Since the founding of the country, China's scientific research can be said to have made rapid progress in the results, and these results can not be separated from the scientists behind the efforts. I think the Chinese Academy of Sciences is every scientific researchers in the country are aspiring to the honor, which is not only for the researchers themselves, but also for their academic achievements of a kind of affirmation.
In the country there is a scientist in the field of defense, medical, economic and environmental protection has made a very high achievement, in her life's scientific research career 4 times was recommended but 4 times have been elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Repeatedly failed to get elected, but she did not so discouraged, but continue to focus on their own scientific research career. However, she has been elected as a foreign member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
She is materials scientist Li Aizhen, who is rarely known outside the industry due to her lack of academician title at home. Although not well known to the public, but her research results are in the defense, medical, economic and environmental protection and many other areas play a very important role. The molecular beam epitaxy equipment she researched was embargoed in the 1980s, due to foreign countries blocking the technology. Li Aizhen and the team developed a set of their own equipment belongs to China's own, not only for China's scientific research to contribute to the cause, but also to the outside world to express the Chinese people self-improvement of a kind of backbone.
In addition to molecular beam epitaxy equipment, quantum cascade lasers also lagged behind the U.S. for more than 20 years, and Ai-Zhen Li led the team to successfully open up a new field with an unconquerable spirit. At the time, it seemed unbelievable to the U.S. side, who thought it was a job that very few international laboratories could accomplish.
Li Aizhen is not only a fruitful researcher, she was also a member of the committee of the International Conference on Mid-Infrared Optoelectronic Materials and Devices, which has been held in Europe, the United States and other countries. The conference has always been held in developed countries, such as Europe and the United States, and China has never been on the list of organizers. This conference can be expected to represent the international recognition and research level of the host country. Through her efforts
