On January 19, 2026, at the 2025 Duxue Academic Forum hosted by the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Shaanxi Normal University, Prof. Fang Yu delivered a keynote report, and Associate Professors Liu Zhongshan and Miao Rong from the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials gave presentations.

In the report titled “Sensing-Driven Innovation in Molecular Materials: From Fluorescent Sensors to High-Gain Lenses”, Fang Yu, starting from the core logic of molecular material innovation, elaborated on the fundamental principles, key breakthroughs, and application prospects of sensing technology in the development of fluorescent sensors and the fabrication of high-gain lenses.

During the academic sharing session, Liu Zhongshan and Miao Rong fpresented their representative research progress, innovative findings, and future work plans under the titles of “Surface and Interface Chemistry of Multiporous Materials” and “Fluorescence Measurement in Soft Interface Confinement,” respectively.

At the closing ceremony, Fang Yu urged young faculty members to think creatively, explore innovative solutions, and leverage available resources while daring to challenge conventional thinking, also emphasizing the importance of building a solid foundation through diligent effort and continuous deepening of expertise within their respective fields.
