Prof. Dr. Yu Fang, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

​

Fang received his BSc in Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, Shaanxi Normal University in 1982, his MSc from the Department of Chemistry, Central China Normal University in 1987, and his PhD from the Polymer Center, Lancaster University, UK in 1998, working under the guidance of Professor Ian Soutar. From 1982 to 1993, Fang was an Assistant Lecturer, then Lecturer, and then an Associate Professor of the Shaanxi Normal University. From July, 1993 to March, 1995, Fang was a visiting scholar at the School of Chemistry, Birmingham University, UK, under the supervision of Professor John F. Kennedy. In September, 1998, Fang rejoined the Chemistry Faculty at Shaanxi Normal University. In 2021, Fang was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His current research interests include mainly: (1) Development of film-based fluorescent sensors through innovative design of sensing fluorophores and modulation of their excited-state processes; (2) Development of molecular materials of diversified structures with emphases in physical chemistry at the surfaces, interfaces and adlayers.

Keynote Topic: Adlayer Structure Innovation and Film-BASED Fluorescent Sensors

Professor Zhengying Li received the PhD degree in Communication and Information Systems from Wuhan University of Technology in 2010. Since then, Li has been with the School of Information Engineering and the National Engineering Laboratory for Fiber Optic Sensing Technology, Wuhan University. From 2016 to 2017, he was a visiting scholar in Department of Physics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada. In recent years, he has focused on the fabrication, demodulation, and applications of drawing-tower fiber Bragg grating arrays, facilitating large-capacity distributed temperature sensing, fully-distributed vibration sensing, and distributed dynamic strain sensing, with applications in fire alarming for large-scale infrastructures and intelligent monitoring of subways, expressways, and airport runways. His research interests also involve the development and applications of fiber-optic sensors in daily health monitoring, grating array embedded smart composite materials, as well as photoacoustic non-destructive testing. He has published more than 140 academic papers, including those in internationally renowned journals such as Photonics Research, Journal of Lightwave Technology, etc., and is the inventor of over 80 granted Chinese/PCT patents.
