Professor Lizhe Wang was funded by the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in 2019

Recently, theNational Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) officially announced the evaluation results of the talent fund in 2019. ProfessorLizhe Wang from school of computer science was funded by the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars.

Professor Lizhe Wang received his bachelor's degree and master's degree from Tsinghua University, and a doctor's degree from Karlsruhe University, Germany. He is selected into the national talent plan. He is now a "Chutian Scholar" chair professor of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), director of Intelligent Geoscience Information Processing, Hubei key laboratory, and director of Intelligent Geological Resources and Environmental Technology, Hubei engineering center. He also serves as deputy director of the key laboratory of Geological Exploration and Assessment, Ministry of Education, expert of the "Global Change and Response" key research and development program of the Ministry of Science and Technology, deputy leader of the general technical group of a pilot project of Chinese academy of sciences "Earth Big Data Science Project" and so on.

Professor Wang’s team focuses on the study of remote sensing information engineering, which aims to meet the national needs in earth observation and space information assurance. Their research improves key aspects such as Quality, Efficiency, Intelligence and Service in remote sensing data processing. For example, they proposed a complementary information gain based quality improvement model, developed a high performance remote sensing data processing technology, designed an intelligent service framework of remote sensing information based on quantitative semantic analysis, built a ground data processing system for multi-satellite multi-sensor data and a multi-satellite data integration processing system. These research results have been applied to the national space information infrastructure and improve the ability of data fusion and processing for domestic satellite. Professor Wang has published five Chinese and one English monographs on remote sensing during the past five years. He is titled as the first/corresponding author for 54 SCI papers, which received 2043 citations in total. Among these publications, ten were selected as ESI Top1% highly cited papers, five were selected as ESI Top1‰hot papers and one was selected as Leader 5000 - top academic papers in China's top scientific and technological journals. Professor Wang was awarded the second prize of natural science in Hubei province, the second prize of surveying and mapping science and technology progress award of Chinese Society for Geodesy Photogrammetry and Cartography, the second prize of science and technology progress award of China Institution of Navigation, 2017 IEEE TCSC mid-career award and so on.

The project of National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars is the highest funding in the talent funding system of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). It mainly supports young scholars under the age of 45 who have made outstanding achievements in basic research to independently choose research directions and carry out innovative research.
