Liu Lingjie, Class of 2019, has kept a low profile while excelling within the Department of Biology. She was in high demand at the end of her bachelor’s degree, with requests from top universities around mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and the United States all offering her the opportunity to complete her Ph.D. How has Liu Lingjie achieved this and what was her life like at SUSTech?

Last week, the Department of Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) successfully held the first SUSTech International Summer School on Earth and Planetary Sciences (I): Earth and Planetary Interiors (Summer School). More than 200 scientists and young students from around the world participated in the Summer School.

The sun, the ultimate energy source of solar system, provides our mother planet with 120 000 TW annually through electromagnetic radiation. Utilization of solar energy by photocatalysis is considered as one of the most promising strategies to meet the increasing energy and environmental demand of human society. In the 1970s, Fujishima and Honda split water into hydrogen and oxygen on sensitized TiO2 photoanode under irradiation. Since then, the solar-to-fuel conversion through semiconductor photocatalysis has been intensively studied.

With graduation nearly upon him, Department of Chemistry graduate Zhang Zisheng from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has already received his dream offer from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to continue his studies. In the final stages of his degree, Zhang Zisheng told us about how he planned to further his studies abroad and shared his experiences.

Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) students won several awards at the recent Chinese Mathematics Competitions (CMC), which was held at Harbin Institute of Technology.
