“Strengthen and encourage basic research. Don’t be too eager to see it transformed into products, but let the bullets fly.” Talking about basic research in Shenzhen, Wang Fei, associate professor at the Shenzhen-Hong Kong School of Microelectronics at Southern University of Science and Technology, recently He told reporters this during an interview.
"Young Old Comrade" of Southern University of Science and Technology
Before coming to Shenzhen, Wang Fei served as an assistant professor at the Technical University of Denmark. He has published more than 20 papers at conferences and holds one international patent and two Chinese patents. In 2007, he also won the Best Paper Award at the 9th China Micro/Nano Technology Society Domestic Annual Conference.
In 2013, Wang Fei, who was successful in his studies, went directly to Shenzhen to join the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering of Southern University of Science and Technology. In this young campus, Wang Fei laughed and called himself a "young old comrade." Talking about his choice after returning to China, Wang Fei said that he was deeply attracted by the livable environment in Shenzhen, the unlimited development space and free academic atmosphere of Southern University of Science and Technology, and the unique geographical advantages in the microelectronics field of the Pearl River Delta region.
"I have long been engaged in research in the field of micro-nano electronic materials and MEMS sensors. Shenzhen's chip design industry accounts for about 30% of the sales of national design companies, and has ranked first in the country's cities for six consecutive years. Here I feel like I have more potential to use."
Determined to cultivate cutting-edge microelectronics talents
Wang Fei witnessed the establishment of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Institute of Microelectronics. As the class teacher of the first-level undergraduate students in the college, Wang Fei deeply feels the huge responsibility on his shoulders: "There are only 36 people in the first-level class, but all of them are good prospects selected from the best students of the same grade. They are the School of Microelectronics." "Huangpu Phase I". "He is determined to cultivate more microelectronics professionals.
He is a "research madman". As the head of the MEMS research group of SUSTech, he led the team to conduct in-depth scientific research and published nearly 40 high-level SCI papers at SUSTech in the past three years, including one that was ranked second among Chinese researchers' papers by Applied Energy magazine. paper. Many students who graduated from his research group won the titles of "Top Ten Graduates" and "Excellent Graduates" of Southern University of Science and Technology, and he himself also won the Shenzhen "Youth Science and Technology Award" and "Shenzhen Advanced Education Work Award" in 2018. ” and other honors.
Calling on college teachers to carry out popular science education
Wang Fei believes that basic research is an important breakthrough for Shenzhen to accelerate the construction of an international science and technology industry innovation center in recent years. He said with a smile that he and Shenzhen are "peers" and the focus of his future work will still be on cultivating talents and technological innovation.
In addition to cultivating scientific research talents in higher education, Wang Fei also pays special attention to the cultivation of scientific quality among young people. In addition to busy scientific research and education work, Wang Fei and professors from SUSTech actively organize public welfare science popularization inside and outside SUSTech, go deep into primary and secondary schools to carry out popular science lectures and practical activities, and carry out the lecture "Magical Electric Phenomenon" in kindergartens and middle school lectures Dozens of sessions of "The Big Power of Small Devices—Introduction to Micro-Nano Electromechanical Systems".
Upon learning that the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Science and Technology Popularization Regulations" were passed last month and will be implemented from January 1, 2020, Wang Fei enthusiastically praised: "Each of the 100 college teachers contributed a If you give science popularization lectures every hour, the children will have 100 science popularization classes.” He called on more companies and schools to participate in science popularization activities and assume the social responsibility of improving the public’s scientific literacy and spreading the scientific spirit.
