Seven experts from the School of Mechanical Engineering (SME) were on the 2020 Highly Cited Chinese Researchers list released by Elsevier, an academic publishing giant. They are Academician Gu Peihua and Professor Sun Tao in Mechanical Engineering, Professor Wang Yuesheng and Professor Ke Liaoliang in Mechanics, and Professor Yao Mingfa, Professor Yao Chunde and Professor Liu Haifeng in Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics.

In recent years, SME has been committed to building a high-level scientific research team and put much emphasis on Elsevier's Highly Cited Chinese Researchers. The selection indicates that the School's introduction and cultivation of high-level talents have made great achievements.

Elsevier's "Highly Cited Chinese Researchers" uses Scopus, the world's authoritative citation and index database, to count up and analyze the research results of Chinese researchers. It has received great attention from a lot of media and researchers from home and abroad. This is the seventh time that Elsevier has officially released the list since 2015. This year, a total of 4,023 researchers from 373 universities, enterprises and scientific research institutions are on the list, covering 84 first-level disciplines in 10 subjects approved by China's Ministry of Education.

The inclusion in the list means that the researchers exert world-class influence in their research fields and their research achievements have made significant contributions to the development of the fields.
