Invited by the School of Microelectronics, Professor Eunjoo Jang, Academician of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea (NAEK) and Professor of Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), along with Dr. James (Jueng-Gil) LEE, a State Specially Recruited Expert of China and Deputy Chief Engineer of the R&D Center of TCL Corporation, visited the university from March 26 to 29. During their stay, they delivered academic lectures and engaged in exchange activities. Xu Weilin, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Party Secretary of the University, and Professor Fu Xin, President of the University, met with the two experts. The directors of the Party Committee Office for Talent Development, the International Office, the Human Resources Department, and the School of Microelectronics held in-depth discussions and negotiations with the experts on potential collaborations.
On the morning of March 26, Xu Weilin warmly welcomed the two experts and held cordial discussions with them. He introduced the university's distinctive strengths and advantages in talent cultivation, scientific research, as well as its research platforms and facilities. He engaged in in-depth exchanges with the experts regarding collaboration in areas such as talent cultivation, scientific research, and industry practices, and also explored initiatives for building a high-level talent team. Xu emphasized that the university places great importance on international cooperation in talent development and scientific research, and is committed to creating a conducive environment for foreign experts. He expressed his hope that the two experts would work closely with the School of Microelectronics to establish new teams and platforms, thereby fostering new international achievements in talent cultivation, scientific research, and technology transfer in the relevant disciplines.
On the morning of March 27, the university held an international exchange and cooperation symposium. Professor Fu Xin, President of the university, attended the symposium and met with the two experts. On behalf of the university, Fu Xin once again extended a warm welcome to the visiting experts. He introduced the university's history, current development, and its talent strategy for the "Double First-Class" initiative, with a special focus on the university's commitment to opening up and advancing international exchanges and cooperation, particularly its collaborations with relevant universities in the Republic of Korea. He also engaged in in-depth discussions with the experts on the foundations, advantages, and prospects of potential cooperation, drawing on the industrial strengths of Wuhan Optics Valley and the development plans for microelectronics-related disciplines at the university. The directors of the Party Committee Office for Talent Development, the International Office, the Human Resources Department, and the School of Microelectronics held detailed talks with the experts, explaining the university's talent policies, research conditions, and support services, and addressing one by one the issues of concern raised by the two experts.
On the afternoon of March 26, the Party Committee Office for Talent Development, the State Key Laboratory of Textile New Materials and Advanced Processing Technologies, and the School of Microelectronics jointly organized a special academic salon, inviting the two distinguished experts to deliver lectures on cutting-edge technologies in optoelectronic devices and displays. Professor Eunjoo Jang presented a talk titled "Perspectives on Quantum Dot Technology: Small Success & Big Impact," in which she systematically reviewed the complete development trajectory of quantum dot technology — from fundamental physics discoveries to its core applications in the high-end display industry — demonstrating the profound impact of micro-nano technological breakthroughs on the global industrial landscape. Dr. James (Jueng-Gil) Lee delivered a lecture titled "The Latest Technology Breakthroughs of Flexible Printed OLED Display Technology," introducing the latest advances in flexible printed OLED display technology while discussing its future development trends in smart devices and emerging display scenarios from the perspective of industrialization pathways. The two presentations provided the faculty and students with in-depth academic insights and industry-oriented perspectives on the latest cutting-edge information in optoelectronic display science and technology.
During their visit, the two experts toured the university's Textile Science and Technology Museum, the Analysis and Testing Center, and the research laboratories of the School of Microelectronics, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the university's textile cultural heritage, scientific and technological innovation achievements, multidisciplinary development strategy, as well as its research conditions, research teams, and academic atmosphere.
In addition, the School of Microelectronics organized a number of cultural exchange activities, facilitating in-depth exchanges between the two experts and the talent teams and young PhDs of the school. These activities allowed the experts to experience the school's strong sense of humanistic care and helped promote cultural exchanges between China and the Republic of Korea.
