In the hot summer, scientific research has not been interrupted. The laboratories of Tongji University are still busy.

Facing the country's major strategic needs and aiming at the forefront of world science and technology, Tongji teachers and students did not slack off during the summer vacation. They insisted on combining free exploration with organized scientific research, worked hard to climb the academic peaks, answer the questions of the times, and strive to make important breakthroughs in key core technologies.

National Key Laboratory of Autonomous Intelligent Unmanned Systems:

Promote the application of unmanned systems in more fields

During the hot summer vacation, the National Key Laboratory of Autonomous Intelligent Unmanned Systems on Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island is still a familiar scene. Each research team sticks to their research positions and devotes themselves to the research of autonomous intelligent unmanned systems. They focus on cutting-edge fields such as underground space detection of unmanned systems and universal systems for humanoid robots. Through in-depth discussions and continuous research, they explore new applications and challenges of unmanned systems in underground spaces and new problems in the research and development of universal brains for humanoid robots. Some team members also traveled to Beijing, Zhejiang and other places in the scorching heat to conduct outdoor on-site debugging of unmanned systems to ensure the stability and reliability of the system in practical applications.

National Key Laboratory of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation in Civil Engineering:

Focus on key scientific issues in multi-hazard prevention and control of major structures

During the summer vacation, the 2024 first half academic exchange meeting of the National Key Laboratory of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation in Civil Engineering Direction 2 (Multi-disaster Prevention and Control of Major Structures) was held at the school. Led by Li Jie, chief scientist of the laboratory and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, several chief researchers of the laboratory gave a series of special reports on "Key Scientific Issues in Multi-disaster Prevention and Control of Major Structures". The reports of the experts focused on cutting-edge scientific issues and core technical problems, with in-depth analysis of theories, discussions on new methods and technologies, and analysis and discussion of important engineering experiments and major engineering cases. The purpose of this academic exchange meeting is to guide young talents to propose more and higher-quality solutions in the field of civil engineering disaster prevention and mitigation research.

Professor Wang Qigang's team from the School of Chemical Science and Engineering:

Explore interdisciplinary exchanges and cooperation

Professor Wang Qigang's team from the School of Chemical Science and Engineering has effectively promoted the expansion and deepening of scientific research through a combination of interdisciplinary and special lectures. By organizing special lectures in multiple fields, the team not only introduced cutting-edge scientific research results and technologies, but also encouraged the integration of knowledge between different disciplines and stimulated new research inspiration. The special lectures also promoted exchanges between team members and external experts, broadened research horizons, and provided rich interdisciplinary support and cooperation opportunities for innovative research on gel materials. During the holidays, team members seized the opportunity to exchange experiences with students from other research groups, brainstorm together, learn skills in experimental operations, and explore other ways to break through research bottlenecks.

Researcher Yongyong Li’s team from the School of Medicine:

In-depth basic research on tumor environment regulation

The research group led by Li Yongyong, a researcher at the School of Medicine, focused on the scientific issues that nano-carrier-delivered CRISPR-Cas9 (a versatile and powerful genome-targeted editing strategy) is difficult to penetrate dense tumor tissues and is easily degraded. They brainstormed in small groups and proposed using the self-propulsion of microbial bacteria to actively transport CRISPR-Cas9 plasmids deep into the tumor, and enter the cell through endocytosis to perform gene editing functions. Animal experiments are an important part of testing the effects of these bioactive drugs, and each operation requires superb professional skills and a rigorous experimental attitude. With the joint efforts of the team, each step of the experiment was carried out quickly and accurately.

Professor Ma Jiwei's team from the School of Materials Science and Engineering:

Deeply cultivate the research and development of new energy materials

Professor Ma Jiwei of the Institute of New Energy for Vehicles of the School of Materials Science and Engineering leverages the team's strengths in the energy field and leads the team to deepen research in the direction of electrochemical energy materials. He encourages every member to concentrate on deepening and solidifying research topics, and to combine my country's energy revolution and "dual carbon" goals to make more contributions to promoting green and high-quality development. While persisting in the front line of scientific research, members of the scientific research team also conduct in-depth academic exchanges with scientific researchers around the world. As vice chairman of the organizing committee, Professor Ma Jiwei co-organized the 2024 First China-Morocco New Energy Conference, went to Morocco to attend the conference and delivered a keynote speech. Many doctoral students participated in academic exchange activities such as the 22nd International Lithium Battery Conference, the 5th Powder Diffraction Crystal Structure Analysis and Rietveld Refinement Advanced Seminar.

School of Economics and Management:

Promote the deep integration of scientific research innovation and industry

The School of Economics and Management actively responded to the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee during the summer vacation, and promoted the deep integration of scientific research innovation and industry by holding academic conferences and industry-university-research cooperation seminars. The school successfully held the "18th International Conference on Operations and Supply Chain Management", focusing on the application of artificial intelligence and digital technology in supply chain innovation, and promoting academic and practical exchanges. The industry-university-research cooperation seminar between the school and Xuji Electric Co., Ltd. focused on cutting-edge fields such as big data and AI big models, and jointly sought scientific and technological innovation and joint talent training. This reflects the school's efforts and practical actions to promote the transformation of scientific research results and industrial upgrading.
