In 30, a female scholar who was only 0 years old caused a sensation in the global scientific research community.

She had just completed her postdoctoral research at Harvard University, and in the face of the annual salary of tens of millions of yuan and the excellent living conditions of several top institutions in the United States, she did not hesitate to make a decision that shocked the world and returned to China!

Zhao Huichan, the Tsinghua female student, chose to return to her motherland and devote herself to the cause of science and technology that she loved, what kind of hardships did she have in between?

As a child who has been interested in machinery and technology since she was a child, Zhao Huichan's scientific research path has not been smooth.

As a child, she showed a different interest in building blocks into the mechanical device of her imagination, not in pursuit of trends and entertainment.

Her parents thought it was just a short-lived interest, but they didn't expect that Zhao Huichan's interest would accompany her throughout her childhood and eventually determine her career path.

At Tsinghua University, she chose to major in mechanical engineering, although there are not many girls in this major, but she has never been afraid, after graduation, Zhao Huichan did not stop, but decided to go to the United States and enter Cornell University for further study.

There, she devoted herself to the study of robotics and achieved a lot of success, and it was then that Harvard University threw an olive branch to her, giving her countless opportunities and temptations: a high salary, a luxurious laboratory, and a comfortable living environment......

Zhao Huichan was not attracted by these, because the real purpose of her going abroad was not for personal glory and wealth, but to better contribute to the motherland's scientific and technological cause.

It was at this time that Zhao Huichan made a life-changing decision, she decided to return to China, for many people, staying in the United States will mean a broader scientific research platform, higher salary and richer resources, but Zhao Huichan does not think so, returning to China is more significant to her.

After returning to China, she immediately set her sights on flexible robotics, an area that is considered the key to China's robotics breakthrough in the "stuck neck" problem.

Zhao Huichan's scientific research direction is not only destined to solve personal scientific research problems, but to contribute her wisdom to the country's technological progress.

In the face of the scientific research bottleneck that had not been completely broken through in China at that time, Zhao Huichan did not hesitate to devote herself to it and began to study flexible robots that could be applied to many fields such as medical treatment, detection, and even archaeology.

In this process, Zhao Huichan constantly faced pressure from different aspects at home and abroad, she had to face the competition in the academic world, but also to overcome technical problems in practical application, how to make her research better serve the society, has become her greatest pursuit.

In the research of flexible robots, Zhao Huichan led a team to overcome a number of key technical challenges, and her team first developed intelligent prosthetics and exoskeleton technologies, which have brought hope to thousands of people with disabilities.

While traditional prostheses are powerful but complex and inflexible, Zhao's research connects flexible materials to the human nervous system, allowing prostheses to respond naturally to the user's movements and achieve precise control.

What's more, the soft appearance and comfort of the prosthesis make the user almost forget that it exists, as if "a new arm has grown".

Such breakthrough technologies quickly attracted widespread attention, quickly achieved remarkable results in China, and led the trend of related research around the world.

Zhao Huichan's flexible robot technology has opened up a new path for the rehabilitation of people with disabilities and the improvement of their quality of life.

Flexible robotics has a wide range of applications and can also play an important role in many complex environments.

For example, Zhao Huichan and her team developed a miniature detection robot that can enter channels with a diameter of only a few millimeters for detection, solving the problem that traditional hard robots cannot enter small spaces.

This technology is of great significance in many fields, such as deep-sea exploration and archaeological excavations, and in some cases, robots are able to replace humans in dangerous or inaccessible environments to accomplish tasks that humans cannot do.

Through continuous exploration and practice, her team has promoted China's breakthrough in flexible robotics technology, broken the technological blockade of foreign countries in this field, and made China's robotics technology at the forefront of the world.

With the continuous efforts of the team, Zhao's research results have gradually been applied in a wider range of fields, but he has not stopped there.

In the early days of the outbreak, her team began to develop a throat swab sampling robot, which improved sampling efficiency, reduced the risk of cross-infection, and provided effective protection for medical staff.

As the team gradually makes one technological breakthrough after another, Zhao Huichan is not satisfied with simple technology research and development, she pays more attention to how to translate these results into practical applications that are beneficial to society.

However, the road of scientific research is not smooth, only by constantly breaking through their own technical limitations can they promote the progress of the entire industry, and it is this dual sense of responsibility to science and technology and society that prompts her to never flinch in the face of difficulties.

After returning to Tsinghua University, Zhao Huichan still faces great challenges, although she is already an associate professor with an extensive academic reputation and deep research capabilities.

When focusing on the frontier field of flexible robots, Zhao Huichan not only overcomes technical problems, but also needs to continuously promote the improvement of the scientific research environment to support the work of the team, but she always adheres to her belief and contributes to the country's scientific and technological development!

為了讓自己的團隊在科研上有所突破，趙慧嬋將自己獲得的青橙科技獎100萬元獎金全數投入到實驗室的建設中。

Excellent scientific research is inseparable from advanced equipment and good scientific research conditions, so she used the prize money to purchase the latest scientific research equipment, providing better experimental conditions for team members and ensuring that they can conduct research in a more efficient environment.

Despite the financial support, Zhao Huichan did not relax her requirements because of the temporary convenience, she always focused on cultivating the hands-on ability of students and team members, and encouraged everyone to think independently and take the initiative to solve problems in experiments.

Her laboratory is a place for technical research, but also a base for the collision of ideas, Zhao Huichan has never been stingy to share her experience, she hopes that through her own efforts, she can cultivate a group of independent and innovative scientific research talents.

However, the hardships of scientific research are not only reflected in the support of funds and equipment, but also the need to face bottlenecks and setbacks in scientific research.

In the process of soft robot research, Zhao Huichan has encountered many technical problems, especially in how to make the robot more flexible and accurate, the team members have experienced countless failures, but each failure of the experiment has made her team's morale more excited.

It is this indomitable spirit that has helped Zhao Huichan and her team overcome one difficulty after another, and although the road to scientific research is full of hardships, Zhao Huichan does not feel that it is a burden, but sees it as a mission.

Zhao Huichan's story is not limited to scientific research and innovation, after returning to Tsinghua University, she is a scientist and a dedicated teacher.

As an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University, Zhao Huichan has always focused on integrating her research results with teaching.

In her classes, students learn about cutting-edge robotics and how to face challenges and difficulties in scientific research.

Zhao Huichan often disassembles complex scientific principles into simple and easy-to-understand language to help students understand those advanced theories, her teaching style is vivid and infectious, and the interaction in the classroom makes students enthusiastic, dare to ask questions, dare to think, and stimulate their strong interest in technology.

Not only that, Zhao Huichan is not satisfied with the teaching of classroom teaching, she pays more attention to cultivating students' hands-on ability and independent thinking ability.

She encourages students to participate in real-world research projects, acquire skills through hands-on work, and improve their ability to solve real-world problems, so her lab is an ideal research platform for students

In addition, Zhao Huichan has implemented an open management model in the laboratory to encourage more students to participate in scientific research projects, and she does not see herself as a high-ranking scholar, but is willing to explore and make progress together with students.

Zhao Huichan's scientific research and teaching achievements are no longer just personal glory, but important contributions to the national science and technology cause.

Under her leadership, the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University has cultivated a group of outstanding young scholars, who will inherit the spirit of Zhao Huichan and continue to contribute to the scientific and technological development of the motherland in the future scientific research path.

Zhao Huichan is a leader in the field of science, but also a role model given to us by the times, her research and contributions have provided strength for China's scientific and technological progress, but also brought more hope to the society.

As Zhao Huichan said, science and technology should not only solve technical problems, but also serve society and mankind.
