"I have been working under Dr. Wang as graduate research assistant since September 2019. Experience I have working with him is of great value to me. Carefulness in performing experiments and the enthusiasm he show in imparting knowledge are the important points that I feel are the reasons I still work under him. Repeating the experiments or studies until results are achieved without getting discouraged is the main agenda for him which I think gave him a great knowledge of performing experiments, it is also one of the main points I learnt from him apart from the experimental studies."

"I am a graduate student in this school, receiving department support as a research and teaching assistant. I found this school has a very strong atmosphere of engineering thinking, and lots of students will do co-op and interns during college or graduate school, which enables the students to have a deeper understanding through hands-on experience."
