Dongfeng Diao is an academician of the Japanese Academy of Engineering and a professor of Shenzhen University. He is currently the director of the Institute of Nano Surface Science and Engineering, Shenzhen University, and the director of the Electron Microscopy Center of Shenzhen University. He received his Ph.D. degree from Tohoku University, Japan, in 1992, and stayed in Japan after graduation. He received the Distinguished Young Persons Fund from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPPS) in 1996, was elected as a Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPPS) in 2010, and was elected as an Academician of the Japan Academy of Engineering in 2020. He has been engaged in the research of "the whole chain of micro-nano sensing science and technology", which includes design, fabrication, detection, sensing and application of nano-surface. His research focuses on the design and quantum fabrication of low-energy electron-photon induced interatomic bonding sensing modes and ultra-high resolution optical-magnetic-mechanical-electrical-force multi-physical field information sensing research. For the first time in the world, he has discovered the highly sensitive sensing features of "ultra-high density graphene-based edge-aligned structured surface" and "graphene-based edge quantum effect", and has made a significant contribution to the development of the field of "carbon-based quantum manufacturing and sensing". He has made pioneering contributions to the development of the field of "carbon-based quantum manufacturing and sensing". He has received a number of awards from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (2 times), the Osawa Foundation (2 times), the Nippon Seiko Foundation (1 time), and the Taboho International Foundation (2 times), and he has collaborated with a number of major Japanese corporations (Hitachi, Ricoh, Nippon Seiki, and Seiko Electronics, etc.) to conduct research on the science and technology of micro-nano sensing in a way that is geared toward the future. He has published more than 300 academic papers, more than 100 patents for technological inventions, and has chaired more than 50 international conferences and invited lectures, which have had a significant impact on the international scene.
