Chapter 822 I Want to Learn Math with You!

Academician Li's envy is not without reason.

In fact, there is probably no one in the academic world of Huaguo who does not envy Lu Zhou.

With the halo of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Award on his head, the academicians of the two academies were elected at one time, and the projects of two to three hundred billion yuan just moved their mouths, and thousands of scientific research dogs had to break their legs because of his paper.

And he who has done all this is not even in his thirties...

For countless people, his achievement has basically marked the apex of being a scholar.

However, there are some things that cannot be envied.

In addition to being envious, Academician Li Qingquan also admired the earth-shattering achievements that Professor Lu made after returning to China. Picking out any one at random is a major event that many people have to complete in a lifetime, or even a lifetime. son.

He who can do all this is indeed worthy of being so valued.

At least compared to those bureaucratic scholars who are vegetarians, he doesn't know how high he is.

Just as the Science and Industry Bureau's seminar on the lunar mass projector project was coming to an end, the initiator of the project, Lu Zhou, had left Shangjing and returned to Jinling.

So far, the work of the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee has basically been on the right track. With the important work basically arranged, Lu Zhou finally has time to shift part of his energy from the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee. It's Jinda's side.

Coupled with the matter of his graduation thesis, he will basically show his face in the office of the School of Numbers these days.

"...I received a reply from the editorial department of "INTERNATIONAL-MATERIALS-REVIEWS" yesterday. Congratulations, your graduation thesis has been successfully published."

Standing in front of Lu Zhou's desk, Han Mengqi showed a relieved expression on her face and let out a small sigh of relief.

For this graduation thesis, she has prepared for at least half a year. Now that the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, at least until next summer, she can relax a little bit.

Looking at the relieved Han Mengqi, Lu Zhou smiled and continued.

"Don't rush to breathe a sigh of relief, have you thought about things after graduation?"

Hearing this question, Han Mengqi touched the back of her head in embarrassment, then shook her head, hesitantly said: "I...haven't thought it through yet."

"Try to think about it as soon as possible," Lu Zhou looked at her and said seriously, "If you plan to study for a Ph. D., you can start preparing for it in the first half of this year. Find a good internship unit, if you have any place you want to go, I can help you write a letter of recommendation."

Staring at her toes, Han Mengqi said with a little nerve-wracking: "...Professor, can I ask a question?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Ask, answering students' graduation inquiries is also part of my job."

"Reading a Ph.D.... What kind of feeling is it?"

"What kind of feeling? This question is a bit abstract," Lu Zhou thought for a moment, then continued, "How to describe it... In fact, it is probably the same as what you do every day, right? The only difference may be Mentally."

"Mentality?" Han Mengqi tilted her head and asked with some interest, "Can you be more specific?"

Lu Zhou: "To put it simply, a doctor's job is scientific research just like a master's. The only difference is that the primary task of a master's degree is to skillfully use some scientific research tools, such as graphic-model, Markov chain, etc., and use these tools to Solve some small problems encountered in scientific research work. At this stage, new problems and which tools to use are generally proposed by the supervisor, and the master is responsible for thinking about specific solutions.”

"As for the study at the doctoral stage," Lu Zhou paused for a moment, recalling how he spent his doctoral stage, and said, "The main task of a doctorate is to use new tools to solve new problems. As for the so-called new problems here , It can be proposed by the tutor or by yourself. Generally, at this stage, students have the ability to ask questions, and they can also come up with some methods that others have not thought of. It is also from this stage that you In the true sense, independently engaged in scientific research... Are you listening?"

"what……"

Reminded by Lu Zhou's voice, Han Mengqi, whose eyes were a little dull, suddenly came back to her senses.

Noticing that Lu Zhou was looking at her, she blushed when she realized that she was distracted. She scratched her head in embarrassment, bowed her head and apologized, "Sorry... I was a little distracted just now."

Lu Zhou said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, I can see that your face is full of thoughts. When you are troubled by something and can't make a decision, even I will be distracted, so there is no need to apologize."

Han Mengqi asked cautiously: "...are you also troubled by something?"

Playing with the pen cap in his hand, Lu Zhou sitting behind the desk was silent for a while, as if he didn't know how to answer this question.

However, after thinking for a while, he replied in a slightly vague tone.

"...Of course, as long as a person will encounter problems beyond his ability, even I can't be sure that every choice I make is the best. There are even some things that I can't give even today. Come up with a good solution."

For some reason, he suddenly became a little concerned about what Lu Zhou was talking about.

Blinking her eyes, Han Mengqi tried to gather up her courage and asked.

"May I ask what the question is?"

"Some personal questions..." Lu Zhou coughed lightly, and forcibly changed the topic, "Come back to business, your talent in scientific research is good, if you plan to continue on the academic road, I recommend you continue Choose the direction of computational materials science. Especially the Berry phase and topological effects in phonons, as well as the development of 3D topological materials, and hydrogen storage materials, these three fields are quite popular and relatively easy to produce results."

The role of computational materials science is mainly dedicated to building predictable or descriptive models to help study the intrinsic mechanism of materials and reduce the time and cost of new material development.

Ten years ago, this was still a new discipline, but now this discipline has basically matured. Especially after the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, many research institutes will set up related research departments, and generally strong materials science research teams will also retain a phd who is proficient in computing materials in the project team, so the opportunity to work No worries.

As for the easier results...

Let's talk about it, in fact, it is only relative to Lu Zhou's laboratory.

Jinling Institute for Advanced Study is a leading experimental institution in the world in the fields of aerospace materials, carbon materials, and new energy. Many academic journals in this field have even been "contracted" by the papers they produce, so it is easy for Jinling Institute for Advanced Study to make achievements in this field.

Looking at Han Mengqi who fell silent for a long time, Lu Zhou turned the ballpoint pen in his hand and asked a question.

"What do you think?"

"I think……"

Biting her lip lightly, Han Mengqi pondered for a long time.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly raised her head and said in a firm tone.

"I want to... learn math with you!"

Lu Zhou: "...?"
