From photons to electrons: Liyuan Zhang discusses his path into research
At SUSTech, Zhang spoke to more than 200 students and faculty about his research career and the skills undergraduates can bring to an open problem.
Zhang gave the May 9 lecture in the First Research Building as part of a university-wide course. He used his own path through the study of photons and electrons to introduce the work to an audience from across campus.
The university bulletin records a message directed specifically to undergraduates. Zhang encouraged them to develop their own judgment, persevere when work gets difficult and recognize their capacity to tackle complex problems.
