Barry Sharpless Stanford University, USA

Professor Sharprless developed a stereoselective oxidation reaction. He found chemical reactions such as amino-hydroxylation, dihydroxylation and asymmetric epoxidation. Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation is an asymmetric selective chemical reaction that can be used to produce 2o 3-epoxide from primary or secondary allyl alcohols and has been used to synthesize carbohydrates terpenes leukotrienes pheromones and antibiotics. The asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction is one of the most important reactions in modern organic synthesis.Click Chemistry is a synthetic concept initially proposed by Sharpless in 1998 and further developed in 2001. Its main aim is to quickly and reliably complete the chemical synthesis of all kinds of molecules through connecting modulars via few perfect reactions. More recently, the Sharpless team has developed a new generation of click-chemistry reactions, Sulfur（VI） fluoride exchange（SuFEx）chemistry. The reaction has great potential for applications in areas such as material science and drug discovery. Professor Sharpless could win a second Nobel Prize based on his groundbreaking achievements in Click Chemistry.

Qian Yi Tongji University, China

Born in December 1936, Suzhou, Jiangsu, environmental engineering and membrane technology application expert, professor, doctoral supervisor, graduated from the Sanitary Engineering Department of Shanghai Tongji University in 1956, was admitted to Tsinghua University in 1957, and stayed in school after graduation in 1959 Taught so far. From 1981 to 1983, he was a visiting scholar at Cornell University in the United States. From 1988 to 1989, he was a visiting professor at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. After 1989, he successively worked at the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Imperial College London, Lecturer at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and other schools, currently a professor of the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering of Tsinghua University, director of the State Key Joint Laboratory of Environmental Simulation and Pollution Control, vice chairman of the Beijing CPPCC, concurrently vice chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology, and the Environmental and Resource Protection Committee of the National People's Congress Vice Chairman, Vice Chairman of World Federation of Engineering Organizations, Member of Council of World Resources Institute. Served as a deputy to the Seventh and Eighth National People's Congress, and a member of the Standing Committee of the Eighth National People's Congress. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. At the end of the 1970s, the theory and method of biodegradability of industrial wastewater and its identification standards were first proposed in the field of environmental engineering in my country, which became the basis for the treatment of industrial wastewater. Determined to provide scientific basis, and then presided over and participated in many national scientific and technological projects such as urban sewage treatment and reuse, anaerobic biological treatment of high-concentration organic wastewater, and oxidation pond technology; researched and developed high-efficiency and low-consumption water treatment suitable for my country's national conditions Equipment, serialization and industrialization. For decades, he has devoted himself to the research and development of new technologies for high-efficiency and low-consumption wastewater treatment suitable for China's national conditions, and has carried out fruitful work on the biodegradation characteristics, treatment mechanisms and technologies of refractory organic matter. He has presided over the completion of "Urban Sewage Treatment and Reuse" , "Anaerobic Biological Treatment of High Concentration Organic Industrial Wastewater", "Urban Wastewater Biological Stabilization Pond" and "Treatment Technology and Mechanism of Refractory Organic Matter" and many other scientific and technological research projects of the National Science and Technology Commission and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award 3 times, the third prize 1 time, the third prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award 1 time, the first prize of the Ministerial Science and Technology Progress Award 2 times, the second prize 2 times, and the first prize of the Natural Science Award of the Chinese Academy of Sciences 1 time. In recent years, he has devoted himself to the promotion of clean production, pollution prevention and circular economy, actively contributed to the national environmental decision-making and participated in environmental legislation. A total of more than 30 masters and more than 30 doctors have been trained. They play an important role in my country's environmental protection management, teaching, scientific research, and industry. He was invited to give lectures at many universities in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. In 2000, he was selected as a Fulbright Outstanding Scholar. He visited 7 cities in the United States and gave 12 academic speeches. He actively participated in international cooperation and cooperation in environmental protection. communicate. Edited or co-edited 7 books, mainly including: "Prevention and Control of Industrial Pollution", "Sustainable Urban Development and Water Pollution Prevention and Control Countermeasures", "Environmental Engineering Handbook: Water Pollution Prevention Volume", "Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development sustainable development", etc. And published nearly a hundred papers in Chinese and foreign academic journals.
