Abstract

As early as about 2400 years ago, Mozi (original name Mo Di, Latinized as Micius), an ancient Chinese scientist, proposed the theory of pinhole imaging that demonstrates the fundamental principle of light behavior. About 700 years ago, Marco Polo, an Italian explorer, traveled to China along the Silk Road, marveled at the economic prosperity and the advanced technology of Hangzhou City in China, and described Hangzhou as “the most beautiful and splendid city in the world”. About 5 years ago, with the support of the China-proposed Belt-and-Road Initiative, it was in Hangzhou City that Professor Pavlos Savvidis, an Armenian-born Greek physicist, chose to work with more of his Chinese counterparts and took on the challenge of building a new research laboratory on quantum optoelectronics. He used to study and work in the UK, the USA, and Greece, but now in New China’s first new type of research university supported by the society—Westlake University. Traveling from West to East, traversing from one civilization to another, Professor Pavlos Savvidis delves into his unwavering quest for light in this issue of “Light People”, and discusses his tireless pursuit of excellence in the field of optoelectronics, which has garnered him widespread citation, recognition, and contribution to the global scientific community.

从西方到东方帕夫洛斯-萨维迪斯教授对光明的探索
早在约 2400 年前,中国古代科学家墨子(原名墨翟,拉丁化为 Micius)就提出了针孔成像理论,证明了光行为的基本原理。约 700 年前,意大利探险家马可-波罗沿着丝绸之路来到中国,惊叹于中国杭州的经济繁荣和科技发达,并称杭州为 "世界上最美丽、最辉煌的城市"。大约 5 年前,在中国提出的 "一带一路 "倡议的支持下,出生于亚美尼亚的希腊物理学家帕夫洛斯-萨维迪斯(Pavlos Savvidis)教授选择在杭州市与更多的中国同行合作,并接受了建立一个新的量子光学研究实验室的挑战。他曾在英国、美国和希腊学习和工作,现在则来到了新中国第一所社会支持的新型研究型大学--西湖大学。从西方到东方,从一个文明穿越到另一个文明,帕夫洛斯-萨维迪斯教授在本期 "光人 "杂志中深入探讨了他对光的不懈追求,讲述了他在光电子学领域孜孜不倦的卓越追求,为他赢得了广泛的赞誉和认可,并为全球科学界做出了贡献。

期刊介绍: ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is interested in receiving manuscripts that discuss various aspects of medicinal chemistry. The journal will publish studies that pertain to a broad range of subject matter, including compound design and optimization, biological evaluation, drug delivery, imaging agents, and pharmacology of both small and large bioactive molecules. Specific areas include but are not limited to: Identification, synthesis, and optimization of lead biologically active molecules and drugs (small molecules and biologics) Biological characterization of new molecular entities in the context of drug discovery Computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification or SAR analysis of bioactive molecules, ligands and their targets, etc. Novel and improved methodologies, including radiation biochemistry, with broad application to medicinal chemistry Discovery technologies for biologically active molecules from both synthetic and natural (plant and other) sources Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies that address mechanisms underlying drug disposition and response Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies used to enhance drug design and the translation of medicinal chemistry into the clinic Mechanistic drug metabolism and regulation of metabolic enzyme gene expression Chemistry patents relevant to the medicinal chemistry field.
