Invited by Prof. Yuanqin Xia of School of Astronautics, subsidized by International Cooperation and Communication Funds of Harbin Institute of Technology and project of cultivating academic leader of engineering discipline under 985 project, Prof. Dongping Zhong from Ohio State university, USA visited Harbin Institute of Technology at August 22, 2011 and was appointed as an adjunct professor of Optical Engineering discipline. Prof. Dongping Zhong gave lecture in National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Tunable Laser in HIT science park featuring on SOOTHING THE BURN: REPAIRING SUN-DAMAGED DNA WITH ENZYMES and WATCH WATER DANCING WITH PROTEIN: HYDRATION DYNAMICS AND COUPLED WATER-PROTEIN FLUCTUATIONS at August 23. And Prof. Dongping Zhong introduced the current research interests of his research group, which mainly focus on application of ultra-fast laser spectrum method on detection of self-restore process of damaged DNA and ultra-fast dynamic process of protein and water within the protein molecule. Teachers from department of physics, department of chemistry, department of life sciences and engineering, school of material science and engineering and Heilongjiang University took part in the lecture, and there were around 80 students majoring in physics, chemistry, biology and material attended the lecture. Prof. Dongping Zhong had interaction with the attendants and answered some questions for about one hour after the lecture. The ceremony of appointment, hosted by Prof. Yuanqin Xia, was held in the morning of August 22 in the conference room, room 224 of HIT main building. The participants include Mr. Yun Duan, deputy party secretary of School of Astronautics, Prof. Zhiwei Lv, vice-president of School of Astronautics, Prof. Deming Ren, deputy director of National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Tunable Laser and other leaders of the discipline.
Mr. Yun Duan awarded Prof. Dongping Zhong the certificate of adjunct professor, introduced development history of School of Astronautics of HIT to Prof. Zhong, and emphasized current discipline construction, personnel training and scientific research of the school. Besides, Prof. Zhong was complimented with the album of School of Astronautics by Mr. Yun Duan. Prof. Zhiwei Lv expressed the warm welcome to Prof. Zhong on the ceremony, and showed great confidence in the rapid development of Optical Engineering discipline after Prof. Zhong’s participation. Then the two professors carried out a detailed communication and deep discussion about discipline construction, teacher resources and scientific research. Furthermore, Prof. Dongping Zhong delivered huge thanks for the honor given by School of Astronautics of Harbin Institute of Technology, he said HIT was the university he had been dreaming of, HIT is a renowned academy with a long history and a host of excellent talents. Then Prof. Zhong expressed strong hope of strengthening cooperation with Optical Engineering discipline of School of Astronautics in the future, building high-level laboratories together, exchanging visiting scholars and receiving or recommending outstanding students of HIT to conduct short-term academic exchange in American universities. In the afternoon, Prof Dongping Zhong was also invited to visit the Ultra-Fast laser laboratory of National Key Laboratory of Science and Technology on Tunable Laser, department of life sciences and engineering of HIT, the Ultra-Fast laser laboratory of Condensed Matter Physics Center. He also discussed some interesting issues with the researchers there and gave some important advice on the study of interaction between fs laser pulses and matter. In addition, Prof Dongping Zhong went sightseeing and visited the Sant Sofia Church, Central Avenue and Sun Island in the afternoon.
