The day after the bidding conference ended.
It was the same grand auditorium.
Standing at the very front of the auditorium, Lu Zhou delivered a lecture on Computational Materials Science to the students of Harbin Institute of Technology in a clear, steady voice.
"...The advantage of Computational Materials Science lies in our ability to avoid many unnecessary mistakes through computation, break free from conventional scientific intuition, and discover the answers we need through a more rational perspective."
"Taking the Theoretical Model of Electrochemical Interface Structure as an example, I will briefly explain the application of mathematical theories such as Functional Analysis in the field of Computational Materials Science..."
The audience below was a dense sea of people, shoulder to shoulder, with some even sitting on the floor.
After hearing about the lecture, not only students from Harbin Institute of Technology and nearby universities had come, but even researchers who had graduated years ago and were now employed at nearby Materials Research Institute facilities had rushed over.
To maintain order, Harbin Institute of Technology had practically dragged over half of its security office. Although the lecture seemed to have caused the faculty quite a bit of trouble, Academician Zou looked rather pleased.
To repay their enthusiasm, Lu Zhou put his full energy into the lecture.
The subject of his lecture that day—the Theoretical Model of Electrochemical Interface Structure—had caused quite a stir in both Computational Materials Science and Surface Chemistry. It had also earned him the Hoffmann Medal awarded by the German Chemical Society, along with a joint nomination from several Nobel Prize laureates.
Whether it was the theory itself or the mathematical methods he explained during the lecture, both were highly enlightening to scholars engaged in Materials Science or Applied Mathematics research.
Therefore, everyone seated in the auditorium listened with
