Beijing Institute of Technology professor awarded "Beijing Advanced Science and Technology Worker"


Recently, at the "Commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Beijing Association for Science and Technology, the Capital Science and Technology workers Symposium", the first batch of Beijing advanced science and technology workers list was announced, Professor Yao Yugui of the School of Physics of North Technology won the honor。

The selection of Beijing Advanced scientific and Technological workers is sponsored by the Beijing Municipal Government and undertaken by the Beijing Association for Science and Technology. The selection is held every three years, and the quota is not more than 30。The purpose is to commend the outstanding scientific and technological workers who have made patriotic dedication, outstanding achievements and outstanding contributions in the economic and social development of the capital, and encourage the majority of scientific and technological workers in the capital to innovate and compete for the lead。The selection scope is for all kinds of outstanding on-the-job and on-the-job scientific and technological workers who have made remarkable achievements and outstanding contributions to the high-quality economic and social development of the capital in the production, teaching, scientific research and science popularization of various industries and fields in the city。


With personal profile:

Yao Yugui, Distinguished Professor of the Beijing Institute of Technology, Fellow of the American Physical Society, Director of the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education, Dean of the School of Physics。Selected to the national talent program, enjoy the government's special stickers。He has won the National Natural Science Award, the Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education, the Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Beijing Natural Science Award, and the Beijing Higher Education Teaching Achievement awards,For 5 years in a row, he was selected to the list of Clarivate Avant-High Cited Scientists,2023 Awarded as "the Most Beautiful Scientific and Technological Worker" and "Scientific, technical and management talents with outstanding Contributions in Beijing"。

Professor Yao Yugui has made important contributions to the development of computational and condensed matter physics, science popularization and physics in China。He addresses key scientific issues related to Berry phase effects in materials,First principles calculation methods of abnormal transport physical quantities and topological invariants are developed,Some of the results of anomalous transport have been included in textbooks,Is one of the pioneers in the field;He has led the research of 2D topological materials such as silene,The proposed theoretical model is named;The classification of quasiparticles in crystals is completed and the encyclopedia is established,It provides theoretical guidance for searching and realizing related generative particles,Several new concepts and realization of solid quasi particles are proposed.The above systematic original achievements,It deepens our understanding of novel quantum phenomena in real complex materials,Accelerated the discovery of new quantum state materials,It has promoted the development of condensed matter and computational physics。In addition, he also led the team to develop a new method for the rapid detection of energy release performance and sensitivity based on tiny energetic materials, which is urgently needed in the country, subvert traditional detection methods, and fill the technical gap in this field。In 2022, Professor Yao Yugui led the Physics discipline of BEIT to be selected into the National First-class Discipline construction list (only 10 physics disciplines in the country, and the only basic discipline selected by the universities of MIIT),And led the School of Physics to be approved by the China Association for Science and Technology "2021-2025 National Science Education Base" (only 5 physics bases),2023 Led the science popularization team to be awarded the "National Youth Civilization",Constantly promote scientific and technological innovation and science popularization "both wings fly together.。
