Huang Qianqian, who was admitted to Peking University at the age of 17, has become the youngest doctoral supervisor of Peking University at the age of 28, and has more than 70 patents.
At the age of 30, he won the top IT award and became the only winner in Asia.
Despite receiving many high-salary offers from abroad, Huang Qianqian has always chosen to stay in her homeland and stick to her scientific research position.
So, why was she able to achieve such an achievement without going abroad?
The source of this article is from the official media [Beijing Daily], [Peking University News Network], [People's Daily], etc. (the link is attached at the end of the article). In order to improve the readability of the article, there may be polishing of the details, please read sensibly, for reference only!
Chip technology breakthroughs
In 2019, at the age of 30, Huang Qianqian received the IEEE Institute of Electronic Devices Youth Achievement Award, which is the top IT award won by only three people in the world, and she is the only winner in Asia.
The news immediately caused a huge stir in academic circles.
Her research results are expected to greatly reduce the energy consumption of chips and improve the performance of chips, which is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for the chip industry, which is currently facing energy consumption bottlenecks.
After winning the award, Huang received invitations from top universities and research institutes around the world.
Many believe that this is the perfect opportunity for her to enter the international stage.
However, to the surprise of many people, Huang Qianqian chose to continue to stay in China for development, and began to cooperate with leading domestic chip manufacturing companies, hoping to translate her research results into practical applications as soon as possible.
In fact, Huang Qianqian's achievements are far more than that, her life can be described as excellent.
In 2006, at the age of 17, Huang Qianqian was admitted to the Department of Microelectronics of the School of Information Science and Technology of Peking University with excellent results. In the face of many equally outstanding students, Huang Qianqian was not complacent, but studied harder.
At that time, many people believed that studying abroad was the only way to make a difference in the field of scientific research.
However, Huang Qianqian firmly believes that China's scientific research strength is no worse than that of foreign countries.
So, she resolutely decided to stay at Peking University to continue her doctoral studies.
In 2016, Huang Qianqian's doctoral dissertation was rated as an excellent doctoral dissertation of the Chinese Institute of Electronics.
She proposed a new ultra-low-power device design scheme, which can theoretically greatly reduce the energy consumption of chips and improve their performance, which has also made industry insiders shine.
Win the prize and get the soft
In 2017, 28-year-old Huang Qianqian ushered in an important turning point in her career.
She was hired as a researcher and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Micro-Nano Electronics of Peking University, becoming one of the youngest female doctoral supervisors at that time.
This appointment comes as a surprise to many people, because generally speaking, becoming a doctoral supervisor requires years of scientific research experience and academic accumulation.
But Huang Qianqian used her strength to prove that being young does not mean that she is incapable.
As a young mentor, Huang Qianqian is well aware of the responsibility on her shoulders.
Not only will she continue her own research, but she will also mentor students and nurture the next generation of scientific researchers.
To this end, she often works late into the night, and despite her busy work, Huang Qianqian enjoys it.
She feels that it is very rewarding to be able to pass on her knowledge and experience to her students.
In the same year, Huang Qianqian was also selected into the "China Future Female Scientist Program", which is only 4 people in the country.
In 2018, the research of Huang Qianqian made another major breakthrough.
She was supported by the National Science Foundation for Outstanding Young Scholars, and with the support of this fund, she began to work on a new ultra-low-power micro-nano electronic device.
Huang Qianqian and her team worked day and night, repeatedly experimenting and debugging.
In the end, she developed a new mechanism of ultra-low power devices, which successfully broke the international subthreshold swing record for silicon-based tunneling devices.
This achievement has caused great repercussions in the international academic community, and many well-known international scientific research institutions have cited her research results.
However, Huang Qianqian was not satisfied with theoretical research, she took the initiative to cooperate with the most advanced integrated circuit chip manufacturing enterprises in China to jointly develop the world's first complementary tunneling device integration technology based on 12-inch CMOS production line.
Seize the opportunity and be successful
In the second half of 2019, an important opportunity was placed in front of Huang Qianqian.
At that time, Huawei was facing a technological blockade by the United States and urgently needed to break through the technical bottleneck in the field of chips.
After learning about this situation, Huang Qianqian took the initiative to join Huawei's project team.
She provided her years of research results and patented technologies to Huawei free of charge, helping Huawei make major breakthroughs in chip research and development.
In Huawei's project team, Huang Qianqian has demonstrated excellent teamwork and leadership skills.
She not only contributed her own research results, but also actively coordinated the resources of all parties to promote the rapid progress of the project.
Thanks to her efforts, Huawei has successfully developed a 7-nanometer chip, which is considered a key step in breaking the technological blockade of the United States.
In 2020, Huang Qianqian's achievements were recognized again, and she won the Qiushi Outstanding Young Scholar Award and the second Xplorer Award.
At the same time, she was also selected into the Forbes China 30 Under 30 list, becoming a role model for the younger generation.
Up to now, Huang Qianqian has published more than 60 high-quality professional papers and created more than 70 patents.
Her research achievements cover a wide range of fields, including new semiconductor devices and ultra-low-power integrated circuit design, which are at the forefront of current chip technology development.
In addition to scientific research, Huang Qianqian also attaches great importance to talent training.
As a doctoral supervisor at Peking University, she has always insisted on personally guiding students and passing on her research experience and methods to the next generation.
She encourages students to be bold and creative and not to be bound by existing theories.
Under her guidance, many students have published high-level papers in top international journals.
Look at the international and catch up with and surpass the world's advanced level
In international academic exchanges, Huang Qianqian also showed outstanding talents.
Her fluency in English and in-depth expertise make her always the center of attention at international conferences.
Her speeches often sparked heated discussions, and many foreign colleagues were impressed by the young Chinese scientist.
She used her own strength to let the world see the demeanor of China's scientific and technological talents.
However, success didn't stop Huang Qianqian. She has always maintained a thirst for new knowledge.
Even when she is busy at work, she will find time to learn in other fields.
She believes that the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge can lead to unexpected innovations, and this attitude of continuous learning also affects everyone around her.
Today, with the rapid development of chip technology, scientific and technological workers like Huang Qianqian are using their wisdom and sweat to write a new chapter in China's scientific and technological development.
Their efforts are gradually narrowing the gap between China and the world's scientific and technological powers, and winning more voice and influence for China on the international scientific and technological stage.
