What do you want to do?In the next 30 years, he wants to create a new history

On June 29, the Ministry of Education announced that the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) ("Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou)") was formally established.

It is worth noting that since the establishment of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), it has never been known as the Guangzhou Branch of the University of Science and Technology of China. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology emphasizes "the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the two schools complement each other."

"The legal person of the two universities is independent, financial independence, and equal status." Ni Mingxuan, the principal of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), said: "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Qingshui Bay, Hong Kong and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) located in Nansha, Guangzhou will jointly form 'Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 2.0 '. "

"This is not a place I want to stay for a lifetime"

Ni Mingxuan is an important planner and promoter of the University of Science and Technology of China (Guangzhou). Since joining the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2002, except for 4 years to go to Macau University as the vice president of academic academic academic University, he has been in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for 16 years.

In the 1970s, Ni Mingxuan became the first doctoral student of Professor Huang Kai and followed him to the University of Purdue from Won State University in the United States. Professor Huang Kai is one of the pioneers of the world's parallel processing of computer structure research, and Ni Mingxuan has also entered this field.

The so -called "pioneer" often means huge challenges. For example, Purdue University in 1978 was not even capable of building a parallel computer. It was not until 1983 that Huang Kai published the "Computer Structure and Harbor" that the field had the first international classic.

But Ni Mingxuan still grew rapidly. Due to the contribution of parallel and distributed systems, in 1994, Ni Mingxuan was selected as IEEE FELLOW. Four years later, he and the student's paper (The Turn Model for Adaptive Routing) was selected as one of the 41 most influential papers in the computer architecture field in the last 25 years.

Before teaching at the University of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, he was a professor of computer science and engineering at Michigan State University. During the period, he founded CC & T technology company and designed a series of online telephone -related products. It's just that in his mouth, this entrepreneurship is not successful.

"The golden time of my life is at Michigan State University." Ni Mingxuan described that Michigan State University is a "good place for supporting the family." "Later, there were many American universities invited me, but I think this is not a place I want to stay for a lifetime."

His mentor Huang Kai has been awarded the honorary title of "70 -year -old 70 -year -old Science and Technology Innovation Achievement Award", and has trained thousands of professional talents for the Chinese computer field. Ni Mingxuan also has a strong Chinese complex. During the work of Michigan State University, 13 of his 34 doctoral students came from Mainland China.

In 2002, Ni Mingxuan came to the University of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. When a friend asked him why he wanted to go to Hong Kong, he stood at the door of the dormitory and took a photo and sent it. The photo is a beautiful Shimizu Bay.

"Create a new history"

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) was the first in the Mainland and Hong Kong cooperative schools with legal person qualifications since the release of the Development Plan for the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area.

"The space of Qingshuiwan Campus is limited. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) actually gave us a chance and re -entered the runway." In the words of Ni Ming, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology must be the leader of the world trend instead of following others.

In recent years, the performance of Ni Mingxuan has been highly affirmed by the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Science and Technology University. The chairman of the school's board of directors Liao Changcheng said that the school has been affected by global epidemic and other challenges in the past two years. Ni Mingxuan played a significant role in leading the innovation teaching of the University of Science and Technology of China.

"Seeking new and changing" is a major proposition faced by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in recent years. At the beginning of 2019, when Ni Mingxuan returned to the University of Hong Kong University, the first reaction was less than 30 years.

Having a school in Guangzhou is a break of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Shi Wei, the current president of the University of Science and Technology of China, believes that Ni Mingxuan is the "most ideal candidate" who led the Hong Kong Science and Technology University (Guangzhou) to achieve the vision of "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and complement each other."

"This is a key step in the strategic development of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but it is more than limited to the university itself." Ni Mingxuan emphasized that "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 2.0" is not simply copying a campus in Guangzhou, and the relationship between the two is not the relationship between the "general school and the branch". Students can take courses on the opponent's campus through online/offline methods, and credits can be recognized by two schools. At the same time, the disciplines opened by the two universities do not overlap -Qingshuiwan Campus is mainly based on traditional disciplines, and Guangzhou campus is mainly based on fusion disciplines.

In contrast, Guangzhou campus tends to completely break the boundaries of the discipline and adopt a new form of organization. From the four major academic hub sections of functions, information, systems, and society, 16 dates are extended. The hub settings are relatively stable, and the school domain will change according to the laws of academic research, regional and the development of the times. At present, including advanced materials, artificial intelligence, intelligent transportation, fintech, etc.

"We will explore the new path of the reform of higher education paradigms and become the engine of the innovation -driven development of the Greater Bay Area." Ni Mingxuan said, "30 years ago, a group of teachers at the Hong Kong Science and Technology School created a miracle and made Hong Kong University of Science and Technology into the world into the world. First -class school. In the next 30 years, we hope to create another new history. "
