Symposium Series

Hangzhou Innovation Institute of Beihang University

Symposium Chairs: Dr. Jixi Lu, Associate professor in Hangzhou Innovation Institute of Beihang University, and Dr. Mao Ye, Professor in Hangzhou Innovation Institute of Beihang University

The International Conference on Atomic Magnetometer and Applications, hosted by the Beihang University Hangzhou Innovation Institute, was successfully convened on November 16, 2025, in Hangzhou, China. The conference provided an international platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest developments in ultra-sensitive magnetic field sensing technologies.

The scientific program encompassed invited lectures and oral presentations addressing a broad spectrum of topics, including the fundamental mechanisms of atomic magnetometry, advances in device engineering, optimization of SERF-based systems, and emerging application frontiers. Key discussions highlighted progress in miniaturized precision magnetometry, high-sensitivity detection and imaging of magnetic particles with relevance to biomedical and materials research, and the engineering realization of next-generation SERF magnetometer prototypes.

Sessions also covered developments in triaxial closed-loop control and system modeling, theoretical insights into non-Hermitian dynamics with implications for quantum sensing, and fully optical modulation schemes capable of mitigating coil-induced interference while preserving ultra-high sensitivity.

The conference underscored the rapid advancement of atomic magnetometry and its expanding role across scientific and industrial domains. Participants emphasized the importance of continued interdisciplinary collaboration to drive technological innovation and to accelerate the transition of atomic magnetometer research toward practical deployment and broader societal impact.

Applied mathematics and statistics serve as the backbone of modern scientific inquiry and technological innovation. These disciplines provide the essential frameworks for analyzing uncertainty, modeling dynamic systems, and deriving insights from data that guide evidence-based decision-making. In today’s data-driven world, industries such as healthcare, finance, engineering, and cybersecurity rely heavily on applied mathematical and statistical methods to optimize performance and predict outcomes. The increasing complexity of global challenges demands professionals who can translate theoretical concepts into actionable solutions through quantitative reasoning. This symposium on Applied Mathematics and Statistics is designed to bridge the gap between abstract theory and practical application, enabling participants to harness mathematical modeling and statistical analysis to address real-world problems effectively. Through engaging discussions and hands-on exercises, attendees will strengthen their analytical foundation and gain confidence in applying these tools to diverse professional and research contexts.

Symposium Chair: Dr. Ziyi Yang, Special associate research fellow and associate professor in Beijing Institute of Technology

The symposium Intelligent Wireless Communication in Air-Space-Ground Integrated Systems* was successfully held on January 30, 2026, at Beijing Institute of Technology. The event brought together cutting-edge research focused on communication, sensing, and electromagnetic awareness within air–space–ground integrated networks (SAGIN), highlighting both theoretical advances and practical system-level applications.

The symposium explored key challenges and solutions in next-generation wireless communication under complex and dynamic environments. Topics included differentiated backhaul architectures for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks, covert communication techniques supported by unmanned aerial platforms in multi-interceptor scenarios, and innovative designs for covert signal dispersion and intelligent reception in satellite–ground uplink settings. Several presentations emphasized multi-satellite cooperation, demonstrating how integrated sensing and covert communication can be jointly optimized to enhance system performance and resilience.
