To further boost academic exchanges among young faculty, foster a positive academic atmosphere and support young teachers’ professional growth, the School of Information hosted an academic salon for young faculty in the control discipline in the conference room of Building No. 4 for Academic Studies on the afternoon of March 31. As one of the 2026 Young Faculty Development Camp series events, the salon was attended by Zhang Fan, Vice Dean of the School of Information, and young faculty members engaged in control-related research. Xin Wei, Young Staff Committee Member of the School Trade Union, presided over the activity.
At the opening of the salon, three outstanding young teachers took the floor successively to share their research achievements and academic insights.
Teacher Yang Pengfei delivered a report titledSilicon-Based Resonant Electric Field Sensors and Their Applications. He elaborated on the operating principles and technical characteristics of silicon-based resonant electric field sensors, as well as their innovative applications in power system monitoring and high-voltage equipment detection, demonstrating the unique strengths and broad prospects of this technology for electric field measurement.
Focusing on industrial process control, Teacher Wang Mengzhi presented a speech namedResearch on Intelligent Modeling and Optimal Control Methods for Large-Scale Chemical Plants. He detailed intelligent modeling approaches and optimal control strategies tailored to large chemical installations, and shared research outcomes in modeling complex industrial processes and designing intelligent control algorithms, offering new ideas for the intelligent upgrading of chemical production.
Teacher Ye Fei’s presentation,Integrated Modeling, Simulation and Optimization Technology for Forward Design of Complex Products, systematically introduced an integrated modeling and simulation framework for the forward design of complex products, and thoroughly discussed the applications of multidisciplinary collaborative simulation and optimization technologies in product design, highlighting the vital value of digital design technologies in improving R&D efficiency. The three informative, accessible reports sparked lively discussions and in-depth exchanges among participating faculty.
Following the presentation session, Vice Dean Zhang Fan held an in-depth forum with young teachers covering personal career development and research team building. He pointed out that the academic salon serves as a vital platform for the college to facilitate academic communication and strengthen team construction. Academic sharing and intellectual collisions can effectively broaden research horizons and promote interdisciplinary collaboration. He encouraged young faculty to clarify their research orientations, actively participate in the development of college research teams, and fully leverage the research platforms and resources provided by the school to forge ahead on academic paths. All participating young teachers expressed that the salon had greatly expanded their academic horizons, deepened mutual understanding and communication, and brought them abundant gains.
Moving forward, the School of Information will continue to host academic salons for young faculty across various disciplines, building an interdisciplinary exchange platform to stimulate intellectual collisions and knowledge sharing among young teachers. The college will keep focusing on the growth demands of young faculty, provide more opportunities for academic exchange and career support, help young teachers attain greater academic achievements, and contribute to the advancement of the school’s scientific research undertakings.
