Once solved the bottleneck problem, a female professor born in 1985 served as the vice president of Jiangsu University, Comrade Automotive Professor
According to the official WeChat official account of Jiangsu University, on the morning of August 17, Jiangsu University held a meeting for the members of the new leadership and read out the appointment decisions of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government: Comrade Zhang Jijian was appointed as the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Jiangsu University; Comrade Wang Jingquan is appointed as a member and standing committee member of the Party Committee of Jiangsu University; Yang Daojian, Wang Jingquan, Ren Xudong, and Cai Yingfeng are the vice presidents of Jiangsu University.
The above news shows that Cai Yingfeng, a young scholar born in 1985, has been appointed as the Vice President of Jiangsu University.

According to the official website of Jiangsu University, Cai Yingfeng, female, professor, doctoral supervisor, recipient of the National Outstanding Youth Fund, and young scholar of the Ministry of Education. Executive Vice Dean of the Graduate School of Jiangsu University and Director of the Jiangsu Province Intelligent Vehicle and its Operation Engineering Research Center. Bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees from Southeast University, and study and exchange at Michigan State University and the University of Hong Kong in the United States.
Cai Yingfeng is engaged in research on the theory and methods of perception and dynamic control of complex environments in intelligent vehicles. He has led more than ten national and provincial level projects and won three first prizes and two second prizes at the provincial and ministerial levels. Unusual promotion to professor and doctoral supervisor. Cai Yingfeng has been selected for the China Association for Science and Technology's Youth Talent Support Project, China Automotive Industry Excellent Youth Talent Award, Jiangsu Province's Top Ten Youth Science and Technology Stars, Jiangsu Youth May Fourth Medal, Jiangsu Province's "Six Talent Peaks" Innovation Talent Team Leader, Jiangsu Province Excellent Youth, and more.
Cai Yingfeng has served as the Vice President, Executive Vice President, and Dean of the Automotive Engineering Research Institute of Jiangsu University, as well as the Executive Vice President of the Graduate School of Jiangsu University. She also briefly served as the Deputy District Mayor of Dantu District People's Government in Zhenjiang City.
In April 2020, the Jiangsu media Xinhua Daily published an article titled "The Intelligent Car Dream of the Female Dean", introducing that Professor Cai Yingfeng, the dean of the Automotive Engineering Research Institute of Jiangsu University, born in 1985, told reporters that after being admitted to Southeast University, a typical engineering college, she coincidentally entered the field of automotive intelligence.
The article introduces that Cai Yingfeng's university supervisor is a researcher in automotive electronics and started research on automotive intelligence earlier in China. "At that time, my master's program was the development of embedded lane departure warning devices. During my studies, I participated as the main backbone in several intelligent related projects, which enabled me to master solid professional knowledge of automotive intelligence." She said, "However, at that time, the domestic environment was not as good as it is now, and there was not as much support and emphasis on intelligence as it is now. There were not so many projects," but we did not give up and have been persistently cultivating this direction. "
The "Young" Automotive Engineering Research Institute of Jiangsu University is led by the equally young Cai Yingfeng. "The establishment of this research institute conforms to the trend of building research-oriented universities," said Cai Yingfeng. When the institute was first established, there were only 7 people, mainly from the field of vehicle dynamics research. With continuous development, the design theories of intelligent vehicles and electric vehicles, as well as intelligent transportation and intelligent connected vehicles, have become the three major research directions now. "We have five research institutes around these three major areas, such as the Electric Vehicle Drive and Control Institute, Vehicle NVH Institute, Intelligent Vehicle Institute, Intelligent Transportation Institute, and Battery Institute."
Cai Yingfeng's achievements have broken foreign technological monopolies and solved the bottleneck problem of ADAS systems in complex driving environments in China. But from researchers to research leaders, Cai Yingfeng will also encounter many difficulties of different natures. "For example, from a larger perspective, having doubts and negations about the originally established research direction and technical route requires calm thinking, streamlining relationships, learning more from predecessors, and communicating more with peers. The research direction is like the direction of a ship, determining your research path for the next few years or even longer, which is crucial." She said, while from a smaller perspective, such as algorithm debugging and actual vehicle debugging, encountering a series of confusing problems requires continuous experimentation and exploration, using network resources to seek help, and communicating with industry experts more. "This also makes me constantly whip and motivate myself, and only by constantly improving can I have a foothold."
