Xinhua TWO EXPERTS IN SHENZHEN TWO EXPERTS IN SHENZHEN ELECTED AS ACADEMICIANS ELECTED AS ACADEMICIANS Zhang Qian [email protected] TWO Shenzhen experts — Dr. Chen Xiangsheng, chief engi- neer of Shenzhen Metro Group, and Stephen Boyd, an American professor teaching at the Chi- nese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen — were announced yesterday as having been elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE). Like Boyd, Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and chairman of TerraPower, has also been elected as an expat academician of the CAE. Chen, a native of Hunan Prov- ince, has been in the role of chief engineer for Shenzhen Metro Group since July 2012. He is an expert in underground engineer- ing, geotechnical engineering, frozen ground technology and subway engineering. Chen is also a recipient of the State Council Special Allowance. The 61-year-old, who gradu- ated from Tsinghua University, has won multiple national, provincial and city-level tech- nology awards for his research achievements. In particular, his research on controlling the safety of the TBM method to construct subway lines under complex conditions won the first prize for the 2015 national safe production technology achieve- ment award. Boyd is among 18 expat acade- micians to be elected to the CAE this year. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineer- ing and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in the United States. The professor now teaches at Stanford University and for the Faculty of Engineer- ing at CUHK (SZ). The professor is known for his pioneering research and achievements in convex optimi- zation, a subfield of optimiza- tion that studies the problem of minimizing convex functions over convex sets, as well as his application of the theory to the fields of control, signal process- ing, finance and circuit design, among others. Since 1984, the American pro- fessor has been paying frequent visits to China. He has given over 100 lectures in China and super- vised groups of research students who were visiting scholars. Boyd has been appointed as an adviser and honorary professor at mul- tiple Chinese universities. A certificate-granting cer- emony was held at the CAE in Beijing yesterday. The CAE published the list of the 85 newly elected academi- cians on its website yesterday. The election process started in the beginning of 2017 and went through two rounds of review in June and October. The CAE and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are the country’s top two think tanks that advise the government and industry on key scientific and technological issues. Chen Xiangsheng Stephen Boyd
