The "Cloud Lecture" was successfully held

From March 22nd to 30th, the college successively invited Prof. Wenle Li, a national high-level talent from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Prof. Yu Han from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Prof. Lianzhou Wang, Australian Laureate Fellow from the University of Queensland and Prof. Huabin Zhang from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology to share their recent research progress with teachers and students of our school.

The current epidemic has caused serious inconvenience in daily work, and severely restricted academic communication. To activate the scientific research atmosphere and create a good academic atmosphere in the state of epidemic prevention and control, our college actively contacted well-known scholars at home and abroad, and launched a series of cloud charging academic presentations.The four speakers presented wonderful academic reports. Prof. Wenle Li introduced his research experience in developing low-cost self-healing polymer coating materials in the United States, focusing on polymer composite materials with 'editable' autonomous functions;with the title of High-resolution electron microscopy imaging of highly sensitive crystalline materials, Prof. Yu Han shared the experience of his team in overcoming the technical bottleneck of difficult electronic imaging of sensitive materials through software development, hardware optimization and other measures;Prof. Lianzhou Wang gave a report titled Semiconductor nanomaterials for solar energy conversion, and introduced the latest progress of his research group in the field of energy conversion and storage;Prof. HuabinZhang concentrated on single-atom catalysts, focusing on their application in the field of photoelectric catalysis.

The four scholars' clear scientific research ideas, precise grasp of key scientific issues, and progressive narrative logic left a deep impression on the teachers and students and aroused great resonance. In the discussion session, the invited speakers gave detailed answers to the questions raised by teachers and students. This Cloud Lecture academic communications deepened the teachers and students' knowledge, and won unanimous praise.
