Center of Ancient Ceramics and Industrial Ceramics was established in 2010. 

The purpose of Center of Industrial Ceramics Engineering is to inherit Chinese civilization and explore new applications of energy-saving materials. In terms of ancient ceramics research, it undertakes the national research and protection work on ancient ceramics and silicate eggs and builds a national team in the field of ancient ceramics research and a national team in the field of new types of ceramics. In terms of research on photothermal regulation smart materials, to build a green and sustainable society, research and break through the key technologies of dynamic smart regulation materials and devices (thermal/electro/photo-chromism, etc.), and expand the integrated military and civilian applications. The center currently has a research and development team composed of three professors, four visiting professors who are well-known overseas scholars, eleven employees, and nearly 30 master and Ph.D students.
