On September 29, the Qinghua Human Resources WeChat account published a post titled "Qingjiao Award Special Feature | Hu Zhenzhong: Practicing 'Educating the Children of Heaven, Cultivating the Pillars of the State'". It reported on my winning the Qinghua University Young Teachers Teaching Award (Qingjiao Award). See link for details.

"The world's top 100 universities are all about educating people, and the top profession in the world is still teaching." I have always used this to encourage myself, and I have been dedicated to teaching on the platform of Tsinghua University, carrying out the initial aspirations and missions of education. Tsinghua University's emphasis on education and teaching, and its advocacy of ethical conduct among teachers, have made me feel a great sense of responsibility. This award is not only an affirmation of my personal teaching practice, but also an encouragement to the young teachers at Tsinghua University.

Thank you for the recent push of Tsinghua Personnel Public Account, which gives me the opportunity to share my teaching experience with more educational colleagues.

The "Science and Technology Innovation Conference on Smart Ocean Engineering" special conference, guided by the China Ocean Society, jointly organized by Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School, CNOOC Oilfield Services Co., Ltd. (referred to as "CNOOC Engineering"), and the China Ocean Engineering Research Institute (Qingdao), was successfully held at the Shanghai Cross-Border Procurement Exhibition and Convention Center on September 25th and 26th. The conference, with the theme of "Multidisciplinary Integration, Synergy between Industry, Academia, and Research, Promoting the Development of Smart Ocean Engineering with New Quality," attracted over 500 professionals from universities, research institutes, and ocean engineering enterprises across the country to participate. I served as the conference chairperson and presided over the report session.

The session focused on the research and development, digitalization, intelligence, and industrialization progress of marine engineering equipment. Li Sunwei, a teacher, gave a sharing report on "The Trend of Marine Engineering Digitalization and Intelligence and Its Software Foundation," providing valuable academic insights and practical experience to the attendees. Students from the research team, Li Yilin, He Jiaze, and Jiang Xiyuan, also participated in the event, actively engaging in academic exchanges and technical discussions.

This conference brought together many top experts and industry leaders from prestigious universities such as Tsinghua University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian University of Technology, and South China University of Technology, as well as leading enterprises in the industry, such as COOEC, China Classification Society, China Information and Communications Research Institute, and Anshi Aipu Technology Co., Ltd. Through focusing on the new directions, forms, technologies, and applications of marine digitalization, the conference not only promoted deep cooperation between academia and industry, but also contributed valuable wisdom and strength to the transformation and upgrading of smart marine engineering, the development of marine engineering digitalization, the construction of future competitive advantages and emerging industrial chains.

BIM- and 4D-based integrated solution of analysis and management for conflicts and structural safety problems during  construction: 1. Principles and methodologies. He has been cited 400 times on Google Academics. In addition, It is complemented by another research article BIM- and 4D-based integrated solution of analysis and management for conflicts and structural safety problems during construction: 2. Development and site trials. The number of citations on Google Scholar also reached 200, and the two articles combined for 620 citations.

Strengthening construction safety analysis and management has important social and economic significance. However, for a long time, there has been a lack of effective management tools in this important area involving people's lives and property. Based on the new progress of building information modeling (BIM), four-dimensional (4D) technology, time-varying structure analysis and collision detection, a four-dimensional structure information model is proposed and established according to the overall solution of analysis and management of conflict and safety problems in the construction process. Based on this submodel, the integration of dynamic safety analysis of time-dependent structures, conflict analysis and management of schedule/resources/costs, and dynamic collision detection of on-site facilities is studied, and the theory and key techniques are discussed in detail. The research results provide a feasible theory and method for the integrated application of BIM. In addition, by integrating construction simulation, 4D construction management and safety analysis, a new method for conflict and safety analysis in the construction process is proposed. This method lays a foundation for the popularization of complex theories and methods, and has theoretical significance and application prospects in meeting the needs of improving the construction safety level.

Note: Automation in Construction is a top-tier journal in the field of engineering technology, currently with an impact factor of 10.3. The first author of the paper is Professor Zhang Jianping from the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University, and I am the corresponding author.

From August 9 to 11, the 11th International Conference on Coastal and Ocean Engineering (ICCOE 2024) was held in Yantai, Shandong. Liu Yi, a doctoral student from the research group, attended the conference and presented a report titled "Real-time Monitoring and Analysis for Digital Twin of Floating Wind Turbine," which introduced the group's work on real-time monitoring and analysis of floating wind turbines. The demand for clean energy has made floating wind turbines an increasingly viable option. However, their operation and maintenance face many challenges, and the advent of digital twins offers a potential solution. The research proposed a monitoring and analysis framework for the digital twin of floating wind turbines, covering three main aspects: marine environment, turbine pose, and structural state. For the tower structure of floating wind turbines, a state inversion method based on limited sensors was proposed, capable of quickly providing comprehensive structural health information. Building on this, a scaled model of the turbine was constructed, and the proposed methods were applied to the monitoring and analysis of actual turbines, achieving a complete process from data sensing, data storage, data integration and fusion, to feedback control, thus forming an information closed-loop between the physical and virtual worlds. By deeply integrating digital models, marine environment, and turbine state data, a complete digital twin of the floating wind turbine was constructed, providing critical support for making turbine state information transparent, managing safety risks, intelligently adjusting parameters, and aiding informed decision-making.

Note: The ICCOE conference is held annually and aims to promote research and development activities in coastal and ocean engineering and to facilitate the exchange of scientific information among researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners from home and abroad. It serves as an ideal platform for sharing ideas and experiences in coastal and ocean engineering and related fields.
