Prof. Liyi Li engaged in the research of special motors and special electromagnetic devices. Facing the needs of chip manufacturing industry, the linear motor with high precision and high dynamic characteristics in the stage system of lithography machine is studied. In order to meet the requirements of high reliability attitude control of special aircraft, a high overload and high power motor system is developed. The series of high speed spindle motor system has been developed and widely used. In 2012, he was funded by the national fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, and was awarded the title of Yangtze River scholar in 2013, and served in seven academic committees in China. He won the second prize for national technological invention and 6 provincial and ministerial awards. He published more than 300 academic papers, 160 of which have been indexed by SCI. More than 80 patents have been authorized, 3 of which have won silver award of invention exposition, and 10 have realized technology application transformation in enterprises.

Prof. Yanwei Ma is the head of the Department of New Superconducting and Energy Materials in IEECAS. He has an outstanding expertise in the field of superconducting wires and tapes, and has published more than 300 papers in SCI ranked journals so far. He is the editorial-board member of journals such as Supercond. Sci. Technol., Physica C and Sci. Rep.. He has been invited to give 62 plenary or invited presentations in international academic conferences such as ASC, EUCAS, ISS, Vortex and ICMC. Since the discovery of iron-based superconductors (IBS) in 2008, his group was the first to fabricate the iron-based superconducting wires by using the powder-in-tube method. Since then, he has been contributing innovative ideas (and publications) in improving transport critical current density Jc of IBS wires. Due to the original and pioneer work, Prof. Ma was invited to write the first review article on IBS wires for Supercond. Sci. Technol. in 2012. In recent years, he has made many significant contributions in high-performance IBS wires and their practical development, including the first high-performance multifilamentary wire in 2013, realizing the practical level Jc of 105 A/ cm2 at 4.2 K and 10 T in 2014, the first 100-meter class wire in 2016 and the first iron-based superconducting pancake coil in 2019. These advances represent significant breakthrough work in the development of iron-based superconductor technology, and strongly promoted the applications of iron-based superconductors. The contributions of Prof. Ma are highly regarded in superconductor research community. In 2019, the European Society for Applied Superconductivity (ESAS) announced that the 2019 ESAS Award for Excellence in Applied Superconductivity is awarded to Prof. Ma for his “outstanding contributions to the development of superconductive wires with potentially very high impact for applications”.
