Ⅰ.Overview
1.Programme description
The Advanced Innovation Center for Soft Matter Science and Engineering focuses on soft matter systems as its research subject. By applying multidisciplinary integration spanning chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, biology, and environment, it addresses critical scientific and technological challenges in energy, environment, and life science fields. The Center adopts an integrated science-engineering approach for talent cultivation. It maintains a research team of 19 full-time and 13 part-time researchers, including seven members of the US National Academy of Engineering and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It occupies dedicated research and office space, and the completed Advanced Innovation Complex will provide an additional 20,000 square meters of internationally standardized research and office space. The Center is equipped with five advanced research platforms to meet R&D needs: Intelligent Synthetic Biology Platform, Aerosol and Haze Research Platform, Energy Materials and Devices Platform, High-Performance Computing Platform, and Nano-biomedical Materials Platform.
The Materials Science and Engineering discipline was granted the authority to award Ph.D degree in 1986, and award Ph.D degree in the primary discipline in 2000, with the Materials Science discipline designated as a national key discipline. In May 2022, the Materials Science discipline ranked among the Top 1‰ globally in ESI subject rankings, achieving the 80th position worldwide.
