知名数学家钱弘在美国工作四十余年后回到中国

A Notable Homecoming for China’s Scientific Legacy
钱氏科学家归国引关注

Mathematician Qian Hong, long based in the United States, has returned to China after more than 40 years abroad, drawing widespread attention due to his family’s historic scientific influence. Formerly an endowed professor at the University of Washington, Qian has joined Westlake University in Hangzhou as a chair professor at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies. His move breaks a decades-long family pattern in which leading members of the Qian scientific clan built major careers in the US. The Qian legacy includes pioneers such as Qian Baojun in chemical fibres, Qian Xuesen, father of China’s rocket programme, and nuclear research founder Qian Sanqiang. Qian Hong’s return highlights a growing trend of top scientists relocating to China.
知名数学家钱弘在美国工作四十余年后回到中国，引发广泛关注，原因在于其家族在中国科学史中的重要地位。钱弘原为华盛顿大学的冠名教授，如今加入杭州的西湖大学跨学科研究中心，担任全职讲席教授。他的回国打破了钱氏家族长期在美国发展的传统。钱家曾涌现多位科学巨擘，包括化纤先驱钱宝钧、中国火箭之父钱学森及核研究奠基人钱三强。钱弘的回归，也反映越来越多顶尖科学家选择回流中国的趋势。
