She received her B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and decided to go further in her graduate program. When working as a research assistant, she is trying to detect the factors which will help to form idea PolyHIPE fiber surface, exploring the potential of this novel fiber applicate in control and release system. At the same time, she served as a teaching assistant for senior lab, assisting in the overall organization, doing the grading and providing guidance to individuals.

  有问必答

Q : Could you give some advice on applying for a postgraduate program in Chemical Engineering?

A : If you are a fresh man or sophomore, you will have brunch of time for GRE/TOEFL test and I suggest you to seek for several related internships. Showing admission officers your clear career plan is a great way to help you stand out and convince them you are the one they are looking for. If you are a junior who just start to prepare for application and have no internship, the language text is the most important part. Also you can focus on your past in-campus experiments and find the highlights. Today is the best day to start; you will have a big chance to get enrolled in your ideal college as long as you express your highlights clearly.

Q : What do you learn from the work experience as Teach Assistant and Research Assistant in Case Western Reserve University?

A : I work in a great group. There are people from all over the world, Italy, Iran, India, Ukraine, America and of course China. We share ideas and help each other as much as we can. That is a real-life class of getting rid of the stereotype and trying to open your heart to make friends you may never saw before. Also our advisors are extremely strict with researches. I learned a lot from them. Being a teaching assistant means you have to talk with local students every other day; you will guide their lab, help them solve problems. It is a great time for you to experience the local lecture.

Q : What do you think are the differences between the teaching methods of Chemical Engineering in China and the USA?

A : There will be fewer students in USA for each professor, which means the teacher will definitely put more time on their students. Also, most of the professors prefer to write their teaching materials by themselves, using their own paper, making their own teaching video, and using their own imaginations to combine different books together. In a word, instead of using the same material as we do in China, they want to convey their understanding of the subject to students. I think it’s really interesting.
