New progresses have been achieved in respect of state-level research projects, research funding, and highly-quoted papers.  

It should be noted that the number of young scholars with highly-quoted papers has been growing. “Microcomb-driven silicon photonic systems”, the paper by Qin Jun when doing post-doctoral research at Peking University, was published by Nature. As the first authors, Yue Xinwei, Gong Yi and Cai Yuanxin have 4 papers screened out by Web of Science as the highly-quoted papers.  

The recent years have seen rapid progress in academic research at School of Information and Communication Engineering with new high in quality and quantity of research achievements. The School would continue to integrate research with teaching and bring the role of academic research in education into full play. Team building of faculties would be strengthened and academic atmosphere would be enhanced to further push forward academic research progress of the School.
