廣以畢業生|從化工到半導體，圓夢全獎博士

● ●● 中以教育合作

在科研世界裡，每一次探索都是一場未知的旅程。回首本科四年，黎穎表示，廣以自由開放的教學模式、與國際接軌的全英教學、鼓勵科研的學術氛圍，都是未來漫長道路上穩固的基石。從廣以畢業後，她選擇前往新加坡國立大學化學工程系繼續攻讀碩士，並在碩士畢業後跨專業申請，收穫了南洋理工大學電子工程全獎博士錄取通知書，即將開啟更加精彩的深造旅程。

今天，讓我們一起聆聽廣東以色列理工學院2019級化學工程專業畢業生黎穎的故事。

廣以四年：為我開啟科研之門

“廣東以色列理工學院給了我探索科研的機會，也讓我遇到了這條路上的啟蒙導師。”回望本科四年，黎穎坦言自己的高考成績並不理想，初入廣以也度過了一段有些艱難的不適應期。語言壓力大、課程節奏快，是她最明顯的感受，但這種環境反而能激發潛能。“在適度的壓力下，我很快學會了主動尋求幫助，和同學一起”抱團“進步。”順利度過不適應期後，黎穎開始了“如魚得水”的大學生活。

“廣以的學習對我之後的深造起了非常關鍵的作用。這裡的課程體系非常紮實，尤其是在工程基礎、資料處理、實驗設計等方面，為我未來深造打下了良好的學習基礎。”除此之外，全英授課的模式也讓黎穎從一開始就習慣於閱讀英文文獻，用英文撰寫科研報告。“在新加坡深造的日子，我不需要再花時間克服語言問題，可以全身心地投入專業學習中。”

在廣以，黎穎還遇見了對自己影響深遠的導師。“在本科階段，我有幸加入了何雪忠副教授的課題組。”在她眼中，何老師幾乎是“全能型”的導師，既精通材料實驗，也有深厚的工業背景，同時還掌握數值模擬、程式碼建模等技術，每一個實驗設計的背後都強調邏輯和機制分析。在何老師的言傳身教下，黎穎迅速建立起科研的系統思維，形成了良好的科研習慣。“毫不誇張地說，正是這個階段讓我從一個只會‘照著做’的本科生，逐漸成長為能獨立思考、進行跨領域整合的科研人員。”雖然已經本科畢業多年，談及在課題組的點點滴滴，黎穎始終記憶猶新。

“在課題組，我參與了有關溼潤條件下二氧化碳分離膜領域的研究。我和團隊成員們一起製備奈米複合膜，並透過氣體滲透實驗測試其效能，這是我第一次完整參與科研專案。”從文獻調查到材料製備、實驗操作再到資料分析，這一系列的流程讓黎穎對科研產生了濃厚的興趣，並在本科階段，以第一作者的身份在高分子科學領域的國際期刊《Polymers》上發表學術論文。

職場探索，讓我堅定讀博深造

憑藉著良好的數理基礎和紮實的科研能力，黎穎在後續的申請季中順利拿到新加坡國立大學的碩士錄取通知，前往更高的學術殿堂繼續深造。與來自不同背景的同學接觸後，她更加體會到廣以教育的獨特優勢。“我們從本科就習慣用英文寫論文、做報告，也更勇於與老師互動和提問，這些習慣幫助我在新環境中快速進入狀態。”

除了教學模式，廣以重視科研、鼓勵本科生做科研的氛圍也讓黎穎在新學校中也快速確定了自己的努力方向。“透過本科階段在課題組的一次次實驗，讓我慢慢認識到自己是願意走科研這條路的，我選擇科研並不是為了升學而是源於我內心的熱愛。相比之下，我身邊的有些其他高校的同齡人在碩士階段才接觸科研，碩士科研壓力大，沒有太多‘試錯’的機會，所以他們會更偏向於為了發論文而做專案，少了主動性和興趣作為驅動。”

碩士畢業後，黎穎順利步入職場。 “在日常工作中，我的科研能力和獨立思考能力被老闆注意到，他推薦我參與完成更具挑戰性的專案，成果也受到了團隊的認可。”老闆和同事們對她能力的肯定，讓她開始有了繼續深造的打算，並開始著手準備申請材料。

經過層層篩選，她最終成功獲得南洋理工大學電子工程博士全獎錄取，成為為數不多的跨專業成功者之一。“這個專業一向很難申請，在廣以科研團隊中的積累讓我養成了良好的思維方式和邏輯能力，無論是在工作中還是在科研中，都讓我展示出了一些獨特的優勢。“談及成功申請的秘訣，她表示。

“我對半導體行業在能源、通訊及人工智慧等領域的廣闊前景充滿期待。博士期間，我將深入鑽研其在下一代晶片和器件封裝中的應用，致力於將實驗室的創新成果轉化為實際的解決方案，為行業發展貢獻力量。” 展望未來，黎穎滿懷信心。

對於有志於學術事業的師弟師妹

黎穎也分享了自己作為“過來人”的經驗

“科研不只是埋頭做實驗，更需要持續拓展視野、主動爭取資源、不斷進行自我更新。平臺很重要，但更關鍵的是，個人能否在每一個階段都主動出擊、積累力量，並抓住跳躍的契機。“她特別提到，選對導師，往往比選對專案更重要。擁有一位真正願意傾囊相授、注重思維方式培養的導師，是她科研道路上最寶貴的財富。“我很幸運在本科階段就遇到了何雪忠老師。”

In the world of scientific research, each exploration is a journey into the unknown. Looking back at Li Ying's four years at GTIIT, the open teaching mode, immersive English-taught environment, and research-oriented academic culture all laid a solid foundation for her research. After graduating from GTIIT, she chose to study in the program of Chemical Engineering at the National University of Singapore. Upon completing her mater's degree, she successfully got a fully-funded Ph.D. offer in electronic engineering from Nanyang Technological University. She now stands poised to embark on her long-cherished academic odyssey.

Today, let's listen to the story of Li Ying, a 2019 graduate of GTIIT Chemical Engineering program.

Four Years at GTIIT :

Opened the Door to Scientific Research

"GTIIT gave me the opportunity to explore scientific research and introduced me to my first mentor on this path," said Li Ying. Looking back on her undergraduate years, she admitted that her Gaokao scores were not satisfactory, and she went through a difficult period in her initial transition to GTIIT. The English teaching model and the fast pace of the courses were the most daunting, but these unleashed her potential. "Under moderate pressure, I quickly learned to actively seek help and to work together with my classmates for improvement," she said. After smoothly navigating the adjustment period, Li Ying began to thrive in university.

“GTIIT was a key for my further studies. The solid curriculum, especially in engineering basics, data processing and experiment design, laid a strong foundation for me.”The English teaching model also helped her get used to reading English papers and writing research reports in English. “Thanks to this, I didn't struggle with language during my graduate studies in Singapore and could focus fully on my study.”

At GTIIT, Li Ying met He Xuezhong, a professor who had a profound impact on her. She joined Prof. He’s research group. In her eyes, Prof. He is almost an “all – round” mentor, proficient in material experiments, with a strong industrial background, and skilled in numerical simulation and code modelling. He emphasizes logic and mechanism analysis behind every experiment. Learning from Prof. He, Li Ying quickly developed systematic thinking and good research habits. “It’s no exaggeration that this stage transformed me from an undergraduate student merely following instructions into a researcher who can think independently and integrate interdisciplinary knowledge,” she said. Years after graduation, she still vividly remembers her time in the research group.

“In the research group, I participated in the research on CO₂ separation membranes under humid conditions. Our team made nano-composite membranes and tested their properties through gas permeation experiments. This was my first full-scale involvement in a research project.”This whole process, from paper investigation to material preparation, experiment operation, and then to data analysis, really sparked her interest in scientific research. During her undergraduate years, she got to publish an academic paper as the first author in Polymers, an international journal in polymer science.

Exploration in Workplace:

Deepened My Commitment to a Ph.D

With a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, as well as strong research abilities, Li Ying successfully received an offer of a master's program from the National University of Singapore. After interacting with classmates from different backgrounds, she became even more aware of the unique advantages of GTIIT. "We got used to writing papers and giving presentations in English and were more willing to interact with professors and ask questions. These habits helped me quickly adapt to the new environment."

Beyond its teaching model, GTIIT's strong research culture, which actively encourages undergraduate research, helped Li Ying quickly identify her academic focus in the new university. "The experiments I did as an undergraduate student made me realize I love scientific research. My choice was driven by passion, not just for higher education. Some of my peers from other universities began research in their master's years. Under great research pressure with limited room for trial and error, they tend to work on projects just for publications, lacking the drive of interest and initiative."

After obtaining her master's degree, Li Ying chose to work. "In my daily work, my research and independent thinking skills were noticed by my boss. He recommended me for more challenging projects, and the results were recognized by the team." In addition, her boss's repeated encouragement also strengthened her confidence in further education.

After a rigorous selection process, she got a fully-funded Ph.D. position in Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, achieving a rare cross-field success. She attributes this to the critical thinking and logic skills she gained from her research experience at GTIIT, which have served her well in both workplace and her academic pursuit.

"I'm excited about the semiconductor industry's potential in energy, communications, and AI. During my Ph.D., I'll delve into its applications in next-generation chips and device packaging. I aim to turn lab-based innovations into practical solutions and contribute to the industry," said Li Ying with confidence.

For younger students aspiring to academic career：

"Scientific research is not just about experiments; it also requires continuously expanding your horizons, actively seeking resources, and constantly renewing yourself. Platform is important, but what is more important is whether you can take the initiative at each stage, build up your strength, and seize opportunities." She specifically mentioned that choosing the right mentor is often more important than choosing the right project. Having a mentor who is truly willing to share their knowledge and focus on cultivating her way of thinking is the most valued asset on her research journey. "I was so fortunate to meet Professor He Xuezhong during my undergraduate years."
