Jiang Mianheng, research fellow, tutor of doctoral candidates, and semiconductor physical scientist, is born in Yangzhou of Jiangsu in April 1951; in 1977, he graduated from the major of radiochemistry of Fudan University; in 1982, he got the master’s degree from the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and entered Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy (now the SIMIT) and worked in the amorphous silicon solar energy materials research group; in 1986, he went to the US for further study, and got the doctor’s degree in electrical engineering from Drexel University of Philadelphia in 1991, and entered the US HP for internship and work in the same year; in 1993, he returned and re-joined Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy; in 1997, he served as director of Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy; since 1999, he has served as vice president of the CAS; now, he serves as research fellow and tutor of doctoral candidates of the SIMIT, vice president of the CAS, member of the CAS party group, and concurrently the president of CAS Shanghai Branch, Executive member of COSPAR, and president of the CN-COSPAR.
Jiang’s research field is Semiconductor Physics, and is still conducting research work now in condensed matter physics; as vice president in charge of the hi-tech research and development, he has, on behalf of the CAS, participated in leading several national scientific research programs, including vice chief commander of the manned space flight project, vice chief commander of the lunar exploration program, and chief commander of Shanghai Guangyuan project; he also served as vice chief or member of the leading group of key projects in several national medium and long-term science and technology development plans.
Jiang has also organized and presided over several key research projects of the CAS, including fuel cells and hydrogen energy, coal-based synoil, small communication satellite, wireless sensor network, the CAS information-based construction, and the atmosphere environment monitoring for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Especially as chief scientist of the “Innovation No. 1” small satellite, he has organized and led the research of the “Innovation No. 1” data communication small satellite, and adopted the technical approach of integrated design of satellite, observing & controlling, and land application terminal, and thereby playing an important role in China’s micro-satellite R&D. The “Innovation No. 1” small satellite is the first micro-satellite below 100kg independently developed by China, and was successfully launched in October 2003. He won the second prize of national science and technology progress (ranking No. 1) in 2005.
