Tibet University has 1 academicians, who are Professor Nima Tashi. In 2023, he was elected as an academician of China Academy of Engineering.

Nima Tashi (1966-April 25th, 2020), male, Tibetan, from Zang County, Tibet, joined the work in July 1985, and joined the China * * * Production Party in June/995. Postgraduate in Physical Geography, Institute of Geography, China Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Science. Second-level researcher.

He has served as deputy director and director of Agricultural Science and Technology Exchange and Training Department of Xizang Autonomous Region Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, director of Agricultural Research Institute of Xizang Autonomous Region Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and vice president and dean of Xizang Autonomous Region Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

On September 5, 2020, Nima Tashi had a car accident while on a business trip and died after being rescued at the age of 55.

On February 25th, 20021year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council decided to posthumously award Nima Tashi the title of "National Advanced Individual for Poverty Alleviation".

He has been engaged in genetic breeding and high-yield and efficient cultivation techniques of highland barley for a long time. The breeding objectives of Tibetan highland barley were studied and formulated, and 20 new highland barley varieties were bred, among which "Zangqing 2000" was the main breeding variety of Tibetan highland barley, accounting for more than 50% of the highland barley planting area.

In recent five years, a breakthrough new highland barley line with high yield and lodging resistance, such as 13-5 17 1-7, has been bred. He presided over projects such as transformation demonstration of scientific and technological achievements in planting industry, adjustment of planting structure, crop breeding, highland barley breeding and cultivation, demonstration of agricultural standardization technology and demonstration and popularization of new varieties, screened out new varieties, introduced new technologies, integrated practical technologies, promoted farmers' income and increased agricultural efficiency, and realized double benefits of technological innovation and economy of 100 million yuan.

It is the first time in Tibet to put forward the viewpoint that Tibetan highland barley has high β -glucan content, nutritional and health care functions and deep processing, and organize related projects to promote the development of Tibetan highland barley industry. Initiated and presided over the joint sequencing of highland barley genome, and constructed the first whole genome map of highland barley in the world, which laid the foundation for functional genomics research and molecular improvement of highland barley.

He presided over 2 national support projects, 2 major scientific and technological projects in the autonomous region and 4 international cooperation projects, of which 1 won the autonomous region scientific and technological achievement award 15, including 3 first prizes, 5 second prizes and 7 third prizes of the autonomous region scientific and technological progress award; Obtained 4 invention patents; Published 47 papers by the first or correspondent author in SCI such as NC, PNAS, BMC Genome and domestic academic journals; Published 3 English monographs, 6 Chinese monographs, edited and published popular science books 18 volumes.
