Lei yi'an, ​B.E., Ph.D.

---

Dr. Lei is an associate professor in theoretical physics, and the director of high-performance computer center in Beijing University. He had a B.E. degree from Hefei University of Technology in 1989, self-taught physics and became a graduate student in theoretical physics, Beijing University. Acquired his computer skills in graduate research, worked two years as a post-doc in the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Academy of Sciences, China, Dr. Lei went back to Beijing University as an associate professor in 1997. In almost all his assigned research fields including quantum computing, advanced nuclear energy, fusion energy, etc., he became skeptical to the ideas soon after his own initial investigations, which lead to the long stagnation in his main career track. Dr. Lei has been enthusiastic in the healthy sustainable long-term development of humanity since his early academic years. In 2013, he wrote a book, the next revolution, discussing feasible technology pathways of sustainable development, including vertical city, artificial environment agriculture, renewable energy system, ocean regeneration, etc. His reservative view about nuclear energy development is also influential in China.

1968年出生于湖南桂阳，北京大学物理学院理论物理所副教授，北京大学高性能计算中心主任。1989年毕业于合肥工业大学金属材料系，获工学学士学位。大学期间，对物理产生浓厚兴趣，自学了所有大学物理课程，应届考入北大物理系理论物理专业，师从曾谨言教授从事原子核结构，量子力学基础理论研究，1995年获理学博士学位。1995-97年在中科院理论物理所做博士后，从事核物理理论研究。1997年回北大物理系理论室任教，兼任计算机室主任。2002-03年在美国内布拉斯加大学林肯分校计算机系访问，从事高性能计算，计算物理，计算化学等方面研究。2003年回国，根据学校安排进入聚变领域，先后提出多种聚变概念，并对多种先进核能概念进行了深入调研。长期关注人类社会的健康发展，希望找到社会发展的可能技术路线。2013年著有《下一次革命》一书，提出社会持续长远发展的一些技术途径，包括智能三维城市，高原人工环境农业，全可再生能源体系，海洋绿化等。积极提倡社会持续健康发展。认为应该正视核能的问题，慎重发展核能，相关文章在社会上有很大影响。
