| Professor Ding-qiang Su |
Ding-qiang Su, astronomer and expert in optical engineering, was born in Shanghai in June, 1936, and his ancestral home is Wujin County, Jiangsu Province. He graduated from Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University in 1959. From 1959 to 1962 he worked in Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University as an assistant. From 1962 to 2003 he worked in Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology, National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences (former Nanjing Astronomical Instruments Factory, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Nanjing Astronomical Instruments Research Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences). In there he joined the developments of China’s 2.16m telescope and many other instruments. From 2003 to now he is a professor in Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University. Now Professor Ding-qiang Su also is a part-time professor of Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology, a part-time professor of Beijing Normal University and a honor professor of Nanjing University of Science and Technology. During 2002 to 2006 he was the President of Chinese Astronomical Society, 2000 to 2003 he was the President of Commission 9, International Astronomical Union. He was a Deputy to the 8th (1993-1998) and the 9th (1998-2003) National People’s Congress, People’s Republic of China. He was elected as a member (academician) of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1991.
In the research of optical system of large telescope, he put forward a series of new coude systems and the lens-prism corrector. Cooperating with Professor Ya-nan Wang, established a special optical system optimization program. From 1972 to the middle of 1990’s it was the main program in astronomical optical system research and design in China. He led a group to develop the first Lyot birefringent filter in China. He derived the energy integration formula for Lyot filter. He put forward the new idea to apply active optical method to realize the shape changeable optical system. He led a group to develop the first active optical experiment system in China. Cooperating with Professor Shou-guan Wang, proposed the preliminary configuration of Large Sky Area Muli-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST). As one of the National Mega Science Engineerings it is being developed in China. He joined the developments of many astronomical telescopes and instruments and did much work on them in China. Until 2004 he published 62 papers.
Now in Nanjing University he is teaching “the Fundamental of General Relativity”.
He received the first class National Prize for Progress in Science and Technology of China(2.16m Optical Astronomical Telescope) in 1998, the second class National Natural Science Prizes of China (The Researches of Astronomical Telescope Optics) in 1993, and four prizes of Chinese Academy of Sciences (two of them are first class prize and two of them are second class prize). In all these prizes, he is the first awardee. In 1999 he received the Science and Technology Progress Award of Ho Leung Ho Lee (HLHL) Foundation.

方成主持完成我国第一座、也是目前唯一的一座太阳塔
(塔式太阳望远镜)的研制,开辟了国内CCD二维光谱研究的新领域。他系统地掌握和运用非局部热动平衡理论,建立了一整套实用的方法,在国际上首次把太阳耀斑色球结构计算同自洽能量平衡计算结合起来;建立了太阳耀斑大气演化、白光耀斑、日珥和太阳黑子的半经验模型,被国际上广泛应用;首次提出了利用电离钙K线的光谱诊断方法;他和合作者提出了由光谱诊断耀斑非热高能粒子的方法;发展了计算耀斑动力学模型的整套方法,建立了耀斑环和色球压缩区的动力学模型;首次提出用色球压缩区解释第I类白光耀斑和用太阳大气低层磁重联解释第II类白光耀斑和“埃勒曼炸弹”等的新机制。
已发表论文260篇,与丁明德和陈鹏飞教授合写‘太阳活动区物理’专著一部。曾获国家科技进步二等奖(1985)、国家自然科学三等奖(1997)、教委和教育部科技进步一、二等奖和江苏省科技进步一等奖。1998年被评为全国教育系统劳动模范,并被授予全国模范教师称号。
2004年获何梁何利奖。2008年获法国巴黎天文台授予的荣誉博士称号。
