Tsinghua University Suzhou Automotive Research Institute was established in 2011. It is the first specialized research institute of Tsinghua University for a specific industry. It is also a comprehensive automotive industry research institute jointly built by Tsinghua University and Suzhou Municipal Government. It is committed to the research and development of automotive application technology, transformation of scientific and technological achievements and incubation of high-tech enterprises.
Relying on the technical and talent advantages of Tsinghua University, guided by the major needs of the country and the industry, and with the mission of “leading technological innovation and promoting industrial progress”, we focus on new industries such as intelligent connected vehicles and new energy vehicles, and have established six business platforms: technology research and development, analysis and testing, science and technology finance, talent training, technology transfer, and enterprise incubation. We lead the innovative development of the industry with the research and development of new technologies and new products and industrial transformation, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading with technology, finance and talent services.
We have gradually built a comprehensive industrial innovation platform integrating scientific and technological innovation, industrial services and entrepreneurial incubation functions, forming an innovative industrial ecology where high-end talents gather, science and technology finance is active, and high-tech enterprises gather.
Platform Integration Lead
Changlin Pang, PhD., Platform Integration Lead of InchFab Inc., received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Precision instruments from Tsinghua University, China in 2002, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Caltech with his Ph.D. project of polymer neural electrodes for a neural prosthesis system in 2007. Dr. Pang invented the world’s smallest implantable programmable ocular drug delivery pump for AMD treatment, started Replenish, Inc. which was invested by Alcon in 2008. He later joined Alcon for commercializing this micropump in 2015. Dr. Pang was the Co-founder and CTO of Golden Eye Bionics from 2017 to 2024 to develop and commercialize a new generation of retinal prosthesis products. Dr. Pang has more than 50 approved and pending patent applications.
The founders of InchFab developed the core fabrication technology that now drives InchFab – a ultra-low-cost scalable “micro-sized” fab platform. Today InchFab uses this platform to provide highly flexible and cost-effective foundry services to its customers and partners. In 2025 InchFab announced that the complete microfab equipment set and facility is being offered. This turnkey wafer fab is a low capex alternative to anything available. It’s ideal for startups, universities and low to medium volume corporations.
