Actually, I thought about it when I first saw the news. After all, it is not so easy for an ordinary undergraduate to be listed as an internationally renowned professor, and it can also be personally pointed out by the bosses who have been cited by Google for more than 65,438+10,000. But even the second generation students or other backgrounds guessed by others cannot hide the fact that his article is scientific. * * * The same work itself is the best proof of his actual contribution to this work. Moreover, an undergraduate student has made achievements in science, and the training he received is beyond the reach of more than 99% students.
Second, Li Xianming's love and talent for organic chemistry in the high school competition. The professors who invited us to teach organic chemistry to our competition students were very surprised. The world gold medal players all think that his organic level is no less than his own, but all this came to an abrupt end in the preliminaries of 2065438+the end of August 2007. Li Bai failed in the exam, and only 30 students passed the exam organically 10. The provincial team only won the first prize. At the beginning of the third year of senior high school, Li, who realized that he wanted to take the college entrance examination again, quickly climbed from the bottom of his grade to 100 with his clever mind and unremitting efforts, and achieved good results. 650 points in the college entrance examination. As a result, I was admitted to Tianjin University.
After going to college, he was like a duck to water, devoted himself to his favorite scientific research and taught himself computational chemistry. The freshman semester is not over yet, and my primary school period is not over yet. They have already had a holiday. He borrowed Zhang's campus when I was reviewing my last professional course. Jia also came to study in our school library. At that time, I saw some organic computing things on his computer. I can't read it anyway. He also said with a smile that Academician Li has been at the forefront of the world. Well, at least it is a leading country.
Third, in the year when the virus first appeared, for 20 years, everyone stayed at home and played. He asked me to come out to study and brought a computer to do math. At that time, he told me that the first-year students in his group followed an international student. Daniel in the field of computing did it, and he introduced it with his seniors. Last May, an article on ACS catalysis and pure calculation was published. The first article is a senior, and it is also very powerful. So far, Science has published two papers. For more than a year, I have been ready to throw myself into nature from the beginning. When it doesn't succeed, tell me that this may be the second work, and see if I can get the final experimental results and confirm the mechanism he predicted before, and it will be all right. As for why it is science, you can go and see it if you are interested. The degradation conditions are very mild and can be said to be a breakthrough in this field.
To sum up his successful experience, the first is his absolute love for scientific research. He is almost obsessed with organic chemistry. The second is his talent. One month after returning from the competition, he jumped from the penultimate in his grade to 100. In the end, he must know how to seize the opportunity and make rational use of all the resources around him. When he first entered the university, he had a clear goal and kept climbing, and finally won the favor of Chinese and American academicians in ucla. Very successful job.
I also understand the doubts in the comments. After all, there is no such good person around, don't believe it. Friends who have known him for so many years think he is awesome, not to mention separated by a screen. You take the keyboard. Like me, Li is just an ordinary working family in an ordinary second-tier city. His parents are similar to ours, and have nothing to do with the so-called top student, dignitaries, py or even the education circle. You can learn a lot from his experience. Love this profession and stick to it. The "tiankeng profession" in everyone's eyes, such as "biochemical materials", actually has one advantage: hard work can bring returns. As long as you love your major, work hard in this field, do experiments and publish articles, you will certainly have corresponding results. The difficulty of publishing SCI is much lower than that of basic science such as mathematics and physics.
4. Before contacting Professor UCLA, students should be familiar with most of the works in the professor's field, understand the professor's taste and work, and know where their own advantages are, in order to get the professor's favor. This is also very helpful for everyone to find a mentor. Many students look for tutors for fame and discipline, but if they don't have a solid scientific research foundation/contacts, it is very important to know the tutors in detail in advance. Vision and hard work are important, but vision is more important. The student chose computational chemistry, a promising industry, and made "bold assumptions and careful verification" in order to get the main results he wanted. If you choose one of the other mature directions, you can only do some pruning. I'm afraid a few magazines will be enough. It's vision, luck and talent. If you work hard, you can do the first two, which has ensured that you have many SCI+ Daniel mentors. The last point depends on luck, but it is not impossible. I hope there will be more and more outstanding talents like him in the future. Good luck to him.
The writer is a junior high school alumnus. He is a classmate of my first year in high school and also a classmate of my two-year chemistry competition class. A friend for many years said that some of his deeds should reflect him. Our high school is divided into classes according to the ranking of the final exam of each semester. ? Grades 1-50 and 5 1- 100 are divided into subcategories 1 and 2 respectively. We belong to the second small category. During the class, you are not allowed to learn the content of the competition by yourself. Li Puli repeatedly violated this rule, secretly reading competition books and brushing competition exercises. He was caught by teachers in various subjects many times, but he still hasn't changed. With his unremitting efforts, senior three decided to divide classes at the end of last semester. There are 45 1 person who get good grades, and there are about 460 people in science. They successfully returned to parallel courses. Parallel classes are relatively less rigorous, and teachers don't care much about competition.
