While fully engaged, Director Zhao Wei personally led them to visit State Key Laboratory of Transient Optics and Photonics. In the Lab. students are like walking into a magical world of light. Feeling the cutting-edge optics directly and effectively makes everyone excited, which also inspired them longing for the palace of optical science.
Director Zhao Wei made two lectures of "An Introduction of Scientific Researches in XIOPM" and "Let Talents Support Innovation and Surpass" and introduced the latest advances in optical research, development perspective and talents introduction in XIOPM.
The open day activities make the students have a new understanding of science and technology and also have a clearer target of their academic planning with the faith of serving the country by technology deeply in the hearts of everyone.
