SPST Dr. Mi Qixi’s group reported their new progress in lead-free perovskite materials in a paper entitled “Band Alignment Boosts Charge–Carrier Collection in Sn-Based Perovskite over Pb Counterparts,” published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters and was highlighted as a cover illustration.The group previously discovered that CsSnBr3 (cesium tin bromide) has excellent semico...

SIST Assistant Professor Chen Baile’s group demonstrated high-speed photodetector at 2-micron waveband. This photodetector, operating at 2-micron wavelength band, has a high 3dB bandwidth up to 25 GHz, and achieves a clear eye pattern at 30 Gb/s. It is reportedly the fastest photodetector operating at 2-micron. Their achievement was recently published in Optica in an article entitled “High-...

Recently, SPST Lin Bolin’s group developed heterovalent doped 2D Ruddlesden-Popper organic lead halide perovskites and their work was published in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in an article titled “Bi3+ doped 2D Ruddlesden-Popper Organic Lead Halide Perovskites.”Two-dimensional Ruddlesdan-Popper organic lead halide perovskites (2D RPPs) are a kind of semiconducting material that hav...

Recently, many papers from SIST’s Intelligent Vision Center have been received by four top international artificial intelligence conferences. 2019 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) received seven articles, 2019 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) received three articles, 2019 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML)...

When the Class of 2019 graduates cross the stage to receive their diplomas later this week, they will be representing the best ShanghaiTech has to offer. The paths they took converged for four years on campus together, and now they prepare to head off in different directions. Four students shared their journeys to and from ShanghaiTech. Gao Hanwen- Taking the LeapGao Hanwen, a senior fro...

Institute of Mathematical Sciences Founding Director Professor Xiuxiong Chen’s work has earned him distinction by the Simons Foundation, which named him one of its 2019 Simons Investigators, announced in the June 25th edition of The New York Times. Professor Chen works in the field of differential geometry which investigates relations among various structures on shaped spaces. The world that...

Recently, the 53th IEEE International Conference on Communications (IEEE ICC 2019) was held in Shanghai, China, attracting almost 3,000 participants including talented scientists, researchers, and industry practitioners from all over the world. With the theme of “Empowering Intelligent Communications,” this flagship conference aims to provide a platform for sharing and demonstrating cutting-edge...

SIST Assistant Professor Wang Cheng’s group proposed a Q-switched quantum-dot semiconductor laser based on a new physical mechanism in a recent issue of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, with the title of “Intensity Noise and Pulse Oscillations of an InAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Laser on Germanium.” This laser doesn’t require an absorber section which are required byt conven...

Many natural biological systems—such as biofilms, shells and skeletal tissues—create multifunctional and environmentally responsive multiscale assemblies of living and non-living components. Such living materials grow, self-repair, and adapt to the environment, possessing many living attributes that are unattainable for most artificial materials. Taking inspiration from nature and leveraging the p...

Recently, SPST Yang Xiaoyu’s group have achieved highly enantioselective synthesis of tertiary 2-amidoallylic alcohols, and their research was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition with the title of “Kinetic Resolution of Tertiary 2-Alkoxycarboxamido-allylic Alcohols by Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Intramolecular Transesterification.”Chiral alcohols are important building blo...

Li Yike, a senior computer science student in the School of Information Science and Technology and a finance minor still remembers her first week on campus. “I felt curious about everything!” Li is always on the search for something new to try, and that may be why she decided to attend ShanghaiTech, even though the new university’s campus was still very much under construction. “I like to do n...

As one of just the second undergraduate class to graduate from ShanghaiTech, Xie Zhiqiang feels the immense influence he and his classmates have had on the development of the university. “We students shaped something here at the school,” he says with pride. His four years here were about constantly challenging himself and discovering new things. Entering as a freshman, Xie started out as a ...
