At Apr.3rd, professor Kevin Jones and professor Kirk T. Semple from Lancaster University made a memorable visit to the GIG. Kevin was the prof.Zhao’s teacher during her PHD. The day kicked off with a stimulating group meeting, where five students presented their current research progress. Each presentation was met with keen interest and constructive feedback from Kevin, known for his insightful perspectives. His engaging comments not only showcased his expertise but also sparked lively discussions among the researchers. It provided an invaluable opportunity for students to receive international recognition and guidance.
