About IMD
The Interdisciplinary Materials and Devices (IMD) Group of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), is devoted to the growth and physical study of semiconductor nanomaterials, as well as the development of nano-optoelectronic devices and integration. This includes nano-light sources, photodetectors, and artificial micro/nano photonic structures.
The IMD group has undertaken numerous prestigious projects, including the National Key R&D Program, the Innovative Talent Base in Higher Education, the "973" Program, key projects from the JW Science and Technology Commission, projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the National Foreign Expert Recruitment Program, and the Sichuan International Cooperation Base Program, with a total funding exceeding 70 million RMB. The team's research achievements have been featured multiple times on the covers of leading journals such as Advanced Materials and Advanced Energy Materials, as well as highlighted on the homepage of Science Advances. In 2019, the IMD center was the only entity from mainland China shortlisted for the IET Innovation Awards.
The IMD Group is oriented towards the global frontier of science and technology, addressing major national needs. It conducts a series of innovative research in fields such as semiconductor photonic (optoelectronic) devices, plasmonic photonics, integrated photonics, and material computation and simulation. The team's achievements have been published in internationally renowned academic journals such as Nature and Science.
The IMD Group adheres to the philosophy of interdisciplinary integration and international development, and is committed to cultivating high-quality talents with a global perspective and comprehensive research capabilities. Our group boasts a teaching and research team composed of outstanding experts from both China and abroad, including 11 dedicated full-time professors, researchers, and associate researchers, supported by an extensive network of hundreds of domestic and international academicians, national experts, and industry leaders. By embracing an internationally aligned approach to talent development, the IMD team consistently attracts top scholars from around the world. Currently, IMD team includes over 70 postdoctoral researchers, PhD candidates, and master's students from diverse countries and regions.
