Prof. Baoyan Duan, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, IET Fellow, awardees of science and technology achievement award by Ho Leung Ho lee Foundation. He is the Chief Scientist of 973 project, Fellow of Electronic Institute of China, Chairman of Chinese Association of Electromechanical Engineering, and Chairman of Antenna Industry Association of China. So far he is the full professor of electromechanical engineering of Xidian University and the president of Xidian University during 2002-2012.He has worked for both teaching and researching electromechanical engineering, focused on the coupling and integration between electronic and mechanical techniques. He pioneered a new field of electromagnetic-structural deformation-thermo coupling of electronic equipment in China. First, he developed a two-field-coupling model between electromagnetic and structural deformation of microwave reflector antennas. He proposed a systematic optimization method of homologous design of the reflector. Second, the integrated design theory and methodology of the servomechanism of radar and antenna are developed to solve the problem of mechanical factors affecting the pointing accuracy. An innovative design for a 500 meter diameter large telescope is proposed, initiating a new way in which a flexible structure composed of long cables is utilized to dynamically position the feed three-dimensionally. Third, the electromagnetic-structural deformation-thermo coupled model is presented for typical electronic equipment. The model reveals the relationship among the fields. The above key technology and program system have been successfully applied in many engineering projects, such as space shipping, surveys of deep space, and main warships.As the first receiver, he has obtained the 2nd prize award of national science and technology three times and the 1st prize award of provincial level of science and technology three times. He has published 150 papers that are cited by SCI and EI and 5 books. The paper and book have been referenced 3600. He has made 23 patents of invention. Among his graduated Ph. D. students, one received the excellent Ph.D. dissertation of China, one received the Humboldt prize of Germany, and one received provincial outstanding contributions experts of Shaanxi Province.He is a member of the scientific and technology committee of the China education bureau, China industry and information bureau, and China general armament department.
