I Have a Research Support System

Go to the hospital? Xu Qiu wondered, Is there something wrong with Mr. Wei's body? He looks quite energetic.

His waist and spine are not good, which should be caused by sitting for a long time and not exercising. Chen Wanqing said with emotion: He is a workaholic. According to my observation, he is basically in the office seven days a week. It is estimated that he spends more time in the office than at home. There are many.

Then what is he usually busy with? Xu Qiu asked, I think he has been in the office and doesn't come out very often.

Chen Wanqing did not answer directly, but introduced: The situation in our group is very special. Including Tian Qing who is studying in graduate school this year, there are only four people in total. It belongs to a small research group, but it has four different research directions. I am an 'organic researcher'. Photovoltaic solar cells', Feifei Wu's 'perovskite solar cells', Yun Duan's 'nanocomposite thermoelectric materials', Qing Tian's 'charge transport mechanism of solar cells'.

Although there are overlaps between the four fields, they are not the same field after all.

Therefore, Mr. Wei goes to the websites of major journals every day to check the latest updated papers, find articles related to our research field, download them, print them and send them to us.

In addition, he has to take into account teaching tasks, departmental meetings, laboratory conditions, and the scientific research progress of each of our students, etc.

It turns out that being a tutor is so busy. I thought that a postgraduate tutor is the kind who doesn't need to do experiments, and then come and sit in the office every morning, make a pot of tea, and drink for a day. Xu Qiu said.

There are mentors like that. If you don't desire to climb further and get better resources, you will be more relaxed. Chen Wanqing said.

Xu Qiu checked the time, it was half past five, and said, Sister, it's time to get off work.

Afterwards, the two went to the laboratory, checked the instruments, closed the windows, set the air conditioner to 22 degrees, then turned off the lights and locked the door.

As the meal time approached, Xu Qiu extended an invitation:

Senior sister, you have helped me a lot these days, may I treat you to dinner?

Okay, Chen Wanqing said with a light smile, I thought of the research group where my master's degree is. When I first went there, my senior sister invited me to dinner. I didn't expect it to be the other way around here.

It's easy to handle, just invite me next time. Xu Qiu also smiled.

Wait, where are you going? The cafeteria is over there. Seeing Xu Qiu walking in the opposite direction of the cafeteria, Chen Wanqing shouted.

Ah, Xu Qiu was taken aback, and said, Shouldn't the treats be eaten outside?

It's up to you to treat yourself, anyway, I'm just eating for nothing.

The cafeteria where your senior sister invited you to eat?

Uh-huh.

Okay, do you have Sichuan food?

Okay, I like spicy food.

Then go to Ziliujing Sichuan Cuisine.

Uh-huh.

...

Hello, three dishes of diving bullfrog, stir-fried kidney, mapo tofu, two bowls of rice, two cans of iced cola, just a little spicy. Inside the store, Xu Qiu said to the waiter.

The food was served quickly, within 20 minutes, three delicacies that were delicious in color, fragrance and taste were served.

Xu Qiu's treat is not only to thank senior sister, but also has another purpose.

Senior sister, can you tell me something about Teacher Wei? Xu Qiu said.

Well, it's so spicy... Chen Wanqing took a deep breath, feeling entangled in her heart:

Teacher Wei just asked me to find a way to keep Xu Qiu in the group to study in the graduate school yesterday, and today I'm going to expose his old background, which doesn't seem very good.

But this is Xu Qiu's younger brother, he invited me to eat Sichuan cuisine, and it's not easy for me to lie to him.

Hmm... I'd better tell him the truth and let him decide for himself.

Chen Wanqing put down her chopsticks, took a sip of iced Coke, and began to talk:

He is a person who gives me conflicting feelings.

On the one hand, in life, he is very kind to students.

If you have any questions or troubles, you can come to him, such as wanting to change the dormitory, and he will find a way to negotiate with the department to help you solve it;

I often invite students to eat, buy snacks, drinks, and fruits in the office, and then distribute them to students;

The labor fee is also higher than other groups.

But when it comes to scientific research, he will become paranoid and harsh.

He will discuss with you, confirm the recent research content, give you financial support, and set very difficult scientific research goals.

In the early days, he managed very loosely, but if he failed to meet his expectations for a long time, he would take measures such as reporting criticism at group meetings, putting you under great psychological pressure and forcing you to produce results;

Moreover, there are also strict standards for paper format, picture format, PPT typesetting, etc., and there may be some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If you don't follow his standards, you will be asked to change it until it feels perfect in his heart.

In short, I feel that in scientific research, he is the kind of person who is strict with himself and asks his students to be like him.

After taking another two mouthfuls of Coke, Chen Wanqing continued:

Moreover, he has relatively high requirements for scientific research results. The school's graduation requirements are one Chinese core journal for master's degree, one SCI area one or two SCI area two for doctoral degree, and his requirement is one SCI area two area for master's degree. Doctoral two SCI first area, or four SCI second area.

So, if you only plan to get a diploma, I don't recommend you to go to graduate school with Mr. Wei.

Well, the situation is almost like this, but if you want to achieve something in scientific research, this place is quite suitable, but it may be tiring.

Thank you senior sister, I will think about it carefully. Xu Qiu nodded.

After hearing what the senior sister said, he was basically determined in his heart that he was going to graduate school with Teacher Wei.

Teacher Wei's paranoid and strict approach to scientific research work may be a disadvantage in the eyes of many students, but it is an advantage in Xu Qiu's case.

Who let him have a system?

He is most worried about encountering those who have character problems, such as those who beat and scold students for no reason, or tutors who often ask students to help him with personal affairs.

…………

After the meal, Chen Wanqing planned to take a stroll in the mall, while Xu Qiu returned to the dormitory.

On the way, he opened the system interface.

##

A week is about to pass, and I have mastered a total of 11 instruments and tools, and 3 experimental operations, and I have gained a lot.

However, Xu Qiu also thought that he has not even finished learning device preparation, and there are still a series of things to learn such as material design and synthesis, performance characterization, data analysis, etc.

After that, we have to make innovations and try to realize the ambitions we set when we first got the system.

Still have to work harder!

Research has a long way to go.
