Infrared Optical Materials Company Hengying Technology Named a Doctoral Innovation Station by Zhejiang Association for Science and Technology
Topics and contents
Hengying Technology, an incubated company of the Hangzhou Institute for Optics and Photonics, has been included in the fifth group of Doctoral Innovation Stations of the Zhejiang Association for Science and Technology. The innovation station tackles key challenges in the preparation of large-size, high-performance fluorogallate infrared glass, optimization of infrared material properties and industrialization, and has jointly trained seven master's degree students with the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Recently, the fifth group of Zhejiang Provincial Association for Science and Technology Doctoral Innovation Stations was announced, and Hangzhou Hengying Technology Co., Ltd., an incubatee of the Hangzhou Institute of Optics and Mechanics, made the list.
Doctoral innovation stations draw on the talent of young PhD faculty from universities and research institutes inside and outside the province, with enterprises and institutions and the station's doctoral teams as the main participants and industry-academia-research collaboration as the link. They are sci-tech innovation service platforms that promote mutual growth for both the host organization and the doctoral team, providing micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and young sci-tech talent with a service platform for matching needs, transferring technology and innovating products.
The company has invested heavily in R&D to drive innovation, undertaking key national and provincial research projects and building an integrated innovation ecosystem linking industry, academia, research and application, making it a leading domestic player in the infrared optical materials segment.
Production workshop
Led by Dr. Zhang Chi of the Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, UCAS, postdoctoral researcher Sun Bingheng and Dr. Chang Hao of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the innovation station has overcome multiple core technologies in areas including the preparation of large-size high-performance fluorogallate infrared glass, optimization of key properties of infrared materials, and breakthroughs in industrialization technology.
The innovation station uses a combined training model of PhD holders + technical backbone staff + jointly trained graduate students to cultivate specialists in materials science and optical engineering. It implements a dual mentorship system (academic PhD supervisor + corporate mentor), jointly trains 7 master's students with the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and provides 3 internship positions.

"Build a group of innovation stations led by PhDs, so that PhD holders can spearhead the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into new quality productive forces and help small, medium and micro enterprises embark on a path of innovative development," said the head of the district science and technology association. Most of the leaders of the PhD innovation stations come from universities and research institutes. Bringing PhD services to local enterprises right at their doorstep not only addresses talent bottlenecks in corporate innovation and R&D, but also drives the building of corporate technical teams and improves business performance, while helping universities and research institutes across the country identify research directions that serve industrial development.
