知名院士學者

徐揚生院士 (Academician Xu Yangsheng)

 

徐揚生教授，中國工程院院士，香港中文大學（深圳）校長。同時兼任中國科學院深圳先進技術研究院副院長。他出生於浙江紹興，一九八二年及一九八四年分別獲得浙江大學學士、碩士學位，一九八九年獲得美國賓夕法尼亞大學博士學位，一九八九至一九九七年在美國卡耐基梅隆大學從事空間機器人研究，自一九九七年起在香港中文大學任教，並擔任系主任、協理副校長、副校長等職。自二O一三年八月開始，擔任香港中文大學（深圳）校長。

 

徐院士研究的領域包括機器人、控制與動力學，包括空間機器人、服務機器人、穿戴式人機界面、智慧混合動力汽車。徐教授發表了六部專著、三百多篇國際期刊論文和國際學術會議論文，獲選為中國工程院院士、國際宇航科學院院士、IEEE院士、國際歐亞科學院院士以及香港工程科學院院士。

 

徐院士認為學習書法：第一要「看」。現代人忙碌，雖然不一定有機會寫，卻可以利用時間多看。徐院士習慣帶本字帖，或是利用手提電腦，在機場，在酒店都可以看。多看能使人博采群長，學藝深厚；第二是要「放」。漢代蔡邕曾說：「書者，散也。欲書先散懷抱，任情恣性，然後書之。」他發現有時為友人或為展覽而寫，結果常常不很滿意。自己隨性亂塗，卻常有些理想的作品產生。「放」就是將自己的美自然流露出來，而不是故意去表現那個「美」，這樣的作品才是真正美的。
