Pan Junhua ( Chinese: 潘君骅; 14 October 1930 – 18 December 2023) was a Chinese applied optics engineer, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He was a member of the Chinese Communist Party. [1] [2]
Pan was born in Shanghai, on 14 October 1930, while his ancestral home in Changzhou, Jiangsu. [1] [2] He attended the Wukang County Middle School and Shanghai Nanyang Model High School. [1] In 1949, he was accepted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tsinghua University. [1] [2] After university in 1952, he was despatched to the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics. [1] [2] In 1956, he went to the Pulkovo Observatory in the Soviet Union to study astronomical optics and obtained an associate doctoral degree under the supervision of academician Maksutov (马克苏托夫). [1] [2]
He returned to China in 1960 and continued to work at the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics. [1] [2] In 1980, he was transferred to the Nanjing Astronomical Instrument Research Center, where he led the development of a 2.16-meter optical astronomical telescope, which earned him the First Class of State Science and Technology Progress Award in 1998. [1] [2] He became a researcher at the Institute of Modern Optics, Suzhou University in May 2000. [1] [2]
In 2019, an asteroid with the international designation 216331 was officially named "Pan Junhua Asteroid" in recognition of Pan's significant contributions in the field of applied optics research for a long time. [1] [2]
