The first XMU-XMUM Electrochemistry Summer School was held from July 29 to 31, at Xiamen University Malaysia (XMUM), gathering 40 professors, young researchers, and undergraduate students from seven universities and one Malaysian research institute.
At the opening ceremony, Professor Jiang Yunbao, former vice-president of Xiamen University (XMU) and dean of the China-Malaysia International Institute for Academic Studies (CMIIAS), said that CMIIAS would prioritize integrating scientific research and talent cultivation in areas such as China-Malaysia energy chemistry and green transportation.
XMUM's Vice President Zhang Ying praised efficient cooperation between XMU and XMUM, encouraging greater exchanges to advance international collaboration. Professor Ren Bin from XMU's College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering added that the university should utilize its strong research foundation and international influence in electrochemistry to drive scientific cooperation between China and Malaysia in cutting-edge fields.
During the three-day course, high-quality academic lectures were delivered by nine XMU professors, including Professors Zhan Dongping and Wang Tao. From electrochemical energy transition to frontier applications of artificial intelligence in modeling, simulation, and experimental automation, the course showcased the latest research progress and future development trends.
Six fundamental experiments, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), were also designed as core parts of the course, with professors and faculty assistants providing step-by-step guidance for every participant.
