On 2014 December 27th, invited by Prof. Tian He, Prof. Tu Yongqiang (Academician of CAS) from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Lanzhou University visited our school to guide the work of young teachers.
Prof. Tu first visited the Key Laboratory for Advanced Materials. Prof. Tian made a detailed introduction of the construction, development of the Key Lab and the proposal of application for State Key Laboratory and Shanghai Peak Discipline.
After the visit, the young teachers of our school, including Zhu Weihong, Zhong Xinhua, Xie Yongshu, Qu Dahui, Wu Junchen, Ma Xiang, respectively made summary reports to Prof. Tu together with one-on-one guidances from him. Prof. Tu gave some valuable suggestions on their work, from how to discover scientific key issues to research route design, from the detail of experiments to the writing of papers, from the frontier of the present academic research to the development trend of the future, from the domestic research focus to the international interaction highlights. The participant stated that they benefited a lot from the guidance from Prof. Tu, who pointed out the direction for their future sustainable development.
