On September 19, 2023, the Photonic Nose and Molecular Materials Group held a Doctoral Proposal Defense Session and Graduate Student Forum in the lecture hall of the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials, which was attended by all the faculty members and graduate students of the group.

In the Doctoral Proposal Defense Session for the Class 2025 doctoral students of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, which was moderated by Prof. Bian Hongtao, Cui Kaixiang presented his doctoral proposal titled Preparation and discriminative behavior studies of SiO2-based fluorescent nanoparticles with multiple-wavelength cross-reactive responses, Zhai Binbin made a presentation titled Design, preparation and applications of adlayers for nanofilm-Based sensors, Liu Xiangquan made a presentation titled Multiple stimuli-responsive behaviors of acylhydrazone bond based nanofilms and its applications, Wang Jie gave a presentation titled Preparation of porous fluorescent monoliths and their application for separation and sensing, and Lin Simin gave a presentation titled Functionality-oriented multiparous molecular materials: from molecular design to molecular engineering. Prof. Liu Jing, Prof. Ma Jiani, and Prof. Peng Haonan, as members of the evaluation team, asked questions and gave advices to the students.

In the graduate student forum moderated by Prof. Liu Jing, Ding Nannan gave a presentation titled o-Carborane-perylene monoamide-based multiple luminescence: photophysical behaviors and applications, Ma Yannan gave a presentation titled Research on the construction of novel MOFs and the separation of light hydrocarbons, and Zhang Jing gave a presentation titled Design, synthesis, photophysics and sensing applications of Au(Ⅲ) luminophores.

In the end, Prof. Fang Yu summarized the event, affirming the work of the students, and put forward expectations and requirements for the group teachers and students.
