In 2019, she obtained the Ohio University Notable Alumni Award, which is a really important recognition by her alma mater for her broad profession accomplishments and helpful contributions to Ohio University and the College of Arts and Sciences. She was talked about as a notable alumna who ‘Pioneers Scientific Advances in US and Malaysia’.
Qichun Zhang is affiliated with City University of Hong Kong in China and has contributed extensively to analysis in Engineering and Materials Science.
He received this 12 months’s award for the venture Covalent Organic Polymers (COPs) and Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs), with a big emphasis on their use in energy-related gadgets.
Zhang obtained his B.S. at Nanjing University in China in 1992 and his M.S. diploma in bodily natural chemistry (natural strong lab) on the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1998, and in natural chemistry on the University of California, Los Angeles (USA).
He accomplished his Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry on the University of California, Riverside in 2007. He then joined Professor Mercouri G. Kanatzidis’s group at Northwestern University as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2007–2008). In 2009, he joined the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU, Singapore) as an assistant professor.
From 2009 to 2020, he was an assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. He joined City University of Hong Kong in 2020 as a full professor. Zhang was named a extremely cited researcher by Clarivate for 2023 and 2024. He has revealed over 632 papers and 25 patents.
Key subjects of Khwarizmi International Award included industrial and know-how administration, water administration, agriculture and pure sources, data know-how (IT) and software program engineering, biotechnology and fundamental medical sciences, metallurgical and metallurgy engineering, new energies, digital financial system improvement, mechanical engineering, synthetic intelligence, electrical and pc engineering, mechatronics, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, structure and concrete planning, chemistry know-how, nanotechnology, surroundings, fundamental sciences, and artwork.
In 1987, the main Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST), affiliated to the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, determined to institute an award, which acknowledges the excellent achievements within the discipline of science and know-how.
IROST proposed the creation of the Khwarizmi Award in reminiscence of Abu Jafar Mohammad Ibn Mousa Khwarizmi, the good Iranian Mathematician and Astronomer (770-840 C.E).
In 1987, the primary session of the Khwarizmi Award referred to as for Iranian nationals to current their excellent contribution, invention, or innovation.
The fifth session of the Khwarizmi Award noticed the creation of the overseas part, and the Khwarizmi International Award turned worldwide.
Held yearly, the Khwarizmi International Award seeks to acknowledge the efforts made by researchers, innovators, and inventors from everywhere in the world and to understand their invaluable achievements and contributions to numerous fields of science and know-how.
