Research Center Profile
Jointly established by Harbin Institute of Technology and Chongqing Electromechanical Group (the largest state-owned electromechanical equipment group in Southwest China), the Research Center for High-parameter Special-purpose Pumps and Valves also engages an expert team from Belarus. Adopting the “university research plus leading state-owned enterprise” model, the center closely integrates HIT’s top-tier research capacity with the manufacturing and industrial resources of Chongqing Electromechanical Group. Oriented toward major national strategic needs, it tackles bottleneck technologies for high-end pumps and valves to realize the localization and industrialization of core key equipment. The center has 28 members in total, including 4 postdoctoral researchers and 20 master’s and doctoral candidates, covering multiple disciplines such as materials science, solid mechanics, applied mathematics, vibration and noise reduction, automatic control, and hydraulic machinery.
Supported by Chongqing High-level Talent Program, the center jointly introduces the expert team led by Professor Zhuravkov Mikhail, First Vice-Rector of Belarusian State University. A high-caliber technical team is jointly built by HIT, Chongqing Electromechanical Group, as well as Belarusian and Russian experts, comprising foreign academicians, winners of the Chinese Government Friendship Award, national high-level talents, university professors and enterprise specialists. Targeting technical challenges of special-purpose industrial pumps under extreme working conditions with high parameters, the center carries out key-technology research and industrial-scale application. Over the past five years, the team has obtained more than 100 granted patents, published 100 papers, and undertaken over 20 national, provincial-ministerial and enterprise-sponsored projects.
