Speaker Bio:

Ta Xutang graduated from the Department of Chemistry at Shandong University in 1983 with a bachelor's degree. In the same year, he entered the Institute of Crystal Materials at Shandong University, studying under Professor Jiang Minhua. He obtained his master's degree in 1986 and remained at the university for work. In October 1991, he went to Japan for further studies and returned to China in August 2002. He is currently a distinguished professor and recipient of the "Famous Scholars Award Program" from the Ministry of Education, as well as a recipient of the National Outstanding Youth Fund at Shandong University. He has served as the director of the Institute of Crystal Materials at Shandong University and the director of the State Key Laboratory of Crystal Materials. He was the academic leader of the Ministry of Education's innovation team in 2005 and the National Natural Science Foundation of China's innovation group in 2007. He also serves as a council member of the Chinese Ceramic Society, the Chinese Crystallographic Society, and the Crystal Growth Specialty Committee of the Chinese Ceramic Society, as well as the deputy director of the Solid Defect Specialty Committee of the Chinese Physical Society and a member of the Sixth Committee of the Ministry of Education's Science and Technology Committee on National Defense Science and Technology.

He is mainly engaged in research on lasers, nonlinear optical crystals, wide-bandgap semiconductors, organic and organic-inorganic composite optoelectronic functional materials and devices. He has been involved in exploring new fields of nonlinear optical crystals from organic-metal complexes and has successfully grown cadmium-based nonlinear optical crystals with dichloroaminothiourea. He has synthesized and grown a series of bis-thiourea crystals with large nonlinear optical effects and short ultraviolet cutoff wavelengths. He achieved direct semiconductor laser doubling in organic crystals (MHBA) for the first time, and has published over 400 academic papers with an H-index of 60. He has received first prizes for scientific and technological progress from the Ministry of Education and Shandong Province, as well as second prizes for natural science from the Ministry of Education in 2015 and 2016.
