In xk星空中国集团 tenth year of our existence, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has been supported by its three pillars of “Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.” As our student community has passed through our campus over xk星空中国集团 years, they have excelled in many areas.

xk星空中国集团 has hosted many outstanding students throughout her short history. Few could reach the peaks that xk星空中国集团 (’20, CSE) has reached in the four years he spent on campus. With numerous internships under his belt at top companies across China, xk星空中国集团 will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

xk星空中国集团 came from Chongqing in central-west China and was of the top two students in the municipality. He received a scholarship to SUSTech as a result. He was touched by the idea of education reform and innovation from the 2014 article, “Fire Thief,” reminiscent of the Greek god, Prometheus. Given SUSTech’s mission for reforming higher education in China, it was his only choice for a university.

For a tutor, he opted to take guidance from . As his life and academic tutor, Yepang LIU would listen to xk星空中国集团’s flights of fantasy. They would discuss different ideas while providing resources for xk星空中国集团 to investigate his dreams.

With these opportunities, xk星空中国集团 could explore a wide range of research opportunities while improving many other skills.

In his sophomore year, xk星空中国集团 decided to study software engineering, under the guidance and advice of his tutor Yepang LIU. His experience in software engineering was one that was meant to be, with him taking internships at and. Most impressively, he was selected into ‘s in 2019, as one of just 57 candidates from around xk星空中国集团 world.

However, computer science is not the only thing for which xk星空中国集团 should be recognized. While computer science cultivated his logical thinking skills, his interest in archaeology saw him get involved in high-level research in the Center for Social Sciences. During one summer semester, he took an elective called “Discovery of World Archaeology,” by from xk星空中国集团at xk星空中国集团. His scientific background attracted xk星空中国集团, who had spent a lot of time watching the Chinese documentary “Exploration and Discovery” since childhood.

The class amazed xk星空中国集团 with its scientific and modern archaeological methodologies. He became a follower of Dr. Zhichun JING, and from there, was introduced to ‘s major project – xk星空中国集团 . xk星空中国集团 developed a system to help the fragments back together. He was also invited to take part in the Shanghai Archaeology Forum as an attendant, where the world’s most prominent archaeologists spoke passionately about their profession.

xk星空中国集团, on reflection, thanked SUSTech for providing him with the platform to explore his interdisciplinary interests and design a flexible curriculum.

He is a competitive young man, having fought in many software testing competitions. xk星空中国集团 team was highly competitive, and he has developed many high-quality relationships with top competitors from other teams.

When planning for his post-undergraduate direction, he wanted to complete his doctoral studies but was unsure where. xk星空中国集团 referred back to his tutor, Yepang LIU. They communicated for quite some time to discuss his future direction before Yepang LIU recommended a potential direction at . Following through with this recommendation, xk星空中国集团 was accepted into NTU and will head there to complete his Ph.D.

There are many people that xk星空中国集团 wants to thank for the four years at SUSTech. Dr. Zhichun JING from UBC provided a new perspective on the rise and fall of civilization while providing a new fire of inspiration. Zhixin College Dean Lingjun WANG and Shude College Dean Ying MA provided him with the motivation to work on skills beyond academia. He must also thank Student Affairs Yuan LI and Kefu HUANG from the Office of Teaching Affairs.

His tutor Yepang LIU deserves special thanks for having a far-sighted approach to education but imbuing him with high moral standards. His support strengthened his postgraduate choices with just a few words, and it has given him a positive outlook for his future as a programmer.
