Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 249: Go and receive the award

Views:

At the same time, even if Jin Da cannot take advantage of this quota, it will not disappear out of thin air. Under the conditions of equal ability, Chinese professors are more inclined to recruit Chinese international students. This is almost a norm (there are counterexamples).

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then he sighed softly.

The phone call notifying you of your winnings usually comes a few minutes before the draw. Therefore, the Nobel Prize call can be said to be one of the most anticipated calls in the world. In just a few minutes, it can make people feel like a bungee jumping.

Meanwhile, the prize is half a million dollars.

After all, talents are not RMB, and keeping them in your pocket will not add value. Only leaders born as political workers like to do this kind of thing.

This time the caller was not from a stranger, but from Old Tang.

Although the tone was just an understatement, Old Tang was filled with emotion in his heart.

In this email from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in addition to an electronic invitation letter attached, the above content is mainly a written restatement of what was said in the previous phone call.

Until the day you actually get a call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

"Did you prove Goldbach's conjecture?!"

In fact, the reason Lu Zhou won the award was not because of Goldbach's conjecture, but because of his series of research in the field of prime numbers. However, the paper published in the "Annals of Mathematics" a few days ago refreshed his list of achievements again.

"You have now completed your doctorate. Although the school is not in a hurry for you to come back, there is still a graduation certificate and degree certificate waiting for you. Principal Xu and Director Lu are both urging me to ask you. I I asked them for them, when do you plan to come back and complete this PhD degree?"

He originally thought that his paper would only kill a few unfinished papers, but he didn't expect that it would disrupt the conference at his alma mater.

When the time is almost up, he will naturally go back.

They'll start saying to you, "Hey, you might win the Nobel Prize." And then from the first week of October, you'll start having insomnia and be extremely sensitive to any ring, even if it's your neighbor's phone. It will also make you suspicious...

Two hours after receiving the call, Lu Zhou received an email from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in his mailbox.

Supporting policies include the introduction of overseas talents, such as the Thousand Talents Plan and so on.

Originally, I actually still had a teaching position, but now it seems I can take a break.

Just when Lu Zhou closed his email and took out the PPT he used for the Princeton report, and was about to revise it and use it again, another phone call suddenly came through.

As for Lu Zhou's intention to stay at Princeton as a professor, the school absolutely supports it.

Tang Zhiwei was very pleased with this student and felt proud of him from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Receive the award."

This year, it is the turn of the fields of astronomy and mathematics, which will be awarded to the most outstanding contributors in the field in recent times.

"This... is so embarrassing."

In fact, many presidents who were born in scientific research know well that no matter how much investment domestic universities invest in talent training, the hematopoietic ability of cutting-edge scientific researchers is definitely incomparable to that of world-famous universities like Princeton.

As for why you say that

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously.

Jinling University and Princeton University signed a joint training plan for Lu Zhou. After completing his doctorate at Princeton, Lu Zhou could get a doctorate from Jinling University after returning to China to give a lecture.

Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly.

And his name is on this list.

The fate turned out to be so wonderful.

It can even be said that it is very strong.

Hearing what Old Tang said, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

In just a few years, he has grown to what he is now.

As for the mathematics prize, naturally he is the only one.

As for the reporting time, it is naturally one hour.

When Lu Zhou asked him about the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers in the cafeteria, he suggested that Lu Zhou not think about these things and concentrate on developing functional analysis and applied mathematics.

However, JJTU's relief was unnecessary. Lu Zhou had a lot to learn, and he also needed overseas scientific research experience. At the same time, Princeton's various resources could also help him complete system tasks.

He only remembered that Witten smiled and patted his shoulder and said congratulations to him. Then when he came to his senses, he was already sitting in his office and turned on the computer.

Although I don’t know how they knew their email accounts, considering that they can even get their personal phone numbers, it doesn’t seem that difficult to get just an email account.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. He was sure that the call he just received was not some new type of fraud or a belated April Fool's Day joke. The stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

After logging into the official website of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Lu Zhou finally saw the list of Crafford Prize published on the official website after refreshing it several times.

Like the Nobel Prize, the Crafford Prize, which is also selected and awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, usually announces the winner suddenly a few minutes before the draw. So much so that Lu Zhou, who was having dinner with Witten, was disturbed by the sudden call. Caught off guard.

Encouraging talents to gain scientific research nutrients on higher-level platforms has also been a long-standing talent training policy of major universities.

Because the original intention of setting up this award is to fill the gap of the Nobel Prize, both the process and the specifications of the award ceremony are in accordance with the standards of the Nobel Prize.

As for why he, who had never expected the Nobel Prize, experienced the thrill of bungee jumping in just one minute...

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and replied, "I'm going to Stockholm soon, but it won't be long, I'll be back in early June."

Because unfortunately, the person who came to him obviously couldn't be Nobel...

Now that the news of winning the award was confirmed, there was only one thing he was curious about.

To give the simplest example, if scholars from JJTU can become professors at Princeton, then JJTU will be able to produce at least one more international student from Princeton every once in a while (in principle, only one foreign correspondent from the same university is allowed). This quota was almost non-existent in previous years.

Even if you can't invite them back when you're young, you can still stay there and train a few more international students for your motherland.

The award scope includes astronomy, mathematics, earth sciences and life sciences that are not covered by the Nobel Prize. The awarding mechanism is selected once a year and rotates between astronomy and mathematics, earth sciences, and biological sciences.

Old Tang smiled and continued on without continuing on this topic.

But Crawford.

Lu Zhou was a little dazed by the five hundred thousand dollars and medals that suddenly jumped from the sky. He couldn't even remember how he got back to the office from the cafeteria.

When Lu Zhou received this call, his heart felt like a bungee jumping in just one minute.

This half a million dollar bonus.

Well, actually the Crawford Award is not bad either.

As soon as the call was connected, a familiar voice came from the opposite side.

After all, he is a nostalgic person.

For another example, as part of the celebration of the Crafford Prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences also held a three-day academic exchange meeting and invited him to give a special report on the winners at the exchange meeting.

For example, the time of the award ceremony and the banquet after the award ceremony.

After all, whether it is on the professor profile page of Princeton University's official website or in Arxiv's personal information, he has his own email account.

Therefore, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences added the achievement of Goldbach-Lu Theorem to the profile of the winners published on the official website.

"...Nothing, just a little surprised." After a moment of pause, Old Tang smiled and continued, "Today, there was a meeting in the mathematics department. In the middle of the meeting, suddenly a copy of the "Annual Review of Mathematics" came in. Originally, we We were still discussing this year’s enrollment plan, but in the second half of the meeting, all the topics discussed were about you.”

In addition to the Swedish surprise, the main reason for doing this is to ensure that the winners will not show off in advance and destroy the expectations of all mankind or scientific researchers in the entire society.

And this is the so-called "send it out first, and then invite it back."

As for the other two winners, they are Professor Roy Kerr of the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and Professor Roger Blandford of Stanford University in the United States. The two shared the Astronomy Award for their significant contributions to the study of "black holes with angular momentum and their effects"...

Martin Chalfie, winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, once said in an interview that if you are lucky enough to make some achievements, people will do a terrible thing to you -

How much does it cost to convert into RMB

Whether it is academic environment or hardware equipment, this gap cannot be changed overnight. Just like solving a major mathematical problem, everything requires the efforts of several generations.

"Stockholm?" Old Tang was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Why are you going to Sweden?"

And it’s such an achievement that cannot be ignored.

Then, Lu Zhou casually closed the web page of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and opened another web page.

The award was established in 1980 with donations from industrialist Holger Crafford and his wife Anna Greta Crafford. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is responsible for its selection. Although it is less valuable in the mathematics community than the three major awards, it is In the larger collection of natural sciences, it has the reputation of being a small Nobel Prize.
