Yan Dehao from Tsinghua University


As an undergraduate student about to enter Phd studies, I have always been eager to study at renowned universities in other countries, which can broaden my horizons and enhance my abilities. Therefore, I have been paying attention to overseas study and exchange programs, and ultimately chose this program. This is my first time studying abroad alone, so I chose South Korea, which is geographically closer. As this is an official program, the travel process is also more secure. These are the reasons why I participated in this program.

As the program is only one month long, the professor suggested that I conduct an easy to learn experimental work. The main content of the experiment is to prepare a solution of liquid metal and polymer, and then measure its rheological properties using a rheometer. During the process of conducting this experiment, I learned some experimental operation techniques that I was not familiar with before, as well as the usage of instruments such as rheometer. Overall, participating in this program has been very rewarding for me.

My favorite part of this program is the experimental part. I rarely conducted experiments similar to chemical operations before, only doing some physical experiments, so I found them very novel and interesting.

I think this project has given me a valuable experience of international exchange. I not only made friends from many different countries, but also learned about their cultures and acquired new knowledge. I believe these will be of great help to my future Phd studies.
