On November 21, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering announced the results of the 2025 academician elections, including the list of newly elected foreign academicians. Two scholars from Changzhou were newly elected as academicians: Liu Quansheng and Xie Yimin.

Liu Quansheng is a professor and doctoral supervisor at Wuhan University. He was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering this year. For many years, he has specialized in deep rock mechanics and underground engineering, tackling multiple "bottleneck" technical challenges in mine exploitation and underground energy storage. He has presided over 10 National Natural Science Foundation projects, more than 10 major national projects including the National 973 Program, and over 40 major engineering research projects.

Xie Yimin, Dean of the School of Future Technologies at Hohai University, was elected a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering this year. Born in Changzhou and a graduate of Changzhou Senior High School of Jiangsu Province, he is an internationally renowned scholar in structural topology optimization. The "Progressive Structural Optimization Method" and the improved "Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization Method," both pioneered by him, have had a profound impact on the field of structural optimization design worldwide and have been successfully applied to a range of major engineering projects at home and abroad.

To date, Changzhou has produced 77 academicians of the two national academies. These distinguished scholars have devoted themselves to fields such as chemistry, geology, nuclear physics, materials mechanics, and cell biology, making significant contributions to scientific and technological progress, the improvement of people's livelihoods, and the development of the Chinese nation.
