Professor Zhang Qingshan, dean of School of Materials Science and Engineering, Professor Zhang Jiatao, associate dean of School of Materials Science and Engineering, Professor Yao Yugui, Dean of School of Physics, Professor Cao Chuanbao from School of Materials Science and Engineering, Professor Zou Bingsuo from School of Physics, Researcher Wang Yeliang from Chinese Academic of Science, Professor Qi Chen, Professor Li Hongbo from School of Materials Science and Engineering , more than ten young teachers from School of Materials Science and Engineering, School of Aerospace Engineering, School of Frontier Intersection, School of Physics and more than 100 students attended this academic report. On behalf of School of Materials Science and Engineering, Professor Zhang Qingshan expressed a warm welcome to Professor Duan Xiangfeng, the report was hosted by Professor Zhang Jiatao.

　　Professor Duan Xiangfeng made an academic report entitled “Van der Waals Integration beyond 2D Materials-Pushing the Limit of 2D Electronics”. He raised a theory using different 2D materials to construct novel high efficiency microsatellite devices through intermolecular interaction of van der Waals, showed research findings published in Periodicals such as Nature and Science in the recent two years. The report explained profound theories in simple language, Professor Duan also made a lively discussion and communication with the teachers and student present. He also made an instruction on English teaching of material chemistry major, international training of graduate students which had a great promoting effect in promoting new materials frontier international exchanges, and training of internationalized talents.
