Preface

Welcome to the Voice of USST for September. Summer has slipped away. On the basis of regular pandemic prevention and control of USST, students’ return to school and newcomers’ registration were well organized and proceeded in safety, taking USST to hustle and bustle after half a year of dreariness. Focused on the reform and innovation, USST adhered to the strategy of cooperation and opening-up, and implemented a series of cooperation and joint construction projects including the establishment of an institute of public diplomacy , Taizhou Attraction Workstation of USST and strategic cooperation agreements signed with Shanghai Shenkang Hospital Development Centre (SHDC) and Shanghai municipal civil defense office, respectively.
USST has increased investment in disciplinary construction, scientific research, talent training, and exchange& cooperation, achieving remarkable results in promoting the construction of high-level university. At the 22nd China International Industry Fair, a number of significant scientific and technological achievements of USST in pandemic prevention and control, intelligent manufacturing and other fields were displayed, receiving a string of awards. USST has been cultivating excellent and talented young teachers. Rao Pingping, a young teacher aiding Xinjiang Province, received approval of national scientific research projects. Ni Jing, a young teacher from School of Environment and Architecture, was awarded the Marie Curie Individual Fellowship. USST always focuses on teaching students with practice and scientific research. Zhao Mantong, Ph.D. student of ultra-precision optical manufacturing team led by Professor Zhang Dawei from School of Optical-Electrical and Computer Engineering, developed a microfluidic chip to rapidly detect the content of chloramphenicol in milk. Tian Tian, Ph.D. student of nano-photonics team led by Professor Cai Bin, has made new progress in nonlinear optical materials. USST has successively held high-level scientific and technological innovation competitions to develop innovative talents. The 2020 "Tianjia Cup" Science and Technology Competition for College Students in China's refrigeration and air conditioning industry, for example, was held in USST. The final and award ceremony of the 7th Shanghai University Students New Material Innovation and Creativity Competition and 2020 Shanghai University Business Elite Competition and International Trade Competition are included as well.
AsGu min we introduced previously, academician from School of Optical-electrical and Computer Engineering, who has made a series of breakthroughs in the field of Nano-Photonics and Professor Liu Ping from School of Materials Science and Engineering, who labeled the contact wire of high-speed railway with "Made in China". This month features Professor Yu Hongliu from School of Medical Instrument and Food Engineering. As the director of the rehabilitation engineering center of USST and pioneer of the discipline of rehabilitation engineering, Professor Yu endeavored for the approval of the registration of rehabilitation engineering major of USST, making China the first country in the world to establish a specialized bachelor’s degree to cultivate rehabilitation engineering talents. Recently Professor Yu has successfully developed the first intelligent hydraulic prosthesis knee joint in China, which is a breakthrough in the technology of hydraulic intelligent knee joint with independent intellectual property rights of China, promising that it can fill a domestic void with such products as intelligent hydraulic knee prosthesis.

PART Ⅰ Events
USST Welcomes Freshmen to the School Campus
On a bright sunny day of Sep 10th, USSTers were thrilled to welcome more than 4000 incoming freshmen to the USST and to start their first day at this campus.
Volunteers composed of faculty and students, who were wearing USST T-shirts, assembled and set off at 7 a.m. to meet and welcome undergraduates with their warmest greetings. They answered questions, gave advice, guided the way and offered help to new students. The Hujiang Campus was now filled with young laughers, excited chatters and collective vibe of cheers, embracing a new semester full of expectations. Under regular pandemic prevention and control, to safeguard and aid each student, USST has mobilized human resources and made various emergency plans ahead of the time to help each student peacefully enter into the campus and smoothly complete their registration. In the meanwhile, despite the fact that foreign vehicles were not allowed to be driven in and parked inside, school specially and warmly arranged for some temporary shuttles to carry and transport students’ heavy package to the dorm areas. In addition, some smart technologies added have also made it convenient for students to complete their admission procedure and get to scan USST landscape as quickly as possible.
For the majority of students, this is the first time that they have embarked on their independent days without parents’ company. Unlike previous years, freshmen have to do with their dorm affairs by themselves at the first day. In the coming days, they should learn about many new life skills and can get acquaint with a lot of friends all over the world.
They all begin to build a dream and keep exploring and striving for it in hopes of fulfilling a complete four-year golden time. No matter where you are from, USST will be new home to you and stands together in enriching your academic journey and personal development in the following four years.

USST Students Publishes High-level Papers in Top Journals
Recently, the nano-photonic team led by Professor Cai Bin from the International Future Optical Laboratory achieved new progress in the area of nonlinear optical materials, and published a cover paper entitled “DAST Optical Damage Tolerance Enhancement and Robust Lasing via Supramolecular Strategy” in a famous journal ACS Photonics (SCI Area Ⅰ). Tian Tian, a Ph. D from School of Optical-electrical and Computer Engineering, was the first writer. The
DAST@β-CD crystal prepared by this method not only has good lasing resistance, but also can provide a reference for the preparation of other types of nonlinear organic crystals, thereby promoting the organic nonlinear crystal materials application of optical signal conversion, terahertz signal generation and digital signal processing. Supervised by Academician Zhuang Songlin, Dr. Zhao Mantong from the Ultra-precision Photonic Manufacture Team led by Professor Zhang Dawei and Dr. Zheng Lulu published a paper entitled “Rapid Quantitative Detection of Chloramphenicol in Milk by Microfluidic Immunoassay” in international authoritative journal Food Chemistry (JCR AreaⅠ, Impact factor: 6.306). An immune detection chip, including pipeline layer and valve layer was developed based on microfluidic technology, which can realize the automatic operation of detection process by controlling the valve. Moreover, the chip contains 10 detection units, which can simultaneously detect multiple samples. The development of the immunoassay chip offers a sensitive, rapid and simple detection method for antibiotics in milk.
