Sufan Hu Selected for the 2026 CAST Young Sci-Tech Talent Cultivation Program (Doctoral Track)
The 2026 selection results of the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) Young Sci-Tech Talent Cultivation Program, Doctoral Track, have been announced, and Sufan Hu of our group has been selected.
The program aims to identify and support outstanding young researchers with strong innovative potential, and the doctoral track recognizes both research ability and future promise. Sufan's selection affirms his diligence and creativity in research and marks another milestone for the group in talent development and academic team building.
We warmly congratulate Sufan and wish him continued success and even greater achievements in his research career.
Farewell to Guangchang Shu as He Begins His PhD at RMIT
The group held a farewell gathering for Guangchang Shu as he prepared to begin his PhD at RMIT University in Australia. Guangchang joined us as a research assistant in October 2025. Until August 2026, he helped establish the lab, procure and commission equipment, coordinate administrative and day-to-day work, and carry out research and experiments. We thank him for his outstanding contribution to the group and wish him every success in his next chapter.
On June 26, 2026, Jiamin Fu took part in an admissions consultation event in Linhai, introducing EIT as a compact, innovative research university built to high standards. He explained the 2026 admissions routes, including the comprehensive “Trinity” assessment and the national college entrance examination. Students enter under Computer Science and Technology, undertake general education and then choose their major. The 2026 cohort receives tuition reductions for all four years, paying RMB 6,000 per academic year. He also highlighted the university’s faculty and opportunities for first-year undergraduates to join research labs. Prospective students and their families discussed admissions and the educational model with him.
On May 14, 2026, Prof. Le Yu of Beijing University of Chemical Technology visited iEMD Lab and delivered a talk, “Confinement Chemistry for High-Specific-Energy Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries,” at the seventh Materials Intelligence Forum of the School of Materials Science and Engineering. Addressing zinc dendrites and parasitic hydrogen evolution, he presented advances in 3D zinc-anode hosts, zincophilic reaction sites and confined regulation of zinc metal anodes, and discussed prospects for the field. Jiamin Fu welcomed Prof. Yu, recognized his contributions to carbon-based porous materials and electrochemical energy storage, and expressed interest in closer collaboration. The talk was followed by a discussion with students and faculty. Prof. Yu was accompanied by Huan Yu, an assistant research fellow at Zhejiang Wanli University, and Haixin Yao, a PhD student at Fudan University.
