Concise Summary:
Former US defense researcher Zhan Hanyu has joined Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) in China after working in the US for over 15 years. The university is listed on the US Entity List due to its ties to China’s military, raising concerns about potential security implications. Zhan’s research focuses on optical technologies and multi-source perception, areas that could be relevant to defense applications. He has a background in both academia and industry, having held positions at New Mexico State University and Corning. His involvement in numerous “major projects” related to intelligent manufacturing and potentially sensitive technology indicates potential overlap with Chinese military programs.
Key Points:
- • Zhan Hanyu, a former US defence researcher, has joined Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), a university on the US Entity List due to its military ties.
- • Zhan’s research focuses on areas like vision-based navigation, advanced optical sensing, and multi-source perception, which are relevant to his previous work in the US defense sector.
- • Zhan has over 15 years of experience working in both academic and industrial settings, including positions at New Mexico State University and Corning Inc.
- • He participated in many “major projects” in the United States related to intelligent manufacturing, as well as unspecified programs that may involve sensitive technologies for defence or aerospace.
