Case: The following is a detailed introduction to the [Intelligent Sensing and Detection Laboratory].

1. Laboratory composition

The Intelligent Sensing and Detection Laboratory has established three R&D groups: Magnetic & Current Visualization, Multi-physics Field Perception & Simulation, and Artificial Electromagnetic Environment Modulation.

2. Development direction and goals of the laboratory

Focus on the non-destructive testing segment of the new energy and power semiconductor industry, aiming to continuously enhance core technologies for high-precision, high-efficiency, and high-resolution magnetic field and current density imaging, and promote the industrial application of new magnetic field and current density technologies.

Center on interdisciplinary scientific issues in fields such as electrochemistry, semiconductors, and superconductors, utilizing multiphysics simulation methods to explore new methods, theories, and applications for the sensing and imaging of magnetic fields, currents, electromagnetic waves, acoustic fields, and stress fields.

Address issues related to electromagnetic interference, noise, and electromagnetic shielding by conducting research on the design, testing, and simulation of shielding performance and electromagnetic parameters of gaseous and liquid artificial media.

3. Development history

The Intelligent Sensing and Detection Laboratory is affiliated with the Automation Department of the Sino-German College of Intelligent Manufacturing at Shenzhen Technology University. It was established in 2019 at the inception of the program, as approved by the Ministry of Education. The laboratory has grown with continuous support from Shenzhen Technology University and funding from various research projects, including but not limited to: the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 61901271), Guangdong Provincial General University Research Project - Young Innovative Talent Fund (No. 61901271), Guangdong Regular Universities Special Fund for Major Areas (No. 2022ZDZX3022), Natural Science Foundation of Top Talent of SZTU (Grant No. GDRC 2020104), and Special Project of Self-Made Experimental Instruments and Equipment in SZTU (No. JSZZ202201016).

4. Laboratory scale

The laboratory covers an area of 200 square meters. After more than five years of preparation, it is now equipped with a pT-level magnetic sensor calibration system, a 2-18 GHz electromagnetic experiment platform, and fA-nV weak signal measurement equipment. The total value of manufacturing and testing equipment for sensing applications is approximately 15 million yuan.

5. Team Introduction

The laboratory is directed by Dr. Mingji ZHANG. The research team consists of 3 full-time staff and 6 master's students.

6. Laboratory achievements

Since its establishment, the laboratory has undertaken multiple national-level major scientific research tasks. In the past five years, we have been responsible for 14 research projects, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Guangdong Provincial Key Area Research and Development Program, and sub-projects of the Pre-Research Field Fund of the Equipment Development Department of the Central Military Commission. We have published 16 SCI papers, including 9 papers in journals classified as Chinese Academy of Sciences ranking Q1, with a total of over 200 citations. We have applied for 12 invention patents (11 of which have been granted) and obtained 5 software copyrights.

The laboratory has developed a method and inversion theory for vector current density visualization imaging, along with a prototype for vector current density imaging. This technology enables the visualization of current density intensity and flow direction, providing a new technical approach for circuit design, process optimization, and fault detection, with the potential to open up new disciplines and research directions.

Undergraduate students in the laboratory actively participate in research projects, with more than 30 students winning top-level competition awards such as the "Challenge Cup" and the "Internet Plus" competitions. The students have been guided to win the provincial special prize/gold medal in the "Challenge Cup" Science and Technology Innovation Competition for three consecutive years and advance to the national competition, as well as winning the Gold Medal at the Asia International Innovation and Invention Competition.
