Based on his love for physics, he explored the road of scientific research.He is committed to innovation, science and technology to serve the country as the goal, deep interdisciplinary fields;With rigorous academic attitude and unremitting spirit of exploration, he guides the growth course for students。He is the winner of the 25th MAO Yisheng Science and Technology Award - Beijing Youth Science and Technology Award, Professor Huang Houbing of the Institute of Frontier and Interdisciplinary Science, Beijing Institute of Technology。

Unswerving pursuit · painting will become a talent

Huang Houbing's journey of exploration in the interdisciplinary field began with his keen interest in science。With the progress of science and technology and the development of society, the knowledge system of various disciplines continues to develop in depth, and the knowledge of a single discipline is difficult to meet the research needs of complex practical problems. Only by promoting the cross-integration of multiple disciplines can scientific research breakthroughs and innovations be achieved。

"The phase field simulation method can describe the phase interface and microstructure phase structure formed between different materials", Huang Houbing introduced that in the field of phase field simulation design of ferroelectric materials, materials science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer and other disciplines cross each other。"We must not only understand the basic knowledge of materials science, but also physical modeling, writing code programs, and build ourselves into an 'all-round warrior'", only by comprehensively applying different disciplines can we understand how different microstructures determine material properties。

Multidisciplinary knowledge is only the first step to becoming a versatile person。As a scientific researcher, "we must dare to constantly challenge the frontier of knowledge and constantly break through innovation"。This spirit of daring to challenge and innovation is the driving force for Huang Houbing to keep moving forward on the road of scientific research。

In a ferroelectric thin film material research experiment, Huang Houbing's team observed the previous unprecedented domain structure, which could not be reasonably explained by the existing theory of materials science, which once made Huang Houbing very confused。In the face of this challenge, Huang Houbing did not stand still, but continued to study and discuss with team members, hoping to find the reason from other disciplines。

Huang Houbing firmly believes: "Although there are differences between different disciplines, there are also interrelated and mutually promoting relations。Hard work pays off, and Huang Houbing's team finally found the answer from the mathematical knot theory。They found that the "Solomon ring" in knot theory can explain the new domain structure well。This discovery excited the team members, and they published their research results in the internationally renowned academic journal "Nature Communication", which has attracted wide attention and recognition in related fields。

After years of exploration and research，Huang Houbing has made a series of landmark achievements in the field of phase field simulation design of ferroelectric materials，Aiming at the application bottleneck of low entropy of electric card refrigeration，A phase field model of electrocrystallization was established.The design idea of increasing polarization entropy by increasing crystallinity，Achieve a 4-fold increase in entropy change;The developed model source code has been applied in international commercial software.Together with the domestic experimental team, he published 5 papers in the high-level journals Nature and Science。

Study and consolidate the foundation of talent

Perhaps, Huang Houbing and physics are destined to have an indissoluble bond。In the second year of middle school, the physics teacher said in the light scattering experiment, "Light can be divided into seven colors through scattering."。With curiosity, he experimented according to the teacher's claim and really saw the scattering phenomenon of light。This small experiment allowed Huang Houbing to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the scientific world for the first time。With this strong interest, Huang Houbing won the highest score in his first physics test in junior high school, which undoubtedly made him happy and increased his motivation to explore the scientific world。

It was this experience that planted a seed for him to explore the scientific world, and the gears of fate began to turn。Huang Houbing's love for physics grew。When he applied for the college entrance examination, he chose material science and engineering, a major closely related to physics, and embarked on a journey of scientific exploration for more than ten years。

The road to success has always been challenging。During the period of doctoral study, the boring and tedious day after day of data analysis, experimental operation and literature review once made him lose interest in scientific research, as if he was trapped in a fog and did not know where to go, but he did not give up, but chose to start again and strive to find new interests。

In a literature study, Huang Houbing found that the interpretation of experimental phenomena in literature was not satisfactory. After careful consideration, he tried to construct a new set of calculation models, and successfully explained the experimental phenomena more clearly through theoretical calculation。

It was this attempt that rekindled his interest and lit the light that guided him on through the fog。In the subsequent study, Huang Houbing explored wider and deeper, and with the accumulation of basic research and the collision of cross-fusion, he kept walking on the road to the success of material simulation computing。He continues to explore the mechanism behind the polarization of ferroelectric materials by using computational simulation methods, providing practical solutions to engineering problems such as the energy-saving use of materials and the application of smart materials。He firmly believes that "as long as we maintain our love for new knowledge and continue to strive for exploration and innovation, we will be able to achieve more dazzling achievements.。”

Teach and lead the way to success

On his own road to success, Huang Houbing is full of enthusiasm and explores the edge of knowledge;On the way to success of students, he led the way by holding a lamp, guiding students to dare to challenge and continue to explore。

"The desire for new knowledge and willingness to explore and give, no matter how much effort, will be very happy inside.。Huang Houbing's enthusiasm for scientific research infects every student。

In the eyes of his students, Mr. Huang has the spirit of scientific research romanticism。The 2020 doctoral student said that when he faced scientific research difficulties, "Teacher Huang is the guide on the road of my scientific research, always giving me guidance and leading me to climb the scientific peak.。”

"Teacher Huang has guided me to find a career worth fighting for my life," said Gao Rongzhen, PhD graduate of 2023, "I will continue to realize my self-worth on the road of scientific research and contribute my strength to the development of the national science cause.。”

In Huang Houbing's view, "Every student has a unique talent and potential, and education should inspire and guide.。In classroom teaching, he focuses on inspiring students' thinking, encouraging them to put forward their own opinions and insights, and cultivating their critical thinking and innovation skills。

In practical teaching, Huang Houbing uses a variety of teaching methods such as case analysis, group discussion and practical operation to stimulate students' learning interest and enthusiasm。He is good at combining complex theoretical knowledge with practical problems, so that students can master knowledge and skills in the process of solving problems。At the same time, he also focuses on cultivating students' teamwork and communication skills, so that students can better cooperate in the future work。

In order to cultivate students' innovative ability, Huang Houbing provides students with rich practical opportunities to exercise their imagination and creativity in solving practical problems。"Only by applying what you learn can you better let students experience the harvest of scientific research and stimulate their interest in continuing to explore new knowledge.。At the same time, he also provides career planning advice to students to make them more determined and confident on the road ahead。

"Young students should develop morality, intelligence, physical beauty and labor in an all-round way", in spare time, Huang Houbing often takes his favorite ball games as the starting point, plays a football game with the students, communicates with everyone, and "plays" with the students。"As a university teacher, it is my most important responsibility to lead students to better growth。”

As a young scientific researcher, Huang Houbing is still engaged in the unknown scientific world with great interest.。"I am a researcher on an interdisciplinary path, and I will always explore and continue to move forward。”
