From December 5 to 7, the Academic Annual Conference of China Institute of Communications was held in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. As an important annual event in the domestic communication field, the conference gathered experts and scholars from the national communication industry, universities and research institutes to conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions on the cutting-edge development trends and innovative achievements of communication technology.

At the announcement session of the evaluation results of China Institute of Communications this year, the master's thesis Research on Fiber Nonlinear Channel Modeling and Modulation Format Optimization Based on Perturbation Theory (supervised by Associate Professor Chen Bin) by Liang Zhiwei, a 2024 master graduate of the School of Computer Science and Information Engineering of our university, was successfully selected into the 2025 Master's Thesis Incentive Program of China Institute of Communications, and he was invited to attend the award ceremony of the conference. The evaluation this year was highly competitive, with only 7 master's theses selected nationwide, and Liang Zhiwei's master's thesis stood out from the participating theses of many universities.

The Master's Thesis Incentive Program of China Institute of Communications was established to promote the scientific and technological progress in the field of information and communication in China, encourage innovative research and promote the growth of young talents. The selection scope covers the dissertations of those who have been awarded doctoral and master's degrees within 3 years. The dissertations are required to focus on the academic frontiers of the information and communication field, have important theoretical or practical significance, make innovations in theories or methods, achieve breakthrough results, reach the advanced level of similar disciplines in the world, and have good social benefits and application prospects.

Liang Zhiwei obtained his master's degree from Hefei University of Technology in 2024 and was awarded Outstanding Graduate of Anhui Province. His research directions include optical communication channel modeling, digital signal processing and nonlinear suppression. Up to now, he has published 6 papers as the first author/student first author, including 1 paper each in the top journals in the communication field IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technology and Acta Electronica Sinica, and 3 papers in the top conference in the optical communication field European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC). He has won many honors such as the National Scholarship for Postgraduates. He is currently a PhD student at the School of Computer Science and Information Engineering of Hefei University of Technology.
