Academician [Li Xiaowen]（Director）

Academician Li Xiaowen, in 1968 graduated from the Chengdu Institute of telecommunication engineering, 1985 in California University in Santa Barbara by the geography master's and doctoral and master's degree in electrical and computer engineering, Beijing Normal University, honorary president of the school of geography, director of remote sensing and geographic information systems research center, honorary director of the public health field of application of spatial information technology research center, Professor tutor and the Graduate School of geography and remote sensing science, Changjiang Scholar professor,Specialized in remote sensing basic theory research, is the founder of the Li-Strahler geometric optics school, famous for being included in the International Optical Engineering Association "milestone series", in the domestic and international remote sensing community reputation. Presided over a number of climbing, 863, the focus of the fund, NASA basic research projects, is now the chief scientist of the project "quantitative remote sensing theory and application of the earth's suce on the elements of time and space variability", the 973.

Achievements in scientific research:
More than twenty years, academician Li Xiaowen committed to ground optical remote sensing and thermal infrared remote sensing basic research and applied research, he created a Li-Strahler geometric optical model, is one of China's basic research field of remote sensing a handful of internationally renowned experts. Research works have been published more than 160 s / Department, research results and standards have been internationally recognized and widely cited research s of domestic and foreign researchers: there are mainly 28 s indexed by SCI, 38 SCI s cited 557 times, 44 s were included by EI, 19 are cited by CSCD. The 1981 master's thesis in 1985 by the authority of "remote sensing Handbook (Second Edition)" income, 1985 in 1997 selected the international society for optical engineering milepost series ", SCI cited 113 times; in 1990 by the international Rolex ambitious award, the international authoritative" Marquis technology celebrity "97 years of his fourth edition. He has presided over the key project of the National Natural Science Foundation, the national climbing project, national 973 project and other major remote sensing basic research project, in 1994 won the first prize of natural science Chinese academy, in 2000 won the first prize of science and technology China University, 2000 was the capital labor medal, 2001 by the Cheung Kong achievement award, in 2002 by the Central Organization Department, propaganda department. The Ministry of personnel, Ministry of science and technology jointly awarded the "outstanding professional and technical personnel" title. A series of research achievements of his research have strongly promoted the development of the basic and applied research of quantitative remote sensing. The teaching of Li Xiaowen, a professor at the Beijing Normal University Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University, Tsinghua University graduate students held a series of remote sensing science lectures and seminars, to guide more than doctor, master, to promote China's forming a sensing mechanism of ability of innovation of research and experimental research team in the short term.
