On July 31st and August 1st, 2024, the Institut für Photonik at Leibniz University Hannover had the pleasure of welcoming a distinguished delegation from the College of Engineering, Peking University, China. Invited by Professor Xiaoying Zhuang, the group included 4 professors and 20 students, marking a significant opportunity for academic exchange and collaboration.
The visit featured a seminar on August 1st, where members of our IOP research group engaged in fruitful discussions with the visiting delegation. Dr. Qiong Liu opened the seminar with an introduction to the Institut für Photonik and our ongoing research projects within the IOP CSST group. This was followed by insightful presentations from Professor Zheng Chen, Vice Dean of the College of Engineering, and Professor Jianxiang Wang, who provided an overview of their college and the broader academic landscape at Peking University.
Two of the visiting students also shared their research findings in a session that highlighted cutting-edge topics. Mr. Yifeng Xie presented on the “Tribological response of ∑3{111} coherent twin boundary at a small scale in FCC metal,”contributing valuable insights into materials science. Yuyang Lai then discussed “Learning to optimize stroke patterns for Purcell’s three-link swimmer,” showcasing innovative research in optimization techniques and bio-inspired engineering.
The seminar was a resounding success, fostering a lively exchange of ideas and strengthening the academic ties between our institute and Peking University. We are excited about the possibilities for future collaboration and look forward to continuing this productive partnership.
