Chinese Students & Scholars Association: Deputy President (Postgraduate)

Chinese students make up a significant portion of the PhD and postgraduate student body at Imperial College London. I hope to become the Deputy President (Postgraduate) in order to establish an academic communication platform. I aim for the department to serve as a bridge for Imperial College undergraduate and postgraduate Chinese students, facilitating academic Q&A sessions. Additionally, I aim for IC Chinese students to engage in academic communication with other universities in the UK or worldwide.

I am a PhD student at Imperial College London. I was one of 15 youth ambassadors chosen to represent The Global Alliance of Universities on Climate (GAUC) at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 27) in Egypt. I am a member of Cohort 3 in Transition to Zero Pollution (TZP) and Cohort 8 in Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet Doctoral Training Partnership (SSCP DTP) at Imperial. In 2022, I was funded by Imperial to do volunteer work for one month with ARCHELON, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece. Additionally, I advanced to the China Finals of APEC Voices of the Future Selection 2020 and participated in the Innovation and Leadership Winter Program at the University of California, Berkeley in 2017.

I have been a member of the Chinese Students & Scholars Association for about one year. During this time, I have met a group of very good friends, and I hope to continue serving here.
