The Physics Department of Lanzhou University of Technology was established in 200 1. After more than ten years of rapid development, it has a dedicated teaching staff with high academic level, rich teaching experience and rich scientific research experience. There are 36 teachers in this department, including professors 10, 7 associate professors, teachers with intermediate titles 17 and 2 teaching assistants. Among them, 65,438 teachers received doctoral degrees. There are 15 people who have obtained master's degrees, and two others are studying for doctoral degrees on the job. The former physics department once set up the teaching and research section of applied physics, the institute of condensed matter physics, the institute of theoretical physics, the university physics laboratory and the specialized laboratory of applied physics. In 20 13, according to the unified planning of the school for the grass-roots organizations of disciplines, the original physics department was expanded into three grass-roots organizations of disciplines, namely, the applied physics department, the university physics teaching department and the physics laboratory, according to the teaching and scientific research tasks. Among them, the university physics department is mainly responsible for the teaching of engineering university physics, the university physics laboratory is mainly responsible for the teaching practice of engineering physics experiments and innovative experiments, and the department of applied physics is mainly responsible for the professional teaching of applied physics undergraduates, the teaching practice of professional physics experiments, and the enrollment and training of first-class masters in physics and second-class masters in physical electronics. Three basic disciplines related to physics organize and cooperate, and undertake the teaching and scientific research practice of undergraduate and postgraduate related majors in strict accordance with the training plan. In teaching, we should adhere to the characteristics of strengthening the cultivation of practical ability, attach importance to cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability, conform to the requirements of the teaching syllabus and plan, flexibly adjust the enrollment plan and training plan according to the needs of the talent market, strengthen the introduction of scarce talents, build a team of high-quality teachers, and improve graduates' job-seeking ability and opportunities. Under the leadership of old teachers, actively study the course teaching, and publish teaching research papers and teaching materials through seminars, lecture competitions and other forms to promote the improvement of teaching quality. On the other hand, it is necessary to integrate the updated scientific research results into teaching in time through lectures and classroom expansion to expand students' knowledge. In view of students' different development goals, we should give full consideration to stratified courses. On the one hand, it is the main courses of physics, such as optics, mathematical physics methods, thermodynamics and statistical physics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics and so on. , are set up for students who apply for graduate students. On the other hand, considering the needs of undergraduate students, relevant key professional and technical courses are set up, such as signal processing, electrotechnics, digital circuits, analog circuits, integrated circuit design, etc. In scientific research, it has formed a stable discipline direction. His main research interests are: nanostructures and low-dimensional physics, strongly related magnetic materials and new functional materials, calculation and simulation of condensed state systems, nonlinear physics, quantum information processing, guided wave optics and optical fiber communication technology, solid microstructure and photoelectric properties. In recent five years, the Department of Physics has been supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China 15, 3 key projects of the Ministry of Education, 18 of the Natural Science Foundation of Gansu Province, 2 key projects of Tamarix chinensis at school level and 4 national patents. He won the third prize of Gansu Provincial Natural Science Award and the third prize of Gansu Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award, which were 1 respectively, and the university science and technology progress award 15, including two first prizes in Gansu Province and two teaching achievement awards, and published more than 600 papers, including more than 300 in SCI or EI. In terms of academic exchange, in recent years, the Department of Physics has planned to send key teachers to study and visit abroad, and some young teachers have visited and studied in key universities in China for a short time. At the same time, actively invite domestic and foreign experts to the Department of Physics to exchange ideas and guide scientific research and teaching. In order to accelerate the rapid growth of new young teachers, the physics department implements the young tutor system. The old teachers with good teaching effect and remarkable scientific research achievements actively guide the new teachers to carry out teaching and scientific research, so as to ensure that young teachers can improve their teaching skills quickly in scientific research, integrate into the appropriate team and become the backbone of teaching and scientific research as soon as possible. During the year of 20 13, the faculty of physics department actively responded to the call of the school and actively explored new ways to improve the teaching quality through a series of teaching seminars and discussions. In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of teaching staff, the school's various reward systems have been refined. In order to give full play to the strengths of teachers at all levels and tap the potential of teachers, in February 20 13, 13, the Faculty of Science redefined the ownership and responsibilities of the original physics department, and established three new grass-roots discipline organizations: physics department, university physics teaching department and university physics laboratory.
