On October 9th, Professor Jiang Jianzhong, Dean of the School of New Materials and New Energy at Fuyao University of Science and Technology, delivered a lecture on enrollment policies and cutting-edge research directions. Professor Jiang not only introduced “Eight-Year Integrated Bachelor’s-Master’s-Doctoral Program” and “Three Entries and Three Exits”, but also conducted an in-depth analysis of the research breakthroughs in new-type highly elastic metallic materials. The lecture was hosted by Professor Wu Jianbo, Dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering. The teachers and students present actively participated in the discussions.

In interpreting enrollment and training policies, Professor Jiang became the focus of attention for students and teachers. Targeting students with research potential, the policies has established an integrated training system of “Bachelor-Master-Doctor” and set up a model of “Three Entries and Three Exits”. It shortens the original approximately 10-year training cycle to 8 years. This is not a simple reduction of time; but through the reconstruction of the curriculum system and the advancement of research capability training, it enables students to focus on their professional directions earlier and reduces academic transition costs.

In sharing scientific research achievements, Professor Jiang explained professional knowledge in plain language with the theme of “New-type Highly Elastic Metallic Materials”. Focusing on the unique elastic deformation mechanisms and anomalous mechanical behaviors of amorphous alloy materials, the study has revealed the performance mysteries through systematic research, providing crucial theoretical support for the development of high-end materials. He pointed out that due to the lack of long-range periodicity in atomic arrangement, amorphous alloys have formed a system of elastic characteristics completely different from those of traditional crystalline materials, such as super-elasticity and anomalous regulation of elastic limits. To explore the microscopic essence of these phenomena, the research team, by combining advanced characterization technologies with theoretical model calculations, has revealed the key constraining factors limiting the elastic response of amorphous alloys. The next step will be to promote the transformation of scientific research achievements into practical applications based on industrialization needs.
