在科研之海自在遨游

新化工业是多种学科的交叉，有机合成、制药、电子储能、反应器、二氧化碳的捕捉等都与化工息息相关。如今，简邦兴对自己所学的专业如数家珍。他介绍道，在广以读化工主要分为两个大方向：一是比较传统的化工，在基础原理、实践运用、流程设计等方面进行专业训练；二是环境相关的课程，涉及水、陆、空三块系统，研究非常贴近实际的问题，如雾霾的成因、水体中生物的需氧量等。“广以化工学科的课程设置既重视基础，又足够丰富，让我可以稳扎稳打地在本科就找到自己的兴趣点。”追寻着自己的兴趣，以专业选修课为契机，简邦兴在大三时加入了高希副教授的实验组，设计与研究漏斗装置中球形与非球形二元颗粒的流动性。“化学工业中分散颗粒的不稳定流动、堵塞和自发分离时有发生，我们认为这是一个非常值得研究探讨的课题，实验数据也能为计算模型验证提供支持。”

实验完成后，高教授认为邦兴的选题很有潜力，鼓励他进行投稿。邦兴利用暑假时间大量阅读文献，“每天早上一起床就开始改”，在两个月后把初稿交给了高教授。这篇论文反复打磨了6次，耗时6个月，最终成功在《Advance Powder Technology》期刊（IF=4.96）发表。这次科研经历也成为他申请研究生的一大助力。“我没想到自己在本科就能发表论文，还是第一作者。”邦兴表示，这离不开导师的悉心教导与帮助，丰富的实验资源更是重要加持。“在广以，我有很多实操机会，可以单独负责整个项目，将课堂上的知识运用在解决科研问题上。”邦兴在导师和师兄的指导下获得了购买实验装备、选购颗粒、处理实验数据等第一手经验，投稿的经历也让他对科研细节更有把握。02

“鼓励与支持让我飞得更远”

刚入学时，邦兴看到周围优秀的同龄人，对自己不是很自信。但来自世界各地的老师们风格各异的讲课方式、对教学的热情感染着他。“广以的老师们严格而不失风度，在细心教导的同时，伴随着高标准、严要求。他们在课堂中经常鼓励我们多提问题，大胆表述自己的观点，并毫不吝啬地把知识传授给学生。”在这种浓厚的学习氛围中，不知不觉，四年前腼腆的少年在广以实现了蜕变，卯足了奔赴梦想的冲劲。“自己变得更有激情去学习了，不想浑浑噩噩过日子，想要真正学会、学懂。”

他也很感谢父母的鼓励，正是这份支持促使他在学术研究道路越走越远。“我父亲也是大学教授，他说过，学习就像打猎，本科时有师傅告诉你要用什么工具，在哪儿打猎；硕士时你要学会自己拿工具找猎物；到了博士你可能连工具都没有，要自己寻找或制造。这让我对学习充满兴趣，未来希望往一个领域不断深挖前行。”

一路同行的舍友、朋友也在邦兴努力途中带来许多“暖心时刻”，考试不顺的安慰、想要放弃时的鼓励让他于低谷重振旗鼓，再次出发。
谈到对学弟学妹的建议，邦兴想说，遇到困难不要放弃，积极和能帮助你的老师、同学们交流。在学习方面要自律，大学和高中不同，更注重自主学习，这意味着要合理安排时间，提高效率，做到劳逸结合。学习之余，邦兴也积极参加体育运动，这是他从忙碌学习中抽离的放松方式，篮球场、排球赛上都有他挥洒汗水的身影。























从广以出发，邦兴将继续以兴趣为锚点，开启自己的科研之旅，勇攀科研高峰。

This summer, the Class of 2023 will graduate from Guangdong Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT). They have big dreams and thirst for knowledge; they keep their eyes on the stars, but feet on the ground. The young "Aspirants" grow from GTIIT to a wider world. Let's follow the interview series of the graduates from the Class of 2023 to know their stories.

Jian Bangxing embarked on a journey to pursue his academic dreams four years ago, eventually finding himself at Guangdong Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT). The institution’s innovative education mode and diverse faculty, coupled with Technion’s well-established international reputation, intrigued him.

Four years later, his hard work paid off, as he published an article as the first author and received an offer to the Technion’s master’s program. He expressed, “GTIIT was the stage to realize my dream!”

Roam in ocean of science

The new chemical engineering industry is interdisciplinary – involving organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, electric energy storage, reactor, carbon dioxide capture, and more. Jian describes what he learned at GTIIT to be divided into two main aspects: the traditional direction with a focus on fundamental principles, applications, and process design; and the environmental-based courses that delve into three complex systems of water, land and air, studying real-life concerns like the cause of smog and biochemical oxygen demand in water. “Chemical Engineering Program (CE)’s curriculum is a perfect blend of core principles and enriched content, allowing me to immerse myself in study and steadily seek my interests,” Jian explains.

With the drive to pursue his interests, Jian took the opportunity of a specialized elective course to join associate professor Gao Xi’s research group in his junior year. He carried的 out the research project measuring non-spherical particle dynamics in a discharge hopper and was mainly responsible for setting up the experiment system, conducting experiments and processing data. The results of this study provide helpful guidance for industrial applications and provide experiment data for computational model validation.

After completing the experiment, associate professor Gao recognized the potential of Jian’s research and encouraged him to submit it for publication. Jian spent his summer vacation reading up on the literature, putting in efforts refining the manuscript and after six months of review and revision, the article was eventually accepted for publication in Advanced Powder Technology (IF=4.96). This is also a boost to his further study application.

“I never thought I’d publish an article as the first author during my undergraduate studies,” Jian said. Crediting his success to his mentor’s guidance and the university’s sufficient resources and experimental instruments, Jian felt lucky to have had plenty of opportunities to put knowledge into practice. With the guidance of his mentor and seniors, he learned how to source the equipment, select particles and process data – all of which amounted to valuable experience. Going through the publication process also gave him a firmer grasp of the finer details of research.

"Encouragement fuels me"

Jian wasn’t confident when he first entered university, surrounded by many outstanding peers. However, the unique teaching styles of GTIIT instructors, who come from different parts of the world, and their passion for education kindled his passion for learning. “Our teachers are strict but kind, offering meticulous guidance alongside high standards and requirements. In class, they encouraged us to ask bravely, and generously share their knowledge with us,” Jian said. Immersed in this supportive atmosphere, Jian gained the impetus to chase his dreams. “I’ve become more passionate about learning and aspire to comprehend everything thoroughly.”

Jian and Dr. Paraskevas

Jian is grateful to his parents for their unwavering support, which has propelled him further in his journey of academic research. “My father is a university professor. He once told me that learning is like hunting,” Jian shared. “During your undergraduate studies, someone will teach you how to use tools and where to hunt. During your master’s, you will learn to find prey yourself. And when you reach your doctorate, you may not even have the tool – it is up to you to find or make it.” The words encouraged Jian, and he is eager to continue exploring in a specific field.

Jian and his parents

His roommates and friends have brought him constant comfort and encouragement during his struggles, cheering him up and spurring him to start over again.

Perseverance, active communication and time management are Jian’s advice to juniors. In his own experience, Jian has found sports to be a good way to unwind the stresses of intense studying. Whether on the basketball or volleyball court, you can see Jian running up and down.

With the invaluable experiences he gained at GTIIT, Jian will sail on a new journey exploring new frontiers at Technion.
