A Month of USST for Summer Vacation Officially Released

Preface

USSTers are striving hard in the blistering summer.

Under regular pandemic prevention and control, all departments at USST never slacked in either mind or in prevention actions, and strove to build a “firewall” against the pandemic during the summer vacation.

Leaders have been everywhere to carry out intensive research and promote the high-level development of USST by visiting universities, deepening cooperation and meeting alumni. USST teachers have made full use of their summer to enhance teaching quality and immerse themselves in experiments. They endeavor for better teaching methods and further scientific research, making due contributions to the development of USST. Young students are living their expectations to the fullest. They brighten their youth and make efforts to reach what they strive for through actively participating in social activities and increase enthusiasm in experimental learning.

During the summer vacation, USST achieved a lot. Two cooperation framework agreements were signed with AUST（Amhui University of Science and Technology）and Karamay Cloud Computing Industrial Park, respectively. Papers were written by USST teams like Future Optical Laboratory led by Academician Zhuang Songlin, Medical Imaging Technology Team led by Professor Nie Shengdong, young teachers like Hu Haisheng. Led by Academician Zhuang Songlin, the Ultra-precision Optical Team from Future Optical Laboratory made progress in the multiplex amplification of target genes of periodontal pathogens of continuous flow PCR microfluidic chip. USST students reached a new peak in the 7th China International College Students ‘Internet+’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. USST was honored with 75 national natural science foundation projects and 2 national Excellent Young Scientists Funds. The new semester is approaching, making USST campus brimming with laughter, energy and vitality. Every teacher and student is heading for a brighter future, with full confidence and ambitiousness.

Here are 26 Keywords that describe 2021 USST summer vacation in alphabetical order:
