Several Achievements of USST Honored with Awards for 2023 Shanghai Science and Technology

On October 23，the conference on 2023 Shanghai Science and Technology Award was held to award those science and technology workers who contribute to Shanghai science and technological development and modernization construction.
Led by USST, the project won 2 awards for the first prize, 3 awards for the second prize. And the project involving USSTers won 4 awards for the second prize.

Surface Optical Standard Metrology" focuses on the fields of high-precision optical measurement and optical standard metrology. With the support of key research & development programs of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the key technologies for ultra-high precision large-aperture absolute surface optical standard metrology have been independently developed, breaking through the classical limits of standard metrology, the bottleneck of heavy load mechanical phase shift measurement, and the huge limitations of self weight deformation on absolute measurement results. It has innovated optical uniformity absolute measurement technology and anti-interference detection module technology. The nano-precision non-contact optical measuring instrument has solved the problem of ultra- precision optical standard measurement, and has been successfully applied in national metrology institutions, research institutes, large scientific devices, high-end industrial testing and other fields, promoting scientific and technological progress in the national standard measurement industry.

The project "Precise Design and Key Technologies for Identification Materials and Detection of Chemical Hazards in Food" aims to address the problem of precise and rapid detection technology for chemical hazards in food. With the precise design of detection and identification materials as a breakthrough point, it creates a methodological route-system from molecular simulation to precise design of identification materials, develops core technologies such as material target interaction modeling and micro-environment design/regulation, and achieves efficient preparation of more than 100 broad-spectrum chromatographic materials and specific rapid detection materials, greatly improving the target range and specificity of material identification; a series of solid-phase extraction columns, chromatography columns, and rapid detection products and instruments have been developed to achieve domestic substitution. They have been successfully applied in daily supervision and spot checks of chemical hazards such as agricultural/animal residues and heavy metals in food, major event guarantees, and enterprise self-inspections, and have been widely adopted by domestic and foreign testing method standards.

In the coming years, oriented as a applied research university, the school will  strives to make itself a leading institution in industrial and technological progress, providing better services and contributions for the high-quality development of USST.
