    As the host of the appointment ceremony, Prof. GuoWen’gang warmly welcomed Prof. Li Zongjin, the outstanding graduate of College of Civil Engineering and Architecture. Then Prof. Luo Yaozhi, Dean of the College, gave a detailed introduction of Prof. Li's research direction and spoke highly of his academic breakthrough in recent years.


    Prof. Li Zongjin graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering, Zhejiang University in 1982 and obtained the doctorate degree from Northwestern University in the U.S. in 1993. As one of China's famous scholars with international influence, he is currently the chief professor of Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering, Macau University, professor of Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and chief scientist of National 973 Program. His research and development covers early-stage performance of concrete, interfacialproperties of fiber/ cement and aggregate/ cement, steel corrosion detection, extrusion technology-based building profiles, magnesium-based repair materials, smart sensors for transportation and bridges, and functional materials for civil engineering. Dueto his significant contribution to the research of high strength and high toughness concrete materials, Prof. Li Zongjin won 2017 ACI Arther R. Anderson Medal, the Lifetime Achievement Awardfor Scientific Research from American Concrete Institute. Prof. Li is the first Chinese scientist to receive the medal since its establishment 45 years ago.
