On 17^th October, Professor Jiao Jun, an internationally renowned expert and the recipient of the Presidential Award for the Young Scientists of the United States, accompanied by Song Huaixin, former deputy secretary of the Higher Education Commission of Shandong Provincial Party Committee and director of the Qilu Institute of Technology Academic Committee, visited QIT. Principal Chang Chuiming, Vice President Wei Xiqi, and the relevant personnel in charge of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Experimental Center met with the guests.

During the visit, Prof. Jiao visited the Chemical and Biological Engineering Experimental Teaching Center, the Mechanical Experimental Teaching Center, and the Electrical Information Experimental Teaching Center of our school. They inquired about the construction of the laboratory, learned about the current research work and watched the demonstration of the experiment. They had in-depth exchanges and discussions with the deans and teachers of the School of Electromechanics for the experiments and research work currently carried out in the laboratory. Prof. Jiao gave a high degree of recognition to the software and hardware conditions of our school’s laboratory, and put forward many very valuable suggestions in terms of discipline construction and research directions. It will provide a good reference for the future development direction of the relevant disciplines and the next development plan of electromechanics. In the end, Prof. Jiao Jun had a discussion and exchange with the students of QIT.

Introduction of Jiao Jun:

Jiao Jun, born in July 1957, graduated from the University of Arizona with a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering in 1997. She is currently a professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Physics at Portland State University, Professor of Yangtze River Scholar, School of Physics, Shandong University.

She won the Presidential Award in 2004 (2004 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), winner of the US National Science Foundation Award; John Eliot Allen Outstanding Teaching Award, Portland State University School of Literature and Sciences). She received the Presidential Diversification Award from Portland State University in 2009 and was a member of the National Science Foundation of the United States, a member of the Department of Energy, and a member of the Scientific Committee of the US Army Research Office. As an executive member, she has drafted the US Department of Energy's "Basic Research Needs for Hydrogen Energy Economy" report and served as a member of the Virginia Governor's Green Energy Technical Committee. In 2013, Jiao Jun won the American Academy of Sciences Scientific Research Award for Outstanding Scientific Research in Physical Sciences.

In scientific research, Jiao Jun proposed the use of a combination of focused ion beam and chemical vapor deposition for the first time to position and prepare nanoscale field emission electron source; developed the method of floating electric field and electrolyte current creatively to greatly increase the success rate of controllable positioning of carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires; utilized the fine structure and conductive properties of zinc oxide and carbon nanotubes to create a high current intensity field emitter creatively; proposed and adopted electric field and electrolyte current methods for the first time to develop a variety of structure relay feedback network. She has undertaken 5 major projects and published more than 300 papers.
