Li Yanrong

Li Yanrong is a chemistry topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Li Yanrong rather than just read about it. In short: Li Yanrong is a Chinese chemist and materials scientist who is currently the President of Sichuan University. Previously, he was President of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).

Key takeaways

Li Yanrong belongs to chemistry; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Li Yanrong to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Li Yanrong from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Li Yanrong is a Chinese chemist and materials scientist who is currently the President of Sichuan University. Previously, he was President of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). He is a chemical and materials engineer.

Early life Li was born in Shehong, Suining, Sichuan province in 1961. He graduated with a PhD degree from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China in 1992. From 1978 - 1983, he studied his undergraduate degree at Sichuan Normal University, China in chemistry.

Career In 1993, he joined UESTC as a faculty member. From 1998 - 2001, he became Dean of the School of Material Engineering. Thereafter, he became Dean of the School of Microelectronics and Solid State Electronics. From 2013 - 2017, he became President of UESTC. Since December 2017, he has been the President of Sichuan University, China. In 2019, he was appointed the President of Sichuan Association of Science and Technology.

Awards Li was elected to the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2011.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Li Yanrong

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Li Yanrong claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Li Yanrong before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Li Yanrong ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Li Yanrong

In research: Li Yanrong appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Li Yanrong in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Li Yanrong is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1961 births, Academic staff of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chinese chemists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Li Yanrong outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
