勇于尝试，坚定选择

2018年春夏，广以第一届学生刚刚度过第一个学年，当时的罗逸伦和其他许多高考学子一样，处在填报志愿的迷茫时刻：是将高考成绩“分数最大化”，前往冷门985？还是避开内卷激烈的高考，出国读书？

在高考志愿填报这一人生中的关键时刻，逸伦的父亲选择倾听孩子内心的声音，帮助孩子选择热爱和值得的院校专业，引导孩子探索与成长。他也将自己帮助逸伦确定目标院校、适应大学生活的心路历程撰写成文：《Voice of Parents | 引导孩子探索与成长，打通学研的“任督二脉”》。

在父亲的推荐下，逸伦第一次了解到中外合办类院校，也逐步了解了广东以色列理工学院这所年轻的高校：广以是以色列理工学院的中国校区，也是我国目前唯一一所理工科中外合作大学。诺奖学者亲临授课、犹太式教育、“不惧权威，勇于挑战”的虎刺怕精神……创新的办学理念令逸伦想要更深入地了解这所学校。但另一方面，当时的广以仅有第一届学生在读，地理位置也非一线城市……在父亲的鼓励下，他们启程前往学校实地探访。来到坐落于静谧的桑浦山脚下的广以校园，逸伦发现这正是自己想象中大学的样子：开放、包容、创新、科学。父亲也鼓励逸伦，在广以努力提升自己，未来到海外进行深造，掌握先进知识和技术来服务国家未来发展。

进入广以学习后，在高中有良好英语和理工科基础的逸伦没有在学业方面遭遇过多压力。他和众多广以学子一样，在这片创新土壤上扎根成长：学术要求高，学生们需要广泛涉猎跨学科知识，熟练掌握各种科研工具；自由选择空间大，学生们在低年级就可以加入感兴趣的课题组，在导师的鼓励下尝试开拓性的科研题目；培养质量精益求精，每一位学生都是实打实地操作仪器设备、一笔一画记录下实验数据，从本科开始积累科研实战经验。“广以是一个自由度、开放度和包容度都很高的校园。”四年的学习生活让逸伦由衷感慨，“我的各方面能力都快速成长了！”

这位理工科的学生还拥有一颗文艺细腻的心。他用最喜欢的一部电影《死亡诗社》中的台词作为自己的人生信条：Carpe diem，意为活在当下，及时行乐。大学四年期间，他前往中以产学研合作紧密的广州国际生物岛实习、和志同道合的电影社朋友们一起欣赏佳片、发起欢乐温馨的万圣节“游园会”、前往初中课堂为孩子们讲课、和外籍教授们一起顶着炎炎烈日参加龙舟比赛训练……从丰富多彩的社团到特色满满的中以文化交流活动，在这所小而美的校园里，犹太与本土的文化碰撞出耀眼的火花，每一位师生都是最有力的亲历者与传播者。

从广以出发，赴时代之约

逸伦所就读的材料系是一门跨学科的专业，涉及面非常广泛，这也注定了材料系学生几乎是广以课时压力最大的一批。在学业与申研双重施压的迷茫时刻，这个乐观豁达的少年也曾对自己的选择有过动摇。在与老师、师兄师姐沟通之后，逸伦逐渐走出了迷茫。他知道自己在短短四年内无法同时兼顾“广度”和“深度”，本科阶段的学习和科研经验远远不足以在实践中立足，便决定以实际为导向，锁定半导体这一细分方向作为自己硕士申请的方向。

在逸伦看来，产业数字化转型与新基建等新兴领域正在蓬勃发展，以半导体为代表的高端制造业是未来科技创新的“主战场”，相关专业人才将在未来经济社会发展中发挥重要作用。这也是他选择纳米科技作为自己研究生主攻方向的原因。

经过筛选学校和专业，逸伦最终决定前往比利时鲁汶大学深造。和广以一样，鲁汶大学也是一所以科研为基础进行教学的大学，自2016年以来被评为“欧洲最具创新性的大学”，同时拥有世界顶尖的微电子研究中心，以全球先进的芯片研发技术和工艺而著称于世。逸伦介绍，他的硕士课程将集中于芯片设计、半导体设备制作等课题，能真正把本科所学的跨学科知识落到实地研究中去。

令逸伦惊喜的是，这所拥有近600年历史的古老大学也向他伸出橄榄枝，将为这位优秀的科研青年提供奖学金。启程前往比利时前，逸伦再次表达对母校四年培养的衷心感谢：“感谢广以提供的平台，让我能看到更大的世界。也正是广以的平台，让我能够拿到奖学金后，我将继续努力学习，不能懈怠！”

无独有偶，逸伦的好友、同样就读于广以材料系的高嘉杰选择了纳米电子学和半导体相关的方向就读研究生。像他们一样，许多广以毕业生都选择与国家重点领域相关的专业继续深造，希望以青年智慧助力“中国制造”迈向“中国智造”。

Time flies and the second cohort of students graduate from Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) this year. In the series of interviews with the graduates from the Class of 2022, we will show their stories at GTIIT in the past four years.

Here is the story of Luo Yilun, a student of the Class of 2022 from the Materials Science and Engineering Program.

Stick to the Choice

When Spring turned into Summer of 2018, GTIIT's first cohort just finished their first-year study, while Luo, got lost at his eighteen after Gaokao exam. Whether to make the safe choice to study at a traditional domestic university, or take the risk to study overseas for an opener atmosphere, became a question for the boy and his family.

Luo with His Father

Introduced by his father, GTIIT faded into Luo's sight as the only Sino-foreign joint university focusing on science and technology, as well as the China Campus of the Technion. Innovative education system in GTIIT, famous for its high-quality faculty team and the Jewish education style Chutzpah, attracted Luo and soon they decided to visit the campus in person. The university turned out to be beyond his imagination, with openness, inclusiveness, innovation and science. Luo's father also encouraged him to get improved in GTIIT, and further study abroad to master cutting-edge knowledge and skills.

Head of GTIIT Mathematics Program

With a solid foundation for science and English, Luo became accustomed to GTIIT's learning pace not long after being admitted. Same as his schoolmates, Luo got well-trained here. Strict academic standards urge students to catch up with knowledge-rich interdisciplinary curriculum; open academic environment encourages students to join the research group based on their interest from the first two years in university; abundant resources allows each student to enhance laboratory experiences by operating the equipment under the guide of the professors. "I gained so much in such an open and innovative campus!" said Luo.

Though under great pressure, Luo seldom gets depressed as he holds the life motto "Carpe diem", a quote from his favorite movie Dead Poets Society, with the meaning of "Seize the Day". In the bachelor's years, he took an internship in Guangzhou International Bio-Island, spent nights with friends at the innovation center at GTIIT to watch movies, organized the exciting Halloween party, taught the middle school students and joined the Dragon Boat team for local racing. Luo, together with the faculty and the peers,  was amused by the abundant activities held in GTIIT, and also took the role as the culture communicator between China and Israel.

From GTIIT 

to A Bigger World

Luo studied Materials and Science Engineering Program, a cross-disciplinary subject, pushing the students to take almost the largest amount of classes comparing with other programs opened in 2018. His faith was once shaken due to the heavy study load and the uncertainty brought by the pandemic. After consultations with professors and senior students, he realized that he couldn't grab both breadth and depth in just four years, and thus needed to focus on a particular subject to further study.

Luo with Friend

When asked why choosing Nanotechnology as his research concentration, Luo explained that a person with knowledge and expertise became increasingly important due to the high demand for human resources required by the prospering Chinese New Infrastructure Development, which refers to infrastructure that is 'digital, smart, and innovative', with the semi-conductor industry as one clear example.

Luo decided to start his master's study in KU Leuven in Belgium. Same as GTIIT, KU Leuven values research-based education and was ranked by Reuters as the most innovative university of Europe since 2016. Luo introduced that his master's course and research would focus on digital chip design and semiconductor devices, with a strong interaction with the world-leading nanotechnology research institute IMEC. He looked forward to applying the knowledge to new products.

Luo with Parents and Friends

To Luo's surprise, the 600-year-old university provided a scholarship for the young man. "Thanks GTIIT for I stepped up from here to a bigger world. I will keep going on!" Luo expressed his sincere appreciation for his Alma Mater before setting out for Belgium.

Gao Jiajie, Luo's best friend and GTIIT graduate, chose a similar program. These young GTIIT alumni are chasing a further study related to China's key industries, hoping to fulfill themselves during the industry transformation of the country.
