时代学者汇总了部分入选学者信息,具体如下:
部分入选学者简介
黄永刚,美国西北大学冠名讲席教授,中国科学院外籍院士、美国国家工程院院士与科学院院士、英国皇家学会院士、固体力学家。1962年11月生于北京。1984年获北京大学学士,1990年获哈佛大学博士。2010年当选欧洲科学与艺术院院士,2017年当选美国国家工程院院士和欧洲科学院院士。他是美国固体力学领域75岁以下科学院或工程院院士中文章引用率最高的学者;是二十年来(1998-2017)世界固体力学领域文章引用率最高的学者;是迄今为止世界固体力学领域文章引用率最高的华人学者。2017年当选为中国科学院外籍院士。其研究领域包括可延展柔性电子器件力学,以及力学引导的确定性三维组装。
黄永刚研究材料和电子器件的力学行为,主要科技成就包括: 1) 开创了可延展无机电子器件领域:可延展电子器件能更好适应下一代电子产品便携性、形状可变性、人体适用性等需求,在健康医疗、军事国防等领域有战略性应用,是现代信息领域革新性发展方向。无机微电子材料虽可突破有机半导体材料性能瓶颈,但受变形易损和刚性基底制备的限制,使其可延展化极具挑战。他基于力学原理原创出可延展无机电子器件的分形互联导线、硅应变隔离设计等新概念,创立定量化设计理论和制备方法,使功能无机材料在器件大变形时保持很小应变,实现超过300%的器件延展率,极大拓展了器件应用范围,开辟出电子眼相机、表皮电子等多种全新器件,相关专利被工业界用于研发生产多种柔性健康监测产品。2) 创立了基于微观机制的应变梯度理论:传统塑性理论无法解释材料硬度在微纳米尺度的变化。他创立基于微观机制的应变梯度理论体系,成功解释纳米压痕实验尺度效应,成为该类实验的技术标准,被来自54个国家几百所大学、研究机构和公司所采用并广泛应用于微纳米力学性能测定。上述成果奠定并拓展了现代力学研究前沿,产生广泛而重要的学术影响。
滕锦光,香港理工大学校长及结构工程讲座教授,中国科学院院士,爱丁堡皇家学会通讯院士,香港工程科学院院士。
滕教授生于中国温州,1983年在浙江大学取得工学学士学位,其后赴澳洲悉尼大学深造,于1990年获颁授博士学位。1989至1991年间在英国爱丁堡大学先后作访问博士研究生和研究人员。1991至1994年间在澳洲詹姆士库克大学(James Cook University of North Queensland)先后任职讲师、高级讲师。1994年10月出任香港理工学院土木及结构工程学系讲师一职,及后逐步晋升至讲座教授(2005年1月)。在理大服务期间,滕教授亦曾先后担任不同的学术领导岗位,包括出任建设及地政学院副院长(2005年至2006年)、协理副校长(2006年至2010年)、建设及地政学院/建设及环境学院院长(2007年至2013年),以及可持续城市发展研究院院长(2012年至2018年)。
主要从事土木工程复合材料结构和钢结构领域的研究,曾出版专著以及两百多篇SCI期刊论文,著作为世界各地的研究人员广泛引用,而多项科研成果亦获中国、澳洲、欧洲、英国及美国的设计标准和指南所采纳。曾获国家自然科学奖二等奖、国际土木工程复合材料学会首枚学会奖章等奖项。
