Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (Tsinghua SIGS) participated in the China Marine Economy Expo (CMEE) in Shenzhen from October 31 to November 2, 2024, showcasing its latest research achievements in marine engineering and equipment, marine resources and environment, marine energy, and marine information.
In the spotlight was the in-situ plankton observation and analysis system developed by Professor Cai Zhonghua’s team from the Institute for Ocean Engineering. This advanced device, featuring internationally leading technical capabilities, provides high-definition imaging of plankton and is widely applicable for monitoring various water bodies, including oceans, lakes, and reservoirs. Professor Zheng Xiangyuan’s team displayed models of an offshore floating wind-solar-aquaculture system and a shallow-water floating solar-powered trash collection device, attracting significant interest from attendees. Representatives from the Indian Ocean Rim Association expressed interest in promoting this floating wind-solar-aquaculture system to Indian Ocean countries. Other showcased innovations included an in-situ classification detector for marine particles and a multi-energy hybrid floating platform integrating wind, wave, and solar power.

Additionally, Professor Wang Yong’s team presented a novel 6000-meter-depth, multi-sequence microbial in-situ enrichment and fixation device, designed for high-flux seawater filtration. Assistant Professor Qu Juntian’s team presented advancements in underwater soft robotics, robotic flexible manipulations, and underwater intelligent sensing technologies. Assistant Professor Shen Xinwei showcased research on micro-siting and optimal planning for electrical collector system of offshore wind farms, while Assistant Professor Yin Fanghui exhibited his team’s latest progress in the efficient and anti-offset magnetic coupler of wireless power transmission system for marine environments.
At CMEE, Tsinghua SIGS was recognized for its outstanding achievements in marine science and technology and awarded the Best Exhibitor from CMEE.
