 Prof. Li Yi-Tian (1957-), born in Shanxi province. He is the chief scientist of National Key Basic Research Program (973 Program) "Yangtze River water and sediment transport and its environmental changes in production coupled mechanism" project. He has long been engaged in teaching and research work of River engineering. He has undertaken many important projects, such as the project funded by the major project of National Nature Science Foundation, CIDA-Canada cooperation project; sedimentation in the upstream backwater areas, dam site and downstream area of Yangtze River Three Gorges Project. His "one- and two-dimensional nested water and sediment mathematical model" had been applied in many projects, such as the construction of many hydropower plants, water transfer projects, and the regulation of the main channel and tributaries (,such as the projeci like the project of Han River, Gan River) of the Yangtze River. His "flood control model for retention area" had been widely used in Flood Control of Jingjiang River and Dongting Lake area, the Yongding River, Daqing, Huaihe River and Hanjiang River. He has published six monographs and textbooks, in addition to more than 100 papers. He won many prizes and honors such as the State Education Commission and Ministry of Water Resources Science and Technology Progress Award, the Chinese PhD with Outstanding Achievements, the national outstanding teachers, the Chinese Young Scientists Award, Fok Ying Tung Young Teacher Award, Hubei technological elite, Hubei Outstanding Young Expert, Principal State Power Corporation of model workers, and National May -1st Labor medal. |
