Ma Yuqiang

Ma Yuqiang is a astronomy 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 Ma Yuqiang rather than just read about it. In short: Ma Yuqiang (Chinese: 马余强; born November 1964) is a Chinese physicist, academic administrator, and politician. He is a professor at the School of Physics, Nanjing University, director of the Center for Frontier Theory in Matter Science at Nanjing University, vice chairperson of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), chairperson of the Jiangsu Provincial Com…

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Ma Yuqiang (Chinese: 马余强; born November 1964) is a Chinese physicist, academic administrator, and politician. He is a professor at the School of Physics, Nanjing University, director of the Center for Frontier Theory in Matter Science at Nanjing University, vice chairperson of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), chairperson of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the China Association for Promoting Democracy (CAPD), and a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the CAPD. He was elected a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021. Ma's research focuses on soft condensed matter physics, particularly at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and life sciences.

Biography Ma was born in Yuyao, Zhejiang, in November 1964, with ancestral roots in Ninghai County, Zhejiang. He graduated from the Department of Physics of Ningbo Teachers College (now part of Ningbo University) in 1984 and remained at the institution as a faculty member. In 1990, he received a master's degree in physics from Suzhou University and subsequently entered Nanjing University as a doctoral student under the supervision of theoretical physicist Gong Changde. After obtaining his Ph.D. in 1993, Ma joined the faculty of Nanjing University. He was promoted to associate professor shortly after graduation and became a full professor in 1995. He was selected for the Ministry of Education's Trans-Century Training Programme for Talents in 1997. In 1999, he received funding from the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. Ma joined the China Association for Promoting Democracy in April 2007. In 2011, he was selected for the second tier of Jiangsu Province's "333 High-Level Talent Cultivation Project". On November 18, 2021, he was elected a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in recognition of his contributions to soft condensed matter physics. In June 2022, Ma was elected chairperson of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the China Association for Promoting Democracy. Later that year, he was elected a member and Standing Committee member of the 15th Central Committee of the CAPD. In January 2023, he was elected vice chairperson of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Personal life Ma's younger brother, Ma Yugang (born 1968), is a nuclear physicist, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and president of East China Normal University.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ma Yuqiang

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ma Yuqiang claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, 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 Ma Yuqiang 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 Ma Yuqiang 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 Ma Yuqiang

In research: Ma Yuqiang appears in astronomy 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 Ma Yuqiang 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: Ma Yuqiang is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1964 births, Chinese physicists, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ma Yuqiang 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.
