Academy of Advanced Interdisciplinary Research

The Academy of Advanced Interdisciplinary Research (AAIR) of Xidian University was founded in 2018. Since 2019, AAIR has launched a number of cutting-edge interdisciplinary research centers, including: Quantum Information, XF-IJRC, Advanced Remote Sensing, Extreme Sensing, Space Solar Power Station System, Flexible Electronics, Smart Sensor, AI and Security, Advanced Optics and Perception, Piezotronics, AI-based Big Medical Imaging Data, Intelligence-Aided Teaching, Advanced Medical Theranostics, Language in Cybersecurity, Thin Films and Coatings for Device Applications etc.

AAIR has initially brought together a high-level research team centered on academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, internationally renowned scholars, nationally recognized leading innovators, and promising young scholars. Following the principle of “organized scientific research,” AAIR adopts a team-based assessment mechanism and implements a management model with Chief Scientists and Principal Investigators (PIs) jointly responsible.

Oriented toward the frontiers of world science and technology, the major needs of the nation, people’s health and wellbeing, and the country’s economic priorities, AAIR upholds the guiding vision of “unceasing exploration of new fields.” Guided by a problem-oriented approach, it employs a “Core + Periphery” organizational structure, actively explores development paths, and innovates systems and mechanisms to build an innovative pilot zone for organized scientific research within Xidian University. Leveraging its strengths in electronic information disciplines, AAIR is committed to addressing substantive interdisciplinary challenges, advancing frontier and cross-disciplinary directions, fostering integration across disciplines, cultivating a multi-disciplinary culture, and driving interdisciplinary research in greater depth. By combining the “red gene” with the “open factor”, AAIR seeks to establish a distinctive “special talent zone” for frontier interdisciplinary research, further enhancing Xidian’s core competitiveness and international influence. In doing so, AAIR contributes to building Xidian into a world-class university and to making unique, leading contributions—characteristic of Xidian—to meeting national needs, serving industries, and promoting regional economic and social development.
