results.
Especially in the aerospace sectorProfessor Li Luming carried out in-depth scientific researchThe application of manned space high technology to the field of medical devices has created a new direction of international neuromodulation research, and successfully developed the first implantable deep brain stimulator for Parkinson's disease in China, namely a brain pacemaker
This technological breakthrough makes China the second country in the world after the United States to design, produce, manufacture and achieve clinical application of brain pacemakers.
This achievement has not only brought great progress to China's medical field, but also won Professor Li Luming the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, which is fully recognized for his outstanding scientific research contributions.
In addition,Professor Li Luming also invented technologies such as brain pacemaker software replantation and carbon nano implantation electrodes, and established an independent intellectual property rights system for neuromodulation technology related to brain pacemakersIn addition, Academician Li Luming has also made outstanding contributions to China's manned space flight.
The astronaut mass measuring instrument and astronaut ECG reading device and other equipment developed by him were equipped in China's "Tiangong-1", providing key support for the development of China's aerospace industry. During the Shen 9 mission, these devices provided an important guarantee for the health and safety of astronauts.
In addition to his outstanding achievements in academic research, Professor Li Luming is also an outstanding educator. While serving as a professor and a leader of colleges and schools at Tsinghua University, he has actively cultivated generations of outstanding students, leading the development and teaching reform of Tsinghua University in the interdisciplinary discipline of medicine and engineering.
He dared to explore innovative teaching models, and as early as 2006, he took the lead in opening the "Aerospace Medical Engineering" course, which provides students with interdisciplinary learning opportunities. His freshman seminar, "The Mystery of Flying", has also successfully cultivated many outstanding students, laying a solid foundation for their academic and professional development.
In the process of leading Tsinghua Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Professor Li Luming also actively promoted the school's teaching reform, established a weekly work exchange system between young teachers and the Party and Government Joint Committee, provided strong support for the growth of young teachers, and also enhanced the cohesion of the college.
Professor Li Luming's outstanding achievements and contributions led to his election as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2023His research has been successfully applied to hundreds of hospitals, tens of thousands of patients, and has been promoted to other countries. His academic influence and educational contributions will continue to play an important role in China's scientific and technological undertakings, inspiring more young researchers to contribute to the country's scientific and technological progress.
Li Luming delivered a speech as a teacher representative at the opening ceremony of the 2019 graduate students of Tsinghua University.
It is hoped that students will appreciate the different realms of mountains and heavens outside the mountains from the integration of literature, history and philosophy, and absorb the cultural essence that guides their thinking and behavior. Practice will continue to prove that what is generally considered to be the pursuit of 'useful' learning is likely to last only a while, while the belittled 'useless' learning will last a lifetime."
Li Luming said in his speech.
The leadership of Academician Li Luming will inject new impetus into the future development of Tsinghua University. We look forward to his leadership to further improve the quality of Tsinghua University, enhance its academic strength, cultivate more outstanding talents, and make greater contributions to China's scientific and technological progress and national development."
