sifang yuan and zhang pengcheng shared their experiences and progress in postdoctoral research and growth as a teacher. starting from his personal research experience, si fangyuan introduced his research work and shared his insights as an assistant teacher at the yau mathematical sciences center. he suggested that everyone should strengthen on-site survey in scientific research and provide valuable solutions for practical engineering problems. zhang pengcheng, starting with the basics and gradually delved deeper, discussed the current development of wireless charging for electric vehicles, introduced the latest research progress of his postdoctoral project, and further shared his experience in applying for grants and his growth experience from a doctoral student to a postdoctoral researcher.
the salon was lively, the audience actively participated in heated discussions with the guests on topics such as personal growth, research methods and teamwork, and there was frequent applause throughout the salon. after the salon, the attending postdoctoral fellows expressed that this salon has strong inspirational significance for their growth in teaching and research, and they will integrate these valuable experiences into their teaching and research work in the future.
