Chapter 165 The World of the Boss(2/3)
He smiled and said something to Qiao Yu, then looked at Zhang Zuolin and said: "Brother Zuo Lin, didn't you say it was Qiao Yu earlier? How could I not have heard of him? After several academicians came back from Linhai to attend the conference, they met
Everyone must say a few words about Professor Tian for accepting a good student."
"Hello, Professor Ma." Qiao Yu nodded slightly and said hello.
"Okay, you're welcome. Sit down first. You're late today. Do you want to punish yourself with a drink?"
"Haha, I didn't plan to drink today. But with little brother Qiao Yu here, I have to have two drinks."
…
After exchanging a few words, Ma Botao took his seat.
The others obviously speeded up their eating. Soon after, when Zhang Haoyuan planned to leave first in the name of bringing food to Chen Jiang who was left behind, the other juice drinkers in the research group also left together.
Soon there were only three people left in the box who had drank wine today and one who drank juice.
There is no other way, everyone can tell that the instructor must have something to talk about when he specially invited Professor Ma here.
This is indeed the case.
After the others left, Ma Botao talked about business.
"Qiao Yu, brother Zuo Lin just said on the phone that you invited me here today?"
Qiao Yu glanced at Zhang Zuolin, then nodded and said, "Yes, I read an article you published at Shuangdan University today. It was about the application of amphiphilic block copolymer template technology in mesoporous metals.
The latest advances in base materials.
Then I happened to hear that you are in charge of a competing topic with Professor Zhang, jointly developing temperature-responsive gel materials. I suggested that Professor Zhang invite you here. Because after reading some literature, I felt that these two technologies are in this
Topics can be combined completely.
In this way, the new material will have the advantages of both technologies. It can achieve high mechanical strength and precise temperature response at the same time, and the interaction of hydrophobic-hydrophilic blocks can enhance the environmental responsiveness of the material and provide physical support for the self-healing ability."
After hearing Qiao Yu's answer, Ma Botao looked at Zhang Zuolin next to Qiao Yu in surprise, but Professor Zhang just smiled and said nothing.
However, Ma Botao could tell that Zhang Zuolin actually looked a little surprised at this time. The two of them probably hadn't talked about this before, at least not in depth.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Botao smiled and replied: "Qiao Yu, your mathematical level is naturally excellent. There is no doubt about this. But when it comes to chemical research, you may not know much about laboratory operations and pure mathematics."
Theoretical research is different.
For example, the combination solution you mentioned sounds really good. It can not only be multi-functional, but also widen the temperature zone and optimize performance. But the actual operation is not as simple as 1+1 equals 2.
For example, how to solve the problem of interface compatibility? There will be chemical and physical incompatibility problems between block copolymers, nanoparticles and dynamic covalent bonds. If not solved well, not only the interface performance will decrease, but also the interface performance will decrease.
In addition, how to solve the problem of preparation complexity? I can’t comment on Brother Zuo Lin’s research. I will only talk about the technical difficulties on our side.
In order to ensure the phase separation behavior of the block copolymer in the material, its molecular weight distribution includes PDI, and the polymer dispersion index needs to be as narrow as possible. Moreover, the ratio of different blocks directly affects the phase separation behavior and final material properties.
In addition, the filling of nanoparticles needs to be uniform enough, otherwise microscopic defects will occur inside the material. If dynamic covalent bonding technology is introduced, how to solve the problem of decreased activity of dynamic covalent groups in multi-step reactions?"
After listening to Ma Botao's words, Qiao Yu nodded, and then explained seriously: "That's what I think. I can first help you both use your own technical means to make a finished product that meets the requirements.
I think this can save you at least a few months, and then use the extra time to try to combine the two technical methods. This way, it won't take long whether it succeeds or not.
I've thought about it carefully and it's not impossible. I don't know the specific solution, but as long as it involves calculation and data analysis, I can help here."
"This...can you help us make the finished product?" Ma Botao asked in surprise.
Zhang Zuolin next to her didn't say a word, but she turned her head and glanced at Liu Hao, who was sitting on the other side and had been obediently listening to the boss chat.
There is a tacit understanding between teachers and students.
When he noticed that his instructor's eyes were on him, Liu Hao immediately understood. He coughed a few words and then took the initiative to say: "Professor Ma, I am mainly responsible for this subject.
You may not know that our materials have been optimizing this card for three months. We also invited Professor Lu from the School of Mathematics to help us analyze laboratory data.
However, Professor Lu felt that the data we provided was insufficient and it was difficult to provide a useful analysis report. He had no choice but to ask Qiao Yu to help us do some analysis because he had cooperated with Qiao Yu once before.
Qiao Yu specially designed a new analysis technology for our project. It only took us more than half a month to go from having no clue to having a major breakthrough today."
In fact, Zhang Zuolin said on the phone that their breakthrough this time was entirely due to Qiao Yu.
However, Ma Botao was quite surprised to hear such a complete report from Liu Hao.
He knew that covalent bonding technology would be stuck in optimization. Although he had not specifically studied this technology, it was also a cutting-edge technology in the field of new materials. Ma Botao naturally knew about it.
Can the data that other professors are helpless turn into magic in Qiao Yu's hands?
To be honest, Ma Botao wouldn't have believed it if it were someone else.
But considering Qiao Yu's recent reputation in the mathematics community, he was dubious.
The most important thing is that there is no need for Qiao Yu to invite him here just to make a joke, right? What's the point?
After running around twice in his mind, Ma Botao asked seriously: "This... Qiao Yu, can you tell me what kind of new method this is?"
Qiao Yu answered: "I call it the geometric modal analysis method. It has proven to be very effective in data analysis of nonlinear systems. Projection from high-dimensional modal to low-dimensional modal can effectively remove redundant information in the data.
.
A more specific idea is to map the system state to a high-dimensional modal space. Everyone knows that the mathematical dimension is too high, and direct analysis will lead to high computational costs and difficulty in extracting patterns.
So my method can project high-dimensional data into a low-dimensional modal space by finding a low-dimensional subspace, while trying to maintain the geometric characteristics of the data."
After Qiao Yu finished speaking, Liu Hao thought for a while, and then took out the few pictures that Qiao Yu gave him that he couldn't quite understand from his bag.
"Professor Ma, this is the report Qiao Yu produced after helping us analyze the data. You can take a look."
"Oh! Thank you."
Ma Botao took the drawing handed over by Liu Hao and turned it over with his hands.
To be honest, you can't tell much just by looking at the chart.
But it can be seen that these charts are regular. Whether it is a two-dimensional projection chart or a curve chart.
Combined with what Liu Hao just said, if the laboratory data really makes other mathematics professors at a loss, no matter what method Qiao Yu uses, he can summarize the rules, which is enough to show the advancement of this analysis method.
"That means you created your own analysis method for laboratory data? And it's not limited to a specific technology?"
After looking at the drawings and returning them to Liu Hao, Ma Botao asked in surprise.
Qiao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, this method is very suitable for data analysis of complex nonlinear systems. Therefore, it can be used in laboratories such as materials science, chemical reaction kinetics, nonlinear dynamics, etc."
Ma Botao nodded clearly and said: "You mean we will provide you with the laboratory data first, and you will provide us with data analysis services and verify this method at the same time?"
Qiao Yu smiled and said: "Actually, the effectiveness of this method has been verified. If it had no effect at all, there would be no meal today.
My idea is that if my analysis can really help you, if the project is successful, you only need to pay some consulting fees. As for the subsequent integration of the two technologies, let's talk about it later.
If the results of my analysis are not helpful to your experiments at all, just think that my work has been in vain. Of course, if the data needs to be kept confidential, I can sign a confidentiality agreement."
"Ahem..." Zhang Zuolin, who had been listening carefully to the conversation between the two, held a wine glass and coughed violently, with a strange expression on her face.
Originally, his idea was similar to Ma Botao's. Qiao Yu wanted to verify his method and publish a paper.
But when he heard Qiao Yu talk about the consulting fee, he suddenly felt that it was not the case. This reminded him of the two million consulting fee he gave Tian Yanzhen last time out of consideration for his face...
Did you do it unintentionally? In the end, you were so absorbed in your thoughts that you choked on your drink...
After probably guessing what Qiao Yu was thinking, Zhang Zuolin said decisively: "I'm sorry... Well, everyone has almost eaten. Why don't we go to the laboratory and sit there. Brother Bo Tao finally came here and gave us some advice.
Get to work."
Yes, Zhang Zuolin's idea is very simple. Find a way to help Qiao Yu promote this business. Of course, if he fails to do so despite his efforts, that would be even better!
Forging a good relationship with Qiao Yu will definitely be beneficial to him in the future.
It’s not just this analysis system. When he can be evaluated as an academician in the future, maybe what this sixteen-year-old boy says at that time will be more useful than many professors.
However, he will definitely not communicate with Ma Botao about this matter. Our relationship is not that good yet. It seems that the consultant fee for this project can be paid a little more.
Especially if Ma Botao also decides to ask Qiao Yu to do data analysis, at least this time he will definitely not give less than this guy.
Of course, Zhang Zuolin really has an advantage in this area. After all, if you have money, you can really do whatever you want. Even in college circles.
Unlike professors who live entirely on salary and lecture fees, he has been able to make a good living just relying on patent licensing in the two outside companies, and he really doesn't value money that much.
And this world is so wonderful sometimes. People who don’t lack anything are always more likely to get it than those who lack it.
For example, the direction of money flow always flows from those who are short of money to those who are not short of money. Even what banks like to do most is to lend money to rich people, not those who have no money...
Zhang Zuolin has been troubled by this problem. He is no longer short of money to spend. He now has higher pursuits. He wants to prove his worth in the world's academic community and publish several heavyweight papers.
But he can't accept this kind of project that can fully prove the academic value. After all, even if he succeeds in this kind of project, he can't just publish a paper.
If you want to focus on research, you can even contribute some money yourself, but every year, various profitable cooperation projects come to you.
Who the hell can I talk to to reason with this?
As for Ma Botao, he naturally has no objection, after all, he is not here for this meal!
When I came here, I thought that if I didn't get anything, I would go to the laboratory and have a look. What Liu Hao just introduced aroused his curiosity.
So he immediately agreed: "I've already eaten. Let's go to the laboratory first. I've heard that Brother Zuo Lin's laboratory is doing well. I just want to go and see it this time!"
Zhang Zuolin smiled and nodded, and said grandly to Liu Hao: "Professor Ma is not an outsider. Don't hide it when you go to the laboratory later. It will look petty. Just show Professor Ma the data."
Liu Hao glanced at Qiao Yu and agreed with a smile.
Just as Qiao Yu judged, there are no stupid people who can study as a graduate student at Yanbei University.
