Graduate interview | Wu Zuodong: Grasp the moment, Yuan Dream California

Baiju has gathered, and another graduate is about to go to the sea of ​​stars in their respective life. Four years have shined, and the light shines on the vast. Guangdong Israel Institute of Technology's 2018 undergraduate graduate series of interviews will take everyone into the story of the students, recalling the past years, and looking forward to the future of the future.

In this issue, we will share with you the story of Wu Zuodong, a graduate of the materials science and engineering.

In the four years, Wu Zuodong can use "Work Hard, PLAY HARD": excellent grades, scholarships and admission books double harvests; rich life, academics and hobbies balance. Looking back at college time, he believes that the growth and gains of these four years are inseparable from their own efforts and school support.

Wide unique charm

"I am a native of Shantou. In 2017, I had the idea of ​​being widely come. Later, the scores of the college entrance examination also met." Although the school is in Shantou, there are many resources and opportunities. "The headquarters of the Israeli Institute of Technology) is the same as" reading ", and it has not narrowed his vision. "Guangyi will provide a lot of scientific research opportunities. If you like what direction, you will be looking for a professor. They are welcome to study in the group." He made a junior year in the experimental group of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Use common crystal alloys as a topic electrode measuring molecular self -assembled film electrical properties "topic.

Wu Zuodong is in the laboratory.

It is widely equipped with a world -class laboratory and is a classroom for undergraduate academic training.吴作栋认为，“学校的科研环境和资金支持给我们提供了试错的机会。老师也鼓励我们自己去探索。比如在谢老师组里的时候，他不会一上来就告诉我实验的步骤，而It is given a general direction to let me explore myself. "In Guangyi, he also developed its own learning ability, enhanced the" search business ", and first found the answer to find a problem.

In addition, the environment of the whole British teaching also brings him "unexpected surprises". He had inferiority because his English pronunciation was not good, but after he came to China, he found that language is actually a tool for communication. The teachers come from different places. The accent style is very different, but this does not affect classroom communication. "Now my biggest change is not to dare to express because of the accent." He joked, "I also figured it out, I don't even speak well in Mandarin, it is not surprising that there is accent in English!"

Find the balance point of learning and life

The goal that Zongtong gave himself was: learning to maintain excellent and lived life. To this end, he found a set of methods that suits him: overcome procrastination and delay satisfaction. "I got a homework and started to do it immediately. While doing the content of the class, I wrote down the knowledge points. Generally, it can be done in a day or two.

My friend described him "better than students who have better grades, and have a better grade than students who play." When he was the most memories of Wu Zuodong, while maintaining the GPA90 or more, he strived to go to Changsha, Shanghai, Hong Kong to watch the concert, and do what he wanted to do.

Zongtong is also enthusiastic to help others. He has served as the 2019 Peer Mentor, and takes them to the campus environment after entering the school and answered questions. "I like myself to help others. I hope everyone can take less detours and live a smoother life in school."

Dream California

"If it is not for this platform, I will not be so smooth."

Wu Zuodong has always had a dream of going to California. The international city in Los Angeles brought together the elements he liked -when he began to watch the ball at the age of 11, James was playing for the Lakers in Los Angeles; the favorite singer Justin Bi Bi Boz Malone had a concert in Los Angeles; he liked to watch the sunset by the sea, and the sunset in the western cities made him yearn for fascination. Under the clear goal guidance, Wu Zongdong successfully applied for the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) with his efforts and self -discipline, and Dream California.

Near graduation, Wu Zuodong was a little reluctant to live in Shantou for more than 20 years. He will go to the second largest city in the United States in the future. I don't know if he can adapt. But he also knows that growth is to get out of the comfort zone. He will deeply cultivate the direction of electronic materials in UCLA. "I am very interested in environmental protection. In the future, I want to engage in research on energy -related directions, such as photovoltaic batteries. If you can study the efficiency and stability of photovoltaic batteries, expand the application scenarios of photovoltaic materials, reduce the amount of electricity and use of thermal power, and reduce the amount of electricity and use of thermal power. It can also be considered a force for environmental protection. "

"You Only Live ONCE" is his motto, a portrayal of his four -year college life, and his expectations for the future. Yuanmeng California was a successful period for Wu Zongdong's college life painting, and also opened a new exploration journey. In the future, he will go to a wider world and continue to chase his love.
