On December 3, 2025, three doctoral candidates, Lin Siming, Zhai Binbin, and Liu Xiangquan, from the Class 2025 cohort of the Physical Chemistry program at the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials of Shaanxi Normal University successfully defended their dissertations.

Their dissertation titles are: “Construction, Photophysical Properties, and Functional Applications of Porous Fluorescent Molecular Materials” “Controlled Construction of Flexible Functional Nanomembranes and Their Sensing Applications,” and “Interface-Confined Synthesis, Stimulus Responsiveness, and Applications of Organic Porous Films.”

The defense was chaired by Prof. Liu Feng from Xi’an Jiaotong University, while the defense committee members included Prof. Kong Jie from Northwestern Polytechnical University, Prof. Luan Xinjun from Northwest University, Prof. He Gang from Xi’an Jiaotong University, and Prof. Wu Weiwei from of Xidian University.

Following the presentations of their doctoral dissertations, the three doctoral candidates underwent questioning, evaluation, and commentary from the defense committee, who also provided suggestions for refining and revising their dissertations. After deliberation, the defense committee unanimously agreed that the research content of the three candidates’ dissertations was thorough and logically sound, and that their responses to questions were clear, and they approved the defenses and recommended conferring them the Doctor of Science degree.
