As a novel electromagnetic imaging technique that combined the feature of microwave imaging and ultrasound imaging, microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography (MITAT) has seen a rapid growth in numerous biomedical applications during the past decades. For the application in transcranial brain hemorrhage detection, the major challenge of MITAT is the big acoustic inhomogeneity induced by the ...

Waveguide array is one of the fundamental building blocks for integrated photonics, a branch of study that examines the ability of integrated devices on a single chip to achieve faster and more efficient transmission and processing of information. A dense waveguide array could enable a high-density integration of waveguide components and significantly reduce on-chip occupancy area and cost. This c...

ShanghaiTech Automation and Robotics Center (STAR Center) of SIST has long focused on research and innovation in the fields of robotics and automation. Recently, some outstanding results were achieved and published in papers at top conferences and journals, including IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), and IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L). Ad...

The upcoming 6G wireless network poses numerous challenges, including continuous space coverage, hybrid near-/far-field beamforming, multi-user positioning/sensing, and holographic multiple-in-multiple-out (MIMO), and requires economical antenna solutions. Low-cost, high-gain beam-steerable antennas are therefore in high demand to overcome these difficulties. Compared to conventional microstrip ph...

In the 2022 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (IEEE APCCAS) held in Shenzhen from November 11 to 13, a paper co-authored by ShanghaiTech graduate students won the Best Paper Award. The paper is entitled “Hierarchical and Recursive Floorplanning Algorithm for NoC-Based Scalable Multi-Die FPGAs”, whose co-authors are second-year master student Luo Jianwen, fifth-year Ph.D. ...

Recently, the Optical Society of America (Optica) announced the list of 2023 elected Fellows. A total of 109 scholars from 24 countries and regions around the world were selected. Professor Yu Jingyi of ShanghaiTech was elected for his contributions to computational imaging systems. Prof. Yu has long been engaged in the fields of computer vision, computational imaging, computer grap...

Synthetic Lethality (SL) is a type of genetic interaction in which the simultaneous inactivation of two genes leads to cell death, while the inactivation of one gene alone does not affect the viability of the cell. In a pair of SL genes, if one gene has a cancer-specific mutation, the other gene can be a potential drug target because perturbation of the latter gene can selectively kill cancer cell...

SIST Assistant Professor Fu Minfan’ s research group in the Center for Intelligent Energy (CiPES), has made significant progress in capacitive power transfer (CPT). Two achievements have been published in IEEE transactions. As a non-contact power transmission technology, wireless power transfer is safer and more convenient, and has been widely used in electric vehicles, consumer electronics,...

Since different gases have different characteristic peaks, spectrum detection technology can be used to detect various gases. The current full-spectrum (from ultraviolet to infrared) detection technology usually utilizes multiple discrete detectors with different wavelength bands, thus the system is relatively complex, with an unsatisfactory performance, high dark currents, and rare response spect...

Syntactic parsing, including dependency parsing and constituency parsing, studies automatic discovery of internal structures of sentences (e.g., subject-predicate-object structures, various types of phrase structures, coordinating and subordinating relations between words). Syntactic parsing is a fundamental task in natural language processing (NLP) that can be used to provide useful information f...

Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) has the advantages of light weight and high strength, and is widely employed in various industrial products, such as aerospace, advanced ships, new cars, wind turbine blades, pressure vessels and high-speed centrifuges. Defects and damages occurred in CFRP structures in the process of manufacturing and using will affect the reliability of materials, endanger ...

Recently, Assistant Professor Liu Yu’s research group, the Center for Intelligent Power and Energy Systems (CiPES) in SIST, proposed a new dynamic-state-estimation (DSE) based protection (DSEBP) method for transmission lines in MMC-HVDC grids. The work has been published in an article in the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, the leading peer-reviewed journal in the field of power system protec...

In addition to the exciting competition, the new technology involved in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has also attracted widespread attention. The Visual & Data Intelligence Center (VDIC) of SIST and its incubated startup DGene, developed the “Free-Viewpoint Video Effects Live Application System” to serve the video broadcast of the Winter Olympic Games, providing viewers with a live, free...

Recently, Associate Professor Wang Cheng’s group at SIST developed a broadband hyperchaos laser source in the mid-infrared regime. The related work has been published in Light: Science & Applications in an article entitled “Mid-infrared hyperchaos of interband cascade lasers”.Chaos is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, and is a disordered behavior similar to a random process generated ...
