Mr. Fan Haifu was born in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province in August 1933. He graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Peking University in 1956 and was assigned to work in the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the same year. He has long been committed to the research and application of crystal structure diffraction analysis methods, created the weight relationship that solves the phase angle problem in crystal diffraction, and introduced the direct method based on this relationship into the analysis of the crystal structure for the first time internationally. , Realize the resolution expansion of X -ray crystal and electron microscopy, analysis method, X -ray free electronic laser powder diffraction analysis method, electronic microscopic image processing, non -publicity modulation crystal structure in biological macromolecular crystals The design and application of analysis and crystal computing software have made outstanding results and contributions.

Mr. Fan Haifu was promoted to researcher in 1986. He was elected as a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (academician) in 1991. He has won many honors and awards, including the Second Prize of National Natural Science Science, the Second Prize of National Science and Technology Progress, and the TWAS Physics Award of the Third World Academy of Sciences. , He Liang Heli Science and Technology Progress Award, etc.

Speaking of the difficulties on the road of science, in Fan Haifu's view, scientists are also mortals. Like ordinary people, they have thought of shrinking when they encounter difficulties when they are young. As Fan Haifu once wrote: there are no "best" scientists in the world. However, science requires a large number of people who are willing to do their best to do things well.
