Shimizu Prize 2022 Winner

 

This year's Shimizu Prize will be presented to Dr. Huimin Li (deputy director of the Network Information Center of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC)  for his world-class achievements in the field of "Monte Carlo method in electron solid interaction".

Award Reason

Dr. Huimin Li has extended the Monte Carlo algorithm-based electron-material interaction model to complex geometries, making electron scattering simulations truly practical during his graduate course at the Laboratory for Microstructure of Solids, University of Science and Technology of China. His work on scanning electron microscopic imaging structural solids was one of the most important cornerstones for the development of the international standard “Microbeam analysis - Scanning electron microscopy - Method for evaluating critical dimensions by CD-SEM” (ISO 21466).

Profile of Award Winner

Dr. Huimin Li, currently working as a senior engineer at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), was born in February 1977, entered the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the USTC in 1995, joined the astrophysics class in 1998, finished his BSc thesis in Prof. Zejun Ding's lab in Nov. 1999. He joined the Physics Department, USTC in Step. 2000 to study supervised by Prof. Zejun Ding on the Monte Carlo simulation and received his PhD in condensed matter physics in Jun. 2005. He worked at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Processes, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) from Sep. 2008 to May 2011 for the development of supercomputing platform. Later he has been working on the development of the high-performance supercomputing platform at USTC. He is now a senior membership of the China Computer Federation (CCF) and an executive member of the Technical Committee of High Performance Computing (CCF TCHPC), deputy director of the Network Information Center of USTC and deputy director of the Supercomputing Center of USTC, and also an executive member of the Staff Marathon Association of USTC.

Achievements

Dr. Huimin Li was awarded the First Prize of Education and Teaching Achievement Award of the CAS, and the Second Prize of Science and Technology Progress Award of “Development of Personal High Performance Computer Based on Independent Loongson CPU and Its Basic Software and Hardware”.

About Shimizu Prize

JCMC Award Committee has given the Shimizu Prize (Shimizu Prize for Recent Breakthrough in Monte Carlo Methods and Applications) to a distinguished young scientists who had made significant progress in Computational Materials Science field. The following two research fields are especially important, "Monte Carlo Methods in Electron Spectroscopy Analysis", and "Monte Carlo Methods in Computational Materials Science Computational Materials Science". Shimizu Prize winner is selected from each research field in turn every year. Shimizu Prize candidates are nominated by and fairly judged by the JCMC Award Committee consisting of neutral experts.
