137 Choosing a mentor
The next morning, Ning Xiao woke up on time, and after opening his eyes, he rarely didn't get up directly, but lay on the bed for a while.
Quietly reminisce about what I thought about in the gorgeous scene last night.
Very frustrating.
Sure enough, things are not as simple as they were described three months ago.
Again, whether it is theoretical mathematics or theoretical physics, to a certain extent, it is no longer possible to understand it by insisting on studying. And by this time, March was also not of much help.
After all, no matter how strong March is, it can only guide the theories and formulas that he once proved by its master, and if it has the strength to continue to push the theory forward, then it doesn't need to find help.
March's former owner had a wide range of hobbies and studied a lot, but he didn't understand them all after all.
What Ning Xiao can't understand at the moment, March is naturally also incomprehensible.
This probably shows that March is not omnipotent, it can produce products beyond the times by integrating all the resources of human society, according to the drawings in the stored containers, but after all, it cannot help mankind to create a theoretical basis that can be used to guide the study of the universe and the microcosm.
This actually shows that Ning Xiao has terrible self-discipline and hard work, and can even complete the learning content assigned in March ahead of schedule.
Again, this shows that it is extremely difficult to move theories forward, whether in mathematics or physics. But this is normal, as if it is common for a mathematical problem to last for hundreds of years and no one can solve it.
If you want to gain something in a few days, even Euler, Newton, Einstein, and other geniuses who have proven how great they are, they will just shake their heads and say, impossible, absolutely impossible......
In the final analysis, Ning Xiao felt frustrated, it was nothing more than that he had gone too smoothly before and floated.
If Ning Xiao could see Dominit Duncan's diary, he would probably find that that guy, like him, was still very dissatisfied with the already astonishing speed of results. Of course, this is actually to blame Ning Xiao, after all, if you use his achievements as a reference, it will indeed give rise to many illusions.
Of course, Dominit Duncan actually belongs to the kind of mathematician who has been brainwashed by Ning Xiao.
In this way, Ning Xiao lay on the bed for a while, calming his mind more calmly before getting up from the bed and preparing to wash.
When sitting in front of the computer, Ning Xiao took the initiative to open the chat window of March and took the initiative to ask: "What does your former master usually do when he is stuck in a bottleneck?" ”
Soon, the dialog box gave a response: "Meow, fall in love, teach students, or go around hitting peers." My master once said that if you hit your peers hard enough to hit them psychologically unbalanced, you can draw inspiration and strength from their negative emotions. Of course, if none of the above methods can help him get out of the bottleneck, he will also choose to change the topic and change his mind first, and then wait for the inspiration to come unexpectedly. ”
From this answer, Ning Xiao probably knew how his character of not making trouble in March was affected. After all, ordinary people really can't do this kind of thing when they fall into a research bottleneck and attack their peers. Shouldn't it be to communicate with peers?
As for falling in love......
Ning Xiao thinks it's good to go with the flow, and it seems to be an exaggeration to be able to find inspiration from love.
Teaching students doesn't seem to help him much, though. Although he is still a student, he also teaches with a group of graduate and doctoral students every Friday.
Then all that's left is to change the research topic and change the brain?
However, without waiting for Ning Xiao to ask, he sent another message in March.
"Meow, although everyone is used to it in a different way, I still have to remind you that the Friday afternoon class is not a teaching to the students, at best it can be regarded as a guide. Involving in the selection and research of students' topics in the name of the tutor may be inspired by the students' whimsical ideas; Secondly, being troubled on a certain issue for a few days or even weeks or months is not considered a bottleneck, in fact, even my former master is determined to be stuck in a research bottleneck in years. ”
Well, although this cat has always taken pleasure in beating people's self-confidence. But this time, it showed rare warmth and tolerance, and even had a taste of encouragement. In particular, the sentence that the identification of the bottleneck period is calculated in years, which somewhat reassured Ning Xiao, at least he no longer felt that there was a big problem with his IQ.
Of course, it also gave him useful ideas
- Take a few students.
If the class is not teaching students, then the meaning is obvious, March is encouraging him to consider taking a few graduate students. There are some things in Ning Xiao's personality that are still very good, such as being very willing to accept opinions.
Although theoretically he is not currently qualified to take students, after all, he is still a first-year student. Of course, in practice, there should be no big problem, and special affairs must be possible. After all, he has the dual blessing of the Fields Medal and the Turing Award, and if he gets one of these two awards, he can basically go sideways in the world academic circle.
And it's a good idea, whether it's math or theoretical physics. If you can learn it, you will be a new force in the field of scientific research in the future, and the chip R&D center and the future 10,000 acres of robot research and production base need senior talents.
In case you can't learn it...... Then they can probably only blame themselves for not working hard.
So Ning Xiao decided to talk to Chen Yonggang, and then go to learn from Lu Zhengyue, after all, he really didn't have much experience in leading students.
Without a study task, Ning Xiao didn't get up early like a war in the past, and asked people to bring breakfast with a phone call, but took the initiative to walk out of the door, walked around the playground in the school, stretched his body, and then went to the cafeteria to have a mediocre breakfast, and then called Chen Yonggang.
After learning that Chen Yonggang had arrived at the office, he paced slowly back to the school's administrative building.
……
"You're going to take graduate students?" Sure enough, Ning Xiao's request was something that Chen Yonggang didn't expect at all.
"Well, so I'm going to ask about qualifications. As for students, I suggest that there are three postgraduate summer camps in the science and engineering direction of HKSU this summer, namely mathematics, computer science and quantum physics. By the way, Dominit Duncan and Conan Lamar both have the qualifications to lead graduate students, so they are just the right instructors for this year's math and computer science summer camps, respectively. Ning Xiao said seriously.
"I can understand mathematics and computers, but we don't have a particularly good mentor at the level of quantum physics. I'm afraid I won't be able to attract any outstanding students to sign up, right? And we don't have the qualifications right now. Chen Yonggang asked uncertainly.
Really, it is definitely a very attractive thing to let the Fields Medal winner and Turing Award winner personally serve as the tutor of the postgraduate summer camp, but it is also related to the current dilemma of the university.
Although many excellent teachers have already had the intention of coming to the University, it is not easy to change jobs directly. For example, a mainstay like Fang Xu will not be able to report to HKSU until the start of the next semester at the earliest.
Some of them will not come to the University until the project at hand is completed.
Therefore, the current situation faced by the science and engineering department of the University of Hong Kong in terms of faculty is that the polarization is very serious.
Although they are ready for undergraduate education, most of the teachers' names are too unremarkable. can't attract people, and directly let Dominit Duncan and Conan Lamar be the mentors of the team, although it is a bit extravagant, but it is indeed full of gimmicks.
For a university that doesn't have many summer camps for graduate school in natural sciences, this is obviously an excellent arrangement, even if it's just for advertising.
Although the physics department has been established in cooperation with Yanbei University, it can only meet the undergraduate teaching at present, and it also needs the support of Yanbei University's faculty. Of course, Ning Xiao is also to blame. In the past, a group of professors and school executives drew a lot of pies, but they have not yet materialized.
Moreover, at that time, Ning Xiao's pie was mainly at the level of controllable nuclear fusion, which belonged to the category of nuclear engineering and high-energy physics, although it was also related to some concepts of quantum physics, but the research direction was not boundary.
Chen Yonggang has doubts, mainly because there are not many scientists in China who have made achievements in the field of microscopic quantum physics, and it is difficult to dig up.
Therefore, at present, it is not difficult to apply for graduate programs and doctoral programs in mathematics and computer science, but it is quite difficult to apply for graduate programs in physics and chemistry.
"It's okay, I can be a mentor in the Quantum Physics Summer Camp. As for the Ph.D. application, if there is any trouble, you can go to the above under my signboard. At least my sign should be working fine now, right? Ning Xiao gave a solution.
"Doctor's point? Eh, Ning Xiao, do you have any misunderstanding about applying for a doctoral program? true
At present, we only have master's degree programs in mathematics and computer science, and there are no doctoral programs. Moreover, the master's degree is already based on the high-end talents such as Professor Lu, Professor Duncan, and Professor Lamar in the school, and of course, it is more important to look at your face before it is specially approved. Moreover, the master's degree in computer science is still hanging on the side of the chip R&D center. ”
Chen Yonggang said with a smile and a smile.
Yes, he didn't expect the word doctor to pop out of Ning Xiao's mouth directly. Wanting to apply for a doctoral program with the current situation of the University is something he has never thought about. Because none of the hard requirements have been met.
"What? We don't have a Ph.D. in our strong discipline yet? Ning Xiao was also stunned.
He thought that with the joining of Lu Zhengyue, Dominit Duncan, and Conan Lamar, it would be very easy for the school to apply for a doctoral program.
"Ahem, that's the case, Ning Xiao, if you want to apply for a doctoral program, the most basic requirement is that the first-level discipline you want to apply for must first put forward a distinctive and relatively stable research direction, and the more such research directions, the better, these projects must be reviewed and approved by the expert group, which is indeed a promotion for this discipline. It is also necessary to make sure that the school is indeed capable of making achievements in these research directions.
"Secondly, to apply for a doctoral program, it is also required that the perfect subject teacher team have a relatively scientific ratio, which includes not only the requirements for the composition of various professional titles, but also the academic requirements for lecturers and professors, such as full-time teachers, the proportion of doctoral degree teachers cannot be less than a certain proportion. In principle, there are also certain years of requirements for those who have obtained the qualification for the award of master's degrees, and can prove that these master's students are excellent enough.
After these two standards, it is necessary to count whether the scientific research achievements of the relevant disciplines in the last five years have reached the standards, and of course, there are also some requirements such as R&D funds, training funds and international academic contributions. That's all there is to say. Therefore, if it develops normally, and you continue to make efforts in mathematics and computer science, I don't think it will be a big problem to evaluate doctoral programs in three years. But in physics, you have to go directly to a master's degree or a doctorate, which is indeed a bit difficult for strong people. ”
Ning Xiao frowned, then shook his head and said, "Principal Chen, this can't be done. We obviously have the strength to train doctoral students, why only have master's degrees? This is one of them, and the second is that even in physics and chemistry, we also have the ability to train doctors, so of course we should take the initiative to apply for doctoral programs. Except for the requirements you mentioned, it may take time to perfect, but the other conditions are very simple.
I can immediately prescribe six research directions for the future and find experts to review. Even if the faculty is short-term, it is not impossible to solve. In this way, I can personally take out 10 billion yuan of special research and development funds for physical and natural sciences to build laboratories and increase experimental equipment for professors who are willing to come, and this money will arrive in the account within two months. Use this money to attract capable mentors to fill our faculty, and you always need money to do research, right? No other school can provide such an abundant allocation of funds as the University of Hong Kong, right? If that's not enough, I can add more. But this year, we have to build all the doctoral programs. ”
Chen Yonggang was stunned.
Of course, he knew that Ning Xiao was capable of coming up with this money, after all, the members of the delegation of those high-tech companies had not left yet. He also probably knew from the person in charge of the negotiation how much compensation Ning Xiao could get.
More than 300 billion US dollars, converted into RMB is about 2 trillion.
Even if this money is attributed to the economic compensation income of patent rights, and 45% of the personal income tax needs to be paid, then Ning Xiao can still get 1.05 trillion yuan. Theoretically, this money belongs to Ning Xiao's personal wealth, after all, the turbulence algorithm has nothing to do with the school.
Now hearing that Ning Xiao is willing to donate 10 billion yuan to the school for free as a special research and development fund for natural sciences, Chen Yonggang really admires Ning Xiao's generosity.
Of course, my heart was even hotter, and I even swallowed my saliva subconsciously.
Although there is a lot of momentum to dig people now, there is some momentum of wealth, but it is obviously still collected. After all, it is impossible to recklessly take money to smash the school if it wants to be built, but with this 10 billion special funds, even the professors of Yanbei and Huaqing next to them can think about it.
So Chen Yonggang quickly responded: "If that's the case, we should have no problem working hard." ”
Ning Xiao nodded, and then asked, "In addition, if I want to be a doctoral supervisor, I will see it."
The mandatory criterion is a minimum of a master's degree. My goal is to accept students in mathematics, computer science and quantum physics, do I need a master's degree in these three directions? ”
Chen Yonggang looked at Ning Xiao, and suddenly got stuck on this issue, because he suddenly didn't know how to deal with this matter.
Ning Xiao didn't say that he wanted to take students before, and he didn't think about this problem.
Now that it was suddenly brought up, Chen Yonggang suddenly found that this matter was quite ridiculous.
After all, this situation is so special that this kind of thing has never happened before. No one in the world has ever won the Turing Award and the Fields Medal in their first year of college.
Ning Xiao should consider going directly to the academician now, but he has not yet obtained a bachelor's degree.
This is purely a bug.
"Well, this should be something special. But to be honest, Ning Xiao, it's really boring for you to be a student now. It's not good that the students you accept in the future are already master's degrees, and you are still a freshman. It's too messy. It's better to go through the motions, you can prepare a few papers casually, and let's go through the process after leaving a file. Directly get the bachelor's and master's degree certificates of the University of Physical Education.
Of course, we don't have a doctoral degree now, if you want to get your doctoral diploma in these two months, just take the path of Yanbei University and get the doctoral diploma of Yanbei University directly. Then the University of Hong Kong directly hires you as a tenured professor and directly enjoys the treatment of a full professor. Wait for the end of the year in the last academician, save this matter from procrastination. No one cares about that anyway. ”
Ning Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." But do I need a mentor to go through the motions? ”
This problem made the office quiet again, and Chen Yonggang encountered this situation for the first time, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
In the past, an undergraduate student who had gone against the sky in Huaxia solved a worldwide mathematical problem in his junior year, and the school's way of dealing with it was to let him graduate early, and at the same time, a doctoral supervisor of the school directly accepted him as a master's and doctoral student and awarded the title of ten-year genius full professor-level researcher.
But Ning Xiao's situation is different.
As long as he is willing, no one will talk nonsense about awarding full professors after graduating from the bachelor's degree, but it is very interesting who will be Ning Xiao's master's and doctoral tutor.
Theoretically, it's okay to graduate without a mentor, but then again, it's not good to waste the title of Fields Medalist mentor. If you use it well, you may be able to become a bargaining chip for the big guy......
"I think it's okay to find a professor to go through the motions...... Chen Yonggang said tentatively, he has to take care of Ning Xiao's thoughts, after all, even he thinks that no doctoral supervisor in Huaxia has the qualifications to be Ning Xiao's tutor at present, at least in the two directions of mathematics and computer theory.
In the field of quantum physics, Ning Xiao has never published a paper, and Chen Yonggang does not know how deep Ning Xiao's research in this direction is.
"Oh, let's go through the motions, the tutor school will recommend you?" Ning Xiao nodded, he didn't feel offended by the fact that he was looking for someone to be a mentor.
"Ning Xiao, if you don't mind finding a mentor, you can choose for yourself. You are an expert in these research fields, and you should know better than us whose professors have a promising research direction. When the students of the other party always have to see one or two sides, it is just right to pull us to the university and supplement our teachers, what do you think? Chen Yonggang gave his opinion.
Ning Xiao suddenly realized that this plan was indeed feasible.
The camaraderie between teachers and students is an excellent excuse to change jobs.
"Well, in this case, I will take three doctorates and take the path of master's and doctoral studies, and only need three undergraduate theses and three doctoral dissertations. Two months is enough, and our summer camp is scheduled for early August. Just enough time to sign up. In addition, we have to hurry up and fight for a doctoral degree. ”
"No problem, I will organize a meeting of these three departments today, and after determining the research direction, I will submit the application within this week."
With 10 billion special R&D funds, Chen Yonggang only felt high-spirited at this time. After all, the investment of this money made his voice two octaves higher when he smashed people.
……
After confirming what to do next with Chen Yonggang, Ning Xiao returned to his office first, and Ge Dongshu sent a message on WeChat, saying that he was coming
Discuss with him face-to-face about the robot development plan. Ning Xiao replied to the message and made an appointment until two o'clock in the afternoon.
This is also a must.
Ning Xiao can understand the worries of Youwei Group itself.
Everyone can see the prospect of the humanoid robot industry, and if you can really make a humanoid robot with enough dexterity, the prospect can be seen. Even if it is only half the dexterity of a human hand, it can be used in many industrial fields and laboratory environments.
This is especially true in areas where the risk is extremely high, or where the environment is not friendly to carbon-based organisms.
For example, geological exploration, all kinds of toxic and harmful chemical fields, and dangerous environments to face strong radiation, and even military fields.
But the reality is that there is a company that has been working in this direction, but the answer sheet handed over is not satisfactory.
At least at this stage, humanoid robots are far less profitable than those dedicated robots. For example, the robotic arm on the assembly line is automated production, and the wheeled robot is used to guide and serve......
In short, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.
However, Youwei Group clearly seemed to be a good partner in March. However, unlike others, Ning Xiao knows very well that March is not interested in Youwei Group's R&D capabilities, but its strong execution.
There is a group of high-quality scientific research talents, coupled with strong execution, to promote the role of robot projects can play a role is undoubted.
More importantly, March can also integrate the upstream and downstream industrial chains through the promising group. This saves a lot of time.
Of course, these are all conclusions drawn by Ning Xiao from observing March's daily style.
The optimal choice naturally includes the choice of partners.
What he had to do was to convince Ge Dongshu to participate in this huge plan, and Ning Xiao was still very confident in this.
After all, it has already been successful once.
It is as if Youwei Group took the initiative to give up the telecommunications equipment business in the European and American markets, and now it has also obtained rich returns, while occupying almost half of the Chinese market, it can now regain a firm foothold in the European and American markets. A lot of news has been pushed in March these days, and Youwei Group has won three big orders in succession in the opposite country.
This is one of the reasons why Cisco, Ericsson, Samsung, Lokia, and so on did not choose to fight a tug-of-war, but to compromise quickly.
After all, the negotiations here have dragged on for too long, not only affecting the orders they have signed, but also handing over the market that could have been won. After all, many of the telecommunications equipment markets were originally grabbed by them from Youwei Group.
After determining the time to meet Ge Dongshu, Ning Xiao sat down in front of the computer and asked March to list the qualifications to be his direct doctoral tutor in three subjects.
Although March does not have the ability to conduct theoretical research, the cat's ability to collect data and analyze and judge is still very strong.
There is no need for Ning Xiao to go to the official website of each university to see the profiles written by those tutors themselves, you can directly list a table, including the papers published by these tutors in high-level journals and the number of citations, which high-level academic conferences they have been invited to attend, the honors they have won and the projects they are applying for, or projects in progress, and even through comparison, you can find many evaluations about the tutor's personal character and style......
Of course, from Ning Xiao's point of view, he doesn't really need the other party to have the aura of an academician, but he doesn't look down on academicians. The main reason is that the body is not bad for money, and not bad money means that there is no bad project, and there is no shortage of guides, so there is no need to recruit too many academicians to preside over the work.
This point is obviously consistent with Ning Xiao's judgment, and most of the list of tutors listed are professors who are in the prime of life and are making grades.
For example, the first mathematics tutor recommended in March is a researcher Deng Hongbin at the Institute of Mathematics of Shuangdan University, who is only 35 years old this year and has just obtained the qualification of a doctoral student this year, and his main research direction is the invariance principle of the maximum position process of branched Brownian motion in a stochastic environment.
March's recommendation was based on the fact that Deng Hongbin was a buried mathematician, and his current research area was also helpful for ongoing robotics and could provide cover for noise-canceling algorithms. And its own ability is very strong, but it is not very good at management and expression. If you can get help,
The likelihood of greater success in the future is extremely high.
Yes, March clearly values the potential of his past academic achievements more than the already established mathematicians. Of course, this potential is also relatively speaking, and being able to become a doctoral supervisor of a 985 university at the age of 35 is enough to show its research strength.
The only regret is that he belongs to the researcher sequence, and coming to HKSU is not of much help to the construction of undergraduate faculty. The Fellows do not need to substitute for undergraduates, and they have little teaching experience.
If he could, Ning Xiaozhi felt that this person was more suitable to directly fund and poach people.
After all, this researcher is also unmarried at the moment, and he won't have much nostalgia for Mingzhu in the future.
In second place is Professor Fang Xu of Yanbei University, Ning Xiao naturally ignored it directly, and there was no need to think about those who were going to come next semester, and in third place was Chen Lili, an associate professor of the School of Mathematics of Huaqing University, 39 years old this year, whose research direction is mainly geometric analysis.
However, Chen Ideal is currently only an associate professor, and there are only two doctoral places, but according to the introduction of Huaqing Graduate Student Network, it just so happens that this professor has another doctoral place this year.
Of course, the reason for the recommendation given in March is also more realistic, although Chen Li is only an associate professor for the time being, but that is because the elder is more persistent, and the research topic is the extremely difficult Hamilton-Tian conjecture and the partial zero-order estimation conjecture in the field of geometric analysis.
Moreover, according to the analysis of Chen Ideal's published paper in March, he will be able to solve the problems that have plagued the world for more than 20 years in this field of geometric analysis in another three or five years. At that time, it will not be a big problem to evaluate an academician.
Coincidentally, Ning Xiao happens to be familiar with this direction, and there are many new ideas and methods that can solve the problem of convergence of high-dimensional Kellerridge flow, so as to solve these two problems.
With Ning Xiao's help, this year may be able to solve the problem that Chen Ideal is studying. Not to mention, it is not a big problem to win a Wiblen Geometry Award internationally. With the blessing of the award, coupled with its own strength, bringing people in, it can be regarded as adding a future academician to the School of Mathematics of the University of Hong Kong.
Moreover, Chen Lili's own mathematical strength is there, and it can't be said that it can also give Ning Xiao some inspiration.
In particular, the photo on his official website of Huaqing Academy of Mathematical Sciences happens to be holding a cat.
Of course, for Ning Xiao, none of this mattered.
Being able to dig up a promising professor from Huaqing, Ning Xiao still felt very happy.
So after reading the introduction provided by March, Ning Xiao picked up the phone without hesitation.
Since he promised Chen Yonggang to go through the process, he naturally had to follow the rules.
If you want to study a graduate student with a doctoral supervisor, you must naturally communicate with the doctoral supervisor first.
But no one answered the phone the first time......
Well, this is the first time that Ning Xiao has called a professor since he came to the University of Sports to get this kind of treatment, but it is not surprising that he himself will turn his mobile phone to silent when he is studying. So Ning Xiao simply called the office number provided again.
This time, after five or six rings, someone finally answered.
"Hey, who's that?"
The tone was not very polite, and Ning Xiao felt a kind of anger at being disturbed.
"Hello, I'm Ning Xiao, is it Professor Chen Ideal?"
"Ah, I am. Well...... Well? Ningxiao? Which is Ningxiao? The big one? ”
"Well, actually, I used to be a student of Huaqing." Ning Xiao said very pertinently, but it was obvious that it was obviously a very failed topic to pull in the relationship between the two in this way, because the other party was directly speechless......
"Ah...... This, rather than teaching...... Ah, well, classmate Ning, do you have something to do with me? ”
"That's right, Professor Chen, I'm going to get a Ph.D., and I need a supervisor. I happen to see that your research direction is the Hamilton-Tian conjecture and the partial zero-order estimation conjecture, and I have a lot of experience in this research direction, and I can write a precursor paper on the convergence of high-dimensional Kellerridge flow as my doctoral thesis. If nothing else, my dissertation should help you with your ongoing research project, and some of the new ideas I offer can be used in the study of average curvature flow to solve the extension conjecture. ”
……
Hear the call
The voice that came from inside, Chen Ideal felt like he was dreaming.
No, he suspected that he was dreaming, because he really didn't quite figure out how Ning Xiao had turned to his information as an associate professor. I can't figure it out, with the current relationship between Ning Xiao and Huaqing, how could they flip through Huaqing's graduate school network and then find their own information.
However, he soon calmed himself down, but was still a little unsettled when he started again.
"I ...... Well...... Wait, let me slow down. Do you mean to find a Ph.D. supervisor, get a Ph.D., your Ph.D. dissertation is ready, and you're sure your dissertation will help solve my current problem? ”
Soon the other side gave a concise answer: "That's right." ”
To say that the heart is not hot at this time is absolutely fake, but it doesn't feel so real.
Chen has been choosing this topic for 6 years, and in fact his doctoral dissertation is a related topic. If you count it that way, it's been almost ten years. If Ning Xiao's doctoral dissertation can really give him some guidance and solve this problem completely, it will naturally be something he dreams of.
The most important thing is that he believes that Ning Xiao may really be able to do it.
After all, it was a freshly baked Fields Medal winner who called him.
Moreover, it has long been spread throughout the academic circles that Fang Xu was able to complete the Outstanding Youth Project so quickly, all of which relied on the guidance given by Ning Xiao and a preliminary paper.
The phone call gave him the feeling that a pie had suddenly hit his head, and it was inevitable that it would feel unreal.
Not to mention being a doctoral supervisor in mathematics for a Fields Medal winner in mathematics, which is completely beyond the limits of Chen's imagination.
But when he spoke again, his tone subconsciously softened: "Eh, Ning Xiao, do you have any specific requirements?" ”
Really, it's not that there is no mentor's card, Che Li really feels that if Ning Xiao doesn't ask for it at all, he wants to be his doctoral student, which makes him feel unacceptable at all.
"Well, it's a bit of a small request. You know, I don't have a good relationship with Huaqing, and I don't really want to get a diploma from Huaqing University, so I hope you can bring the subject to the university. I'll go back and tell Principal Chen that your benefits will remain the same, and I can also help you secure a fund for the university's mathematics research and development. When you finish the project at hand this year, you can be promoted to full professor, and you don't have to wait. There is still a place here in the School of Mathematics of the University of Physical Education. ”
Well, after listening to this request, Chen Lili's mood finally calmed down a little.
I don't think this request is too much, anyway, Yanbei Sports University is next door. And he is just an associate professor in Huaqing. Especially when he thought that he could quickly solve the problem that had been bothering him for six years, he couldn't help but feel emotionally restless.
However, reason still made him can't help but ask: "Ning Xiao, your mathematics department has just opened and has a doctoral program?" ”
"For the time being, there is indeed none, only a master's degree, but it will definitely be done this month. To tell you the truth, we at Yanbei Sports University are about to invest 10 billion yuan in special natural science research funds, mainly in the fields of mathematics, computer science and physics. Moreover, the school now has a large supercomputing center, several new laboratories, and the largest chip R&D center in Asia, as well as two Fields winners, so we will definitely be successful in applying for a doctoral program in mathematics and computer science within a month. Only the PhD point in physics is slightly more troublesome, but there is definitely a solution. ”
Chen Li took a deep breath.
At this time, the associate professor's mood was not much better than Chen Yonggang's.
In fact, no matter which professor hears about the investment of 10 billion yuan in special scientific research, this will be the reaction.
Huaqing University's state financial allocation this year is only more than 5 billion. Of course, Huaqing has other incomes, and the final account funds are more than 27 billion, but there are too many areas where these funds are used. In particular, the education sector is the largest part of the expenditure, accounting for almost 90 percent of the final account funds.
Every year, the university can invest about 700 million or 800 million yuan in scientific research.
It's a pity that there are a lot of laboratories in the school, and everyone can get tens of millions of points if they share one more point, which are all very powerful characters.
Now the body is big enough to smash out 10 billion in one go, and there are only three parties
It has always been ......
In addition, if you just want three doctoral programs, if Chen Li is a member of the expert group, he can't say anything against it.
It's just that the wealth is big, and there are the world's youngest Fields Medalists in mathematics and Turing Award winners sitting on the stage, and whoever opposes it must directly face the thickest leg in the future academic world, unless the brain is disabled, it will be directly opposed.
"Well, I don't have a problem personally, but you know I'm still taking a sophomore geometry analysis course......"
"Professor Chen, don't worry, as long as you decide to be my mentor, we will find a way here. And it's the end of the semester, and there are only a few classes left, so you can come to the university this summer. We'll just go through the process when the time comes. I also took advantage of this time to prepare my undergraduate thesis. Do you think it's okay? ”
"Okay!" Chen Li didn't even think about it, and responded directly.
If he can't grasp this kind of opportunity falling from the sky, Chen Ideal feels that he can't forgive himself in this life.
It's not that I don't want to be hypocritical, it's that I don't dare to be hypocritical at all......
Chen Li believes that Ning Xiao's list of candidate mentors is definitely not only him, in case he says that he needs to think about it, Ning Xiao calls someone else, and the other party does not talk about martial arts, so he immediately agrees, and he goes to find someone to cry It is estimated that others will not believe him.
"That's it, Professor Chen. I'm waiting for you at the University if you run into any problems during the resignation process...... I will give you Academician Lu's phone number, and you can contact him directly. I'll say hi to him later, and he'll help you with all your questions. ”
"Uh...... Actually, I have Director Lu's phone number. ”
"That's the best, goodbye, Director Chen."
"Don't dare, don't dare, goodbye, classmate Ning."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ideal glanced at the phone, and then at the manuscript paper that he had just written......
Well, at this time, the excitement is still dominant, and I can't calm down and continue to calculate.
After sitting in the position and calming down for a moment, Chen Ideal took a deep breath and picked up his mobile phone.
first saved the missed calls on his mobile phone, then opened WeChat, opened his student group, and then directly @ the group owner, who is currently the only doctoral student who is taking it: "Xiao Li, notify everyone to come to my office for a meeting in half an hour." Very important meetings, related to your graduation certificate, no leave is allowed. ”
UndergraduatesWell, the graduate students he takes have to give them an explanation.
Whether to follow him to grow up, or stay in Huaqing, these depend on personal choice.
Seeing that there was a reply on WeChat, he took a deep breath and dialed the phone number of the director of the college: "Hey, Director Luo, there is something I need to report to you." ”
