On 22nd November, the results of the 2023 Academician co-option of the two academies were announced, and a total of 74 Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) were elected by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) in the 2023 Academician co-option. Professor Qingquan Li was elected as an academician of the Civil Engineering, Water Resources and Architecture Division of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, becoming the first academician produced by SZU since its establishment 40 years ago, and the fourth academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering produced by Shenzhen itself! Professor Emeritus Ranjith Pathegama Gamage (Ranjith Pathegama Gamage) of Shenzhen University was elected as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) on the basis of Shenzhen University. The two newly elected academicians are Professor and Honorary Professor of the College of Civil and Transportation Engineering.

Professor Qingquan Li is the Secretary of the Party Committee of Shenzhen University, Doctor of Engineering, Second Class Professor, Doctoral Supervisor, 973 Chief Scientist, and a member of the Expert Group of Modern Transportation of 863 Programme of the Ministry of Science and Technology in the 11th Five-Year Plan. He has been engaged in the research of innovative theory and independent equipment of dynamic precision engineering measurement for a long time, and has constructed the theory and method of dynamic precision engineering measurement to meet the challenge of "fast, complete and accurate measurement" faced by deformation measurement, and has made groundbreaking breakthroughs in the technology of instantaneous deformation, apparent deformation and internal deformation measurement, and has invented and developed independent measurement equipments for the industries such as highways, railways, subways, municipalities and water conservancy, The research results have been applied on a large scale in the field of civil engineering infrastructure inspection and monitoring in China, realising the independent control, domestic substitution and export of equipment overseas, leading the innovative development of the discipline, promoting the technological leap in the industry, and establishing the international leading position in dynamic precision engineering measurement. His research results have served major national projects such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the Winter Olympics Speed Skating Pavilion, and the Shenzhen-China Corridor.

Professor Qingquan Li is currently the vice president of the Chinese Society of Surveying and Mapping, vice president of the International Society for Urban Informatics (ISUIS), academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, and the editor-in-chief of the Asia-Pacific region of the journal Urban Informatics. He has been awarded the Second Prize of National Technological Invention, the Second Prize of National Scientific and Technological Progress, the National Scientific and Technological Progress Award (Innovation Team), the Ho Leung Ho Lee Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress, the National Award for Innovation and Pioneering, the Chinese Youth Science and Technology Award, and the International Award for Outstanding Contributions to Mobile Surveying. He has authorised more than 80 invention patents, published 7 books, including the first Chinese-English monograph "Dynamic Precision Engineering Measurement" in this field, and published more than 260 SCI papers, with more than 20,000 citations in Google and 76 H-indexes, and has been selected as "Lifelong Scientific Influence Ranking" by Stanford University.

Emeritus Professor Ranjith Pathegama Gamage of Shenzhen University has been elected as a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering on the basis of Shenzhen University. Professor Ranjith Pathegama Gamage, male, born in 1968, is currently a professor at Monash University in Australia and an Honorary Professor at Shenzhen University.

Warm congratulations to them on their election! Their election will certainly lay a more solid foundation for the accelerated development of the Academy's disciplines towards the pinnacle disciplines!
