Guests from University of Seville in Spain to School of Energy Science and Engineering
May 1, 2018
Sponsored by the fund for internationalization and Project Co-construction of high-level graduate courses with famous scholars of the graduate school and thanks to the invitation from Prof. Jian Wu of School of Energy Science and Engineering and Associate Professor Yukun Ren of School of Mechatronics Engineering of our university, Prof. Antonio Ramos and Prof. Alberto T. Pérez, from the department of Electronics and Electromagnetism of University of Seville in Spain, paid a visit to our school from April 15,2018 to April 22,2018. During their visit, the two scholars gave a lecture on Electrohydrodynamics Fundamentals and Applications, one of the courses awarded by Project “Co-construction of high-level graduate courses with famous scholars. The course is the first graduate course on Electrohydrodynamics in China, and it attracted around 30 teachers and students in total, who are from schools such as School of Energy Science and Engineering, School of Mechatronics Engineering and Department of Physics, to attend. In addition, the two professors gave three excellent academic presentations to introduce their major research areas and to present some representative work their team have achieved in recent years.
During the visit, the two professors met with Zhenhui Tian, Party Secretary of School of Energy Science and Engineering, who introduced the basic infromation of our university and our school to the visiting scholars. What’s more, Secretary Tian also introduced the circumstances of the ERASMUS+LPEB Program, in which our school has taken part. Both University of Seville and our HIT are important members of the program. Afterwards, both sides have expressed the will to further enhance co-operation. Yong Shuai, the Associate Dean of our school attended the academic presentation gave by the two scholars and gave souvenirs on the behalf of our school. During the visit, Prof. Antonio and Prof. Alberto visited Lab of Electrohydrodynamics of our school and Lab of MEMS Functionalized Microfluidic Devices of School of Mechatronics Engineering. Meanwhile, they had a deep discussion with Prof. Wu and Associate Prof. Ren in terms of matters such as building international joint laboratories, scientific co-operation, joint education and serving as adjunct professors. The visiting professor expressed their willingness to offer help within their power to the development of subjects such as Electrohydrodynamics and Microfluids of our university.
