Character experience
On February 7, 1940, Wei Yu was born in a military family in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. When she was young, her family moved to Nanjing and settled down. She and her sister Wei Sui were both in junior and senior high school affiliated to Nanjing Normal University. She grew up together with new China. She was the first group of young pioneers, the first group of shooters and the first group of model pilots in New China. In 1956, as a student of a high school affiliated to Nanjing Normal University, she went to Nanjing Institute of Technology (renamed Southeast University in 1988) to listen to two professors who had just returned from the United States. She mentioned that electronics has both science and engineering, which is particularly challenging and promising. In September 1957, he was admitted to the radio engineering department of Nanjing Institute of Technology (now school of information science and engineering, Southeast University). in July 1961, he was selected as an in-service master of Electronic Engineering Department of our University (now school of Electronic Science and engineering, Southeast University). In July 1965, she stayed in the university to teach after her master's degree. She was the first graduate student formally trained on a large scale in New China. She was also a graduate student who completed the whole process of postgraduate training at that time. in 1978, the first wave of going abroad after the reform and opening up, when the country selected 100 students to study abroad for the first time, 50 went to the United States and 50 went to Germany, Wei Yu became one of the 50 students to study in Germany. In February 1979, he went to Aachen University of technology in West Germany to study for a doctoral degree in the Department of electrical engineering. In June 1981, after graduating from Aachen University of technology in West Germany, she returned home. Her research shifted from electronics to biomolecular electronics, which has not yet been done in China. She opened up a new discipline. She established the first molecular and bioelectronics laboratory in China and the first "bioelectronics" doctoral program in China. In January 1982, he was the director of the Electronics Research Institute of Nanjing Institute of Technology (until June 1984). He joined the Communist Party of China in January 1983. In July 1984, he was the director of Department of Biomedical Engineering, Nanjing Institute of Technology (until December 1987). In August 1985, he served as the vice president of Nanjing Institute of technology and the first director of the Department of Biomedical Engineering (until December 1986) and the president of the Graduate School (until December 1993). In the same year, he won the second prize of science and technology progress of the State Education Commission. in December 1986, she was the president of Nanjing Institute of Technology (until May 1993). She was the second female president of China's key university at that time. In May 1993, he was appointed Vice Minister of the State Education Commission (renamed Ministry of education of the people's Republic of China in 1998) (until August 2002). In 1994, he was elected as one of the first academicians of the Chinese Academy of engineering, under the Ministry of information and Electronic Engineering (bioelectronics and bioinformation Technology). In 2001, he initiated and personally promoted the science education reform and learning science research of "learning by doing" in China, and founded hanbo.com. in August 2002, he established the learning science research center of Southeast University and served as the director of the center. in 2004, she was awarded the "UN Special Contribution Award" by UN Secretary General Annan, and was selected as "60 women who have made contributions to UNESCO in 60 years". On October 18, 2006, the French Academy of Sciences announced that Wei Yu was one of the two winners of the second international children's Science Education Award "purkwa" in 2006. In November, the inaugural meeting and the first member congress of the Chinese Society for minority education were held in Beijing, and the first council was elected. Wei Yu was elected president. In April 2007, the primary school science curriculum standard revision group headed by Wei Yu was responsible for a new round of national science curriculum standard revision. In 2008, the China Association for science and technology resumed the establishment of the China Association of women scientists and technologists. In the absence of the meeting, Wei Yu was elected chairman. in April 2017, the neuropedagogy branch of the Chinese Society for cognitive sciences was established, and Wei Yu served as the director of the Advisory Committee.
Main achievements
Achievements in scientific research
Wei Yu has worked in the field of electronics for more than 40 years and made systematic and important contributions, especially in the development of bioelectronics and the establishment of molecular electronics in China. The first batch of microwave CT, ultrasonic CT, diffraction CT and B / a nonlinear parametric tomography images of biological tissues in China have been obtained. She has established the first molecular and Biomolecular Electronics Laboratory and the first doctoral program in bioelectronics in China. In the world, the basic characteristics of molecular devices and molecular computing systems were systematically expounded, and the molecular design method of molecular devices was first adopted, which was highly valued by experts at home and abroad. She has published more than 300 papers in the field of electronics and obtained many achievements and awards in molecular assembly technology and applications.
personnel training
In 1994, Wei Yu, who went to the world bank for a meeting, heard about the new concept of "information superhighway". Wei Yu, who has studied electronics, feels sensitively that this is an important carrier of future education. Soon, the Ministry of education and the State Planning Commission formed a proposal report on the construction of "China Education and research network" for approval, and began to build "China Education and research computer network (CERNET)". After more than ten years of development, "China Education and research network" has formed a perfect system, which has greatly promoted the cultivation of talents and the development of the whole network cause in China. "Tomorrow's female teacher training" program is another beneficial attempt made by Wei Yu in utilizing distance education to benefit remote areas during her tenure in the Ministry of education. In order to change the education in remote mountainous areas, Wei Yu raised funds, got the support of Li Ka Shing Foundation, and began to select 30 rural female teachers from Guangxi to Beijing for a 20 day distance education training. As a result, these female teachers who can't even type have not only learned to type and receive the course signals transmitted by satellite, but also become confident and generous with modern technology. Therefore, the investor subsidized 10000 additional places in the program. At the same time, the state also set up rural teacher training programs in local areas. This work has a great influence in the world, so Wei Yu won the "special contribution award of the United Nations" and was selected as "60 women who have made contributions to UNESCO in 60 years". In 1995, when Wei Yu went to France to attend the conference, he found that the "learning by hand" education method introduced by France in children's science popularization education is of great significance to China's children's education, so he introduced this idea to China and established the inquiry type children's education project of "learning by doing". Since the project was officially launched in China in August 2002, great achievements have been made so far. In September 2006, the Ministry of education of China has decided to officially introduce this educational method to the whole country. Wei Yu has also made important contributions to the reform of higher education and the development of Modern Distance Education in China. He is one of the initiators of the "learning by doing" science education experimental project and the "tomorrow's little scientist" project jointly sponsored by the Ministry of education and China Association for science and technology. He has made positive contributions to youth counselors and youth work. In 2002, after retiring from the post of vice minister of education, Wei Yu established a new interdisciplinary learning science research center in Southeast University, advocating China's "learning by doing" science education reform.
