Dalian University of Technology Celebrating 75th Anniversary
This special issue belongs to the section “Physical Sensors“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dalian University of Technology (DUT) was founded in April 1949, and 2024 marks its 75th anniversary. It is one of the “211 Project” and “985 Project” universities, with full support for its construction and development provided by the central and local governments of China. DUT has established a comprehensive disciplinary framework, focusing on first-class and high-quality engineering, natural sciences, humanities, and medical sciences research. Additionally, the university has made significant advancements in various fields, including intelligent sensors, aerospace sensors, and optical fiber sensor technology. These innovative sensors have been applied to important projects in civil engineering, aerospace, mechanical manufacturing, and other major fields.
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of DUT, Sensors is proud to announce a Special Issue titled "Dalian University of Technology Celebrating 75th Anniversary". We welcome scholars in the field of sensors to contribute to this Special Issue. Potential topics for submission include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New sensor structure design;
- Novel nanomaterial sensors;
- Environmental monitoring sensors;
- Sensor integration in manufacturing;
- Principles and mechanisms of optical sensing;
- Sensor performance optimization and characterization analysis;
- Wireless sensor networks;
- Sensor data analytics and AI;
- Sensor applications in major engineering projects.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
