Chapter 83 The Youngest Professor

It has to be said that Zhou Ming's current situation is very divided.

On the one hand, he is now a full professor at HKUST. As far as the title is concerned, he is the same as his neurobiology supervisor, which can be said to be on an equal footing.

But on the other hand, Zhou Ming is now a doctoral student at the School of Life Sciences of the Ministry of Biomedical Sciences, and his supervisor really overwhelms him.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming was also open-minded and didn't get entangled in this kind of thing, after all, it was his own choice.

After signing the electronic contract, Li Yanghua discussed some things with Zhou Ming, and after sending him several documents, the two ended their conversation.

Zhou Ming received the PDF file sent by Li Yanghua, and checked the contents one by one.

The University of Science and Technology was quite considerate. The documents Li Yanghua sent over contained a lot of content, including the campus map of the University of Science and Technology, how to apply for projects after becoming a professor, how to recruit graduate students, and many other rich and varied contents.

Here, Li Yanghua sent Zhou Ming a PDF file. He hadn't even read it yet, but he received phone calls from Principal Huang Zhixing and Principal Yi Huaqing one after another.

What Zhou Ming guessed after seeing two of his new papers published in the "Annals of Mathematics" last night was indeed correct. Today, many reporters did come to Jinling University of Technology and wanted to interview Zhou Ming.

Huang Zhixing and Yi Huaqing called Zhou Ming, and it was the reporters who went to them, asked about Zhou Ming's situation, and wanted to interview Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming and Shen Qingqiu explained the situation, and let Shen Qingqiu go to the library alone, while he went to deal with the reporters.

This deal lasted all morning, not only reporters from various newspapers, but also reporters from Suzhou TV Station and some Internet media reporters came.

With so many reporters, it was impossible for Zhou Ming to accept their interviews one by one. Even if they interviewed one by one, it was impossible for each reporter to chat for an hour like he did with the reporters from Jinling Daily yesterday.

After the reporters finally left at around noon, Zhou Ming went to the cafeteria with Huang Zhixing and Yi Huaqing wearily.

On the way to the cafeteria, Huang Zhixing took out the cell phone that had been turned on silently, and after looking at it, he found that, good guy, there are more than a dozen missed calls.

Zhou Ming also looked at his phone and found that there were quite a few missed calls, both from WeChat and phone cards.

In addition to missed calls, Zhou Ming's WeChat has not received many congratulatory and blessing text messages.

And when Zhou Ming clicked on those blessing messages, Huang Zhixing also looked at Zhou Ming with a strange and excited face, and asked Zhou Ming, "Are you a professor of mathematics at the University of Science and Technology of China now?"

Zhou Ming who opened the message also found that those who sent blessings were also talking about what Huang Zhixing said.

"How do you all know?" Zhou Ming was stunned. He signed the contract only in the morning. Why does it seem like the whole world knows it in less than half a day?

"I just looked at my phone, and my friend sent it to me. Look..." Huang Zhixing clicked on a screenshot photo his friend sent him, and handed the phone to Zhou Ming.

[Notice about our school's employment of...]

After seeing the screenshot Huang Zhixing showed him, Zhou Ming realized why the whole world seemed to know about it.

It turned out that the University of Science and Technology of China had issued a high-profile announcement on its official website more than an hour ago, formally hiring Zhou Ming as a professor of their school's mathematics department.

Zhou Ming never expected that their notice would come out so quickly.

You know, when Zhou Ming signed a three-year contract as a distinguished professor with the University of Science and Technology, there was no notice, let alone a notice.

What now?
Now that their contract has not been warmed up, the notice has already been sent out.

As soon as this notice from HKUST came out, it immediately stirred up huge waves in the academic world.

Although Zhou Ming has published a total of three high-quality mathematics papers in "New Advances in Mathematics" and "Mathematics Yearbook", there is actually an unspoken rule in domestic academic circles that seniority is ranked according to seniority. It’s normal to skip a grade. How can anyone skip a grade directly from an undergraduate to a full professor?
Not to mention anything else, a 22-year-old undergraduate who graduated one year ahead of schedule was hired as a full professor by a 985 university, and he was still a full professor with a formal staffing system. This can be said to be unprecedented.

The closest undergraduate student to a full professor is Liu Lu, who was only 23 years old at Central South University three years ago. He was hired as a full professor researcher by Central South University because he proved the Sitapan conjecture.

At that time, Liu Lu’s limelight was much stronger than that of Zhou Ming now. Even CCTV reported his affairs. As a representative of Asian universities, he was invited to attend the Mathematical Logic Academic Conference of the University of Chicago in the United States and gave a 40-minute report.

But despite this, he also conducted postgraduate study, although it was also an exceptional admission.

At that time, when Central South University hired Liu Lu as a full professor, it also caused a wave of heated discussions in the academic circle.

Now, the myth of the predecessors has been broken by Zhou Ming.

Starting today, the age of the youngest full professor in Huaguo will be reduced by another year.

When talking about the youngest full professor in Huaguo in the future, the first thing they thought of was Zhou Ming.

As soon as the news about the University of Science and Technology got out, many people immediately began digging up the genealogy of Zhou Ming's family, wishing to check all [-] generations of his ancestors.

In the end, Zhou Ming's various information was investigated by some powerful people or organizations, and they were able to see everything in a glance.

I lived with my grandparents since I was a child, and my parents worked outside. The elementary and middle schools are ordinary schools in the village, and the high school is not a good high school.

The freshmen and sophomores were obsessed with playing games all day long, and it was only in the third year that they started to work hard. It took less than a year to write six papers, and six papers involved biology, mathematics and artificial intelligence. three fields.

A paper on biology was published by "Cell" magazine the day before yesterday; a paper on mathematics was published on "New Advances in Mathematics"; two papers on mathematics were published on "Annals of Mathematics"; an artificial intelligence paper was published on "Journal of Intelligent Systems" , which caused a sensation in the industry; a graduation thesis on counting biomolecules is also of very high quality.

Such information was quickly posted on the Internet by interested people and spread wantonly.

On the Internet, things about Zhou Ming became more and more widespread, and more and more people participated in the discussion.

As soon as there were more people, all kinds of ghosts and monsters would come out. It seemed that more and more people began to question Zhou Ming's deeds in his junior year.

But Zhou Ming doesn’t know this yet.

Zhou Ming's three mathematical papers published in "New Advances in Mathematics" and "Yearbook of Mathematics" are different from proving Sittapan's conjecture. When people hear the term "Sitapan's conjecture", they don't need to know who Sitapan is or know What exactly is this conjecture.

They just need to know that this is something that no one has ever been able to prove before, but now it has been proved by a Chinese university student.

But these papers published by Zhou Ming, if you tell ordinary people, they can’t understand them at all. Only those who specialize in this aspect can know how powerful they are.

It is precisely because of this situation that these achievements of Zhou Ming, especially those in mathematics, are not easy to spread, because the majority of people who eat melons cannot appreciate how good you are.
