The three disciplines in SPMS, physics, chemistry and mathematics consistently ranked among the very top worldwide. Most of the processes SPMS used for research and graduate studies have since been adopted university-wide by NTU, e.g., the vigorous peer review process for research proposals and the PhD thesis examination process that significantly shortens the examination time while maintaining scientific vigour.

Prof. Shen was the founding Programme Chair (Sustainable Earth), Interdisciplinary Graduate School at NTU. After 6 years in the School Management of SPMS, Prof. Shen was asked to help set up the Interdisciplinary Graduate School (IGS) for the University. 

Prof. Shen is also a member of the NTU Research Council and he chairs the Committee for EP5-P, i.e. for proposals in Physic, advisor to the NTU Board of Trustees, member of NTU senate; member of the School Review Committee for Promotion and Tenure (SRCPT) for the School of Materials Science and Engineering, chair of SRCPT for school of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and member of SRCPT for School of Biological Sciences, and School of Materials Science and Engineering, President of Singapore-China Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology; Expert Advisor on Science and Technology, Chinese State Council Overseas Office (国 务 院侨 办专家咨询委员会专家); Senior Fellow of Institute of Advanced Studies, NTU; member of Tan Kah Kee Foundation; member of Tan Kah Kee International Society; Founding  and current President of Jilin University Alumni Association (Singapore), Council Member of Institute of Physics Singapore; Council Member of Materials Research Society Singapore; Council Member of International Physics Olympiad; President of Singapore Physics Olympiad. 

He has been invited by the Nobel Prize Committee to nominate candidates for Nobel Prize in Physics; he was also invited to nominate candidate for Japan Prize. Prof. Shen has initiated many projects at the National and University level. He instigated the setup of The Photonics Institute at NTU with Prof. Sir David Payne as the Director, as well as the Centre for Disruptive Photonic Technologies.

Assistant Researcher, Han Zhang, Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

With the overall transformation and upgrading of the international manufacturing industry, especially considering the increasing maturity of additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology and equipment, the theory and methods of metamaterial design have flourished. Acoustic wave/elastic wave metamaterials use microstructure as the basic unit to regulate the excitation, transmission and coupling of waves, artificially obtaining macroscopic characteristics that break through the limitations of natural laws, and realizing arbitrary regulation of wave propagation. The emergence of such "new materials" in basic disciplines and applied research has atrracted great attention. Metamaterial design and fabrication is an advanced multidisciplinary issue. This report mainly introduces the frontier development of metamaterial design and advanced manufacturing in intelligent manufacturing, and the usage of multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the key problems. Through reverse operation, intelligent algorithms overcome the problems of limited prior knowledge, the multiphysics conditions that restrict each other, and overly complex preparation requirements in traditional methods, pushing forward the technological innovation and subversive innovation of metamaterial design and preparation for different applications, especially the promotion of rapid application of acoustic stealth, seismic protection, super-resolution imaging and detection, and intelligent structures in transportation equipment, structural health monitoring, wearable devices, bionics and medical treatment.
