On November 7, 2016, at the invitation of the State Key Laboratory of Explosive Science and Technology, an internationally renowned high-pressure physics expert and Prof. Toshimori Sekine of Hiroshima University visited our university and gave an introductory title “Introduction of shock compression science and our recent Research topics” wonderful academic report. Prof. Chen Pengwan, Dean of School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Beijing Institute of Technology, Prof. Wang Cheng, Prof. Zhu Yanli, Associate Professor Liu Jianjun, Dr. Guo Baoqiao, and Dr. Dai Kaida, Directors of the State Key Laboratory of Explosive Science and Technology, listened to the report. The report will be chaired by Prof. Chen Pengwan

Prof. Toshimori Sekine is an outstanding expert in the field of high-pressure dynamic compression science in the world. He developed a universal method for the generation of strong shock waves and obtained a series of groundbreaking researches in the fields of high-pressure materials science, mineral physics, and earth and planetary sciences. Achievements and results were published in top international academic journals such as Nature. In the report, Prof. Toshimori Sekine first introduced the basic principles of shock compression for forming extreme high pressure and high temperature conditions, systematically expounded the application of shock wave compression science in the fields of geophysics, planetary science, chemistry, materials, and high energy density science, and pointed out that Impact compression science frontier development direction.
