In the column of academic qualifications of Gao Huijun's resume, the column of technical secondary school, self-taught undergraduate, graduate student, doctoral student and full-time undergraduate education is still blank, but he is the only person on the title promotion list of Harbin Institute of Technology who has been promoted from lecturer to professor, and he is also the youngest doctoral supervisor of Harbin Institute of Technology. From graduation from self-taught undergraduate to doctoral supervisor, behind the gorgeous turn, his extraordinary efforts and perseverance are supporting.
Never give up, never give up
Gao Huijun didn't go to high school. 199 1 year-old He 15 years old chose to go to Shaanxi No.1 Industrial School to study in a technical secondary school. "The purpose at that time was very simple, that is, I could work immediately after graduation to reduce the economic burden for poor families." Gao Huijun said. However, in his mind, it seems that there is another goal or ideal looming in his mind. He always believed that he could always do something decent. He concentrates on his studies, so his grades are always among the best. In the second year of technical secondary school, he began to prepare for the college self-study exam. Going to bed late and getting up early has become a common habit. He buried himself in old materials used by others. In others' eyes, he seems to be never tired. Finally, when he graduated from technical secondary school, all the courses of 13 passed.
After graduating from technical secondary school, Gao Huijun naturally found a job. Although the work and rest were irregular and the conditions were difficult, he still didn't give up studying and didn't forget to pursue. In order to take the undergraduate course by himself, he used all available time to study and often worked while studying in a machine tool. He often falls asleep unconsciously when reading at night, and continues to study after waking up. Those books covered with machine tool oil stains confirm that difficult time. "I remember riding a bicycle to and from the unit, registration point and examination room in Xi 'an, the ancient city, in order to save the fare. I remember that life at that time often made ends meet, and I often needed to borrow money to buy materials and pay registration fees. (Sun, inspirational quote) I still clearly remember that when I encountered problems, I stayed up all night, and I couldn't get the pain and helplessness of consulting. How many times I wanted to give up, I gritted my teeth and persisted; I still remember, because I didn't save enough money, I couldn't go home to visit my father who was seriously ill in bed for several months and my mother who was hospitalized with stomach bleeding ... "Speaking of those years, Gao Huijun is still vivid.
"No one is born like suffering, but grew up in Heilongjiang. Heilongjiang people have a spirit of daring to bear hardships and not admitting defeat. Daqing spirit, Iron Man spirit and Great Northern Wilderness spirit have existed in our bones since childhood. " Gao Huijun said. In this way, in two years, he passed all 15 courses required by the self-study exam and got the undergraduate diploma.
God helps those who help themselves.
Some people say that dissatisfaction is the wheel of progress. Gao Huijun just felt that he still had the ability to learn better, so he embarked on the road of postgraduate entrance examination. If you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you have to lose your job. Without a job and financial resources, I spent that hard time with a little savings and family support.
I got more than 350 points in the postgraduate entrance examination and was admitted to Shenyang University of Technology. During her master's degree, Gao Huijun seized every minute to learn English and learn professional knowledge. Get up early every day to listen to English radio, recite words, read aloud and participate in English corner ... so it took two years. When he graduated, all his classmates chose between various high-paying positions, but he made another amazing choice-to continue studying for a doctorate. 200 1 successfully entered the school of aeronautics and astronautics of Harbin Institute of Technology to pursue a doctoral degree, and began to engage in scientific research and explore new research directions under the guidance of his tutor.
Gao Huijun's belief at that time was to strive for the best research work. Harbin Institute of Technology's superior scientific research conditions and atmosphere provide a great space for display. During his Ph.D., he published dozens of high-level academic papers in authoritative journals at home and abroad, and was the first person in the history of control discipline in Harbin Institute of Technology to obtain national excellent papers.
Love returned to the black land.
From June 5438+00, 2005 to June 5438+00, 2007, Gao Huijun went to university of alberta to do postdoctoral research, which was supported by two famous research funds-Alberta Innovation Fund and Killam Postdoctoral Fund. After the research work, he can choose to be a Humboldt scholar in Germany, a visiting researcher in Britain, and continue his teaching and research work in North American universities. Gao Huijun bluntly said: "The scientific research environment in foreign countries is better than that in China, and his wife and children can live better materially." But with a feeling and a responsibility, he returned to his hometown to be a doctoral tutor and devoted all his energy to teaching and scientific research. Xiao Songni, the student he directed, won a full scholarship from Yale University and was the first student in our province to enter Yale. Now, Gao Huijun has started the research on bionic robot and flight control, and cooperated with famous universities at home and abroad, striving to better apply the theoretical research results to practice and make contributions to the national space cause.
