Huawei established the Electroacoustic Innovation Laboratory at Nanjing University

Li Hao, director of Huawei's Global Certification and Testing Center, pointed out that digital transformation is a huge growth point for Huawei's future business. Electroacoustics is a basic means of interaction in the interconnection of all things and the intelligent world, and has core applications in the fields of smart terminals, autonomous driving, robots, smart homes, smart cities, etc. Therefore, Huawei and Nanjing University have huge room for cooperation in the future. It is hoped that the two sides will use the laboratory as a platform to carry out efficient cooperation and promote the long-term progress in the field of electroacoustics.

Guo Kun, director of Huawei Nanjing Research Institute, believes that he hopes that the Electroacoustic Innovation Laboratory can become a highland in the field of international electroacoustic research and play a leading role in global connections. At the same time, it will promote the transformation of research results and lead Huawei's innovation direction in the field of consumer electroacoustics.

南京大学物理学院教授、电声创新实验室主任沈勇强调，实验室将结合华为的研究需求与南大的研究能力特长，发挥双方优势，加速电声创新，同时致力于成为电声领域高端人才培养基地。

据悉，沈勇教授团队长期从事电声学研究，承担国家科技项目和企业委托研发项目，取得了较为突出的成果，预计IEC即将发布由沈勇教授团队主导的微型扬声器国际标准。近年来，该研究团队与华为已多次展开合作。电声创新实验室将聚焦基础声学理论研究，致力于实现全链路声学系统设计能力的突破。

Huawei and Nanjing University have also cooperated on many issues before. In November 2018, Nanjing University and Huawei signed a strategic cooperation agreement and jointly established the "Zijin Scholars" talent fund to support Nanjing University's introduction and retention of high-level talents in related majors in the field of information and communication technology.

On July 25 this year, the Huawei-Nanjing University LAMDA Artificial Intelligence Joint Laboratory was established.

In recent months, Huawei has signed contracts with universities, and the cooperation covers many fields such as smart cars, 5G, big data, ICT, etc. Judging from the newly established laboratory between Huawei and Nanjing University, Huawei may accelerate innovation in the field of electroacoustics.
