I Have a Research Support System

This entire floor belongs to Gong Yuanjiang's research group. There are two student offices, two teacher offices, and four laboratories.

Gong Yuanjiang first took Wei Xingsi and Xu Qiu to another teacher's office. There was also a small boss in his group named Alex, a beautiful Chinese, a distinguished professor of Kainan University, who did not attend the dinner yesterday due to business.

Alex can speak Chinese, and he chatted with Wei Xingsi casually after meeting.

The number of foreign professors of science and engineering in domestic colleges and universities is relatively small, the proportion may only be a few percent, and most of them are affiliated with big bosses. It is rare for a small boss to independently manage a research group.

In other words, the country is relatively xenophobic. This is because for thousands of years, although dynasties have changed, the people are all those people. They have not had too in-depth exchanges with foreign nations, and there is no history of being colonized.

Relatively speaking, the beautiful country is more tolerant. Regardless of race, anyone can be an official, because it was established by a foreign nation, and its history is very short. Of course, there is discrimination. Most of the supreme people are white.

Next, Gong Yuanjiang took Wei Xingsi and Xu Qiu to visit four laboratories in turn. His research group also works six days a week and takes one day off. Because there are more people in the group and the management is more flexible, students can choose their own labs. Saturday or Sunday are off, so some students are still working in the laboratory today.

However, there are not many students working, because there will be a conference this Sunday, and all students must be present. If you choose to work on Saturday, you must also come on Sunday.

The four laboratories are very large, with a total area of ​​more than 500 square meters.

The two are organic synthesis laboratories, similar to Mr. Wei Zhang Jiang's laboratory, with rows of fume hoods, rotary evaporators, liquid chromatographs and other common equipment;

One is a characterization test laboratory, which houses various characterization equipment. Xu Qiu basically knows them all, and they are all small instruments, including ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometers, electrochemical workstations, etc., such as XRD, TEM, etc. Gong Yuanjiang's group didn't have any, after all, such an instrument is too expensive, and it is usually shared by the whole department;

There is also a device laboratory, with two rows of glove boxes, a row of four glove boxes, a total of eight, and each row of four glove boxes is equipped with a solar simulator, an evaporation cabin, and two Heated glue homogenizer.

To sum up, the conditions in the laboratory are much better than those in Mr. Wei's group. This is the difference in the background between Yangtze River and Qingqian.

Of course, Xu Qiu was not too envious. Teacher Wei's research group is small, but it has all the internal organs. It has all the necessary equipment, and there are channels for testing the missing equipment.

Moreover, Xu Qiu has a simulation experiment system, he said in his heart: Your laboratory is very good, but now it is mine. in the virtual space.

After visiting the laboratory, Gong Yuanjiang took the two of them to the student office. This year's two doctoral freshmen are already waiting here. One of them is Mo Wenlin. After seeing Xu Qiu, she nodded to him.

This is Mo Wenlin, and this is Lu Binghui... Gong Yuanjiang introduced, This is Teacher Wei Xingsi and his student Xu Qiu.

Hello, Teacher Wei! Hello, Teacher Wei~ A man and a woman stood up and said hello.

Hello. Wei Xingsi responded with a smile.

Xu Qiu murmured in his heart that Mo Wenlin was indeed a candidate for exchange students. He contacted him in advance yesterday to step on the spot and understand the situation in the group. Although Mo Wenlin's first impression of him was not bad, the selection still had Be careful, after all, after two years of exchange time, the third year just got the results and went back to write a graduation thesis, which is almost equivalent to studying for a Ph.D. in Teacher Wei's group.

Now that Xu Qiu's ITIC system has just been rolled out, it is the time when there is a shortage of people, and every strength is very important.

So, Xu Qiu looked at another boy, Lu Binghui, who was tall and big, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He didn't have a deep impression on him yesterday. He only remembered that he also went to a board game store, but he was assigned to another group. He didn't take the initiative to communicate with him.

The system has the ability to copy other people's experimental skills, and also has the function of testing the proficiency of other people's experimental operations. It's just that Xu Qiu didn't use this function before, and now he can check it out.

At this time, Gong Yuanjiang said: You two briefly introduce yourself to Mr. Wei, Mo Wenlin, you come first.

Mo Wenlin said: My undergraduate degree is Dongfa University (General 211), and then I studied for a master's degree for three years. During the master's degree, my research direction was mainly 'applied research on asymmetric catalytic reactions of small organic molecules', and I published an article Chem. Commun. and one article on Macromolecules, two SCI papers with the first author in the second area, one with the second author in the second area, and one with the third author in the first area...

Xu Qiu checked the proficiency of her various experimental skills. The proficiency of organic synthesis is the highest, 10% at the fifth level. Among the proficiency assessed by the system, the fifth level is an important threshold. Once it breaks through the fifth level, it means that you are right This experimental operation has its own understanding.

When Xu Qiu first joined the research group, senior sister Chen Wanqing didn't have any of the major experimental skills above level five...

Now the seniors are about to graduate in a year, and only one of them has the ability to clean substrates above level five, and the rest are high level four...

Mo Wenlin's advantage is that she has a strong background in organic synthesis. The disadvantage is that her work during her master's degree is not related to organic photovoltaics, so she needs a lot of study. She is still at the stage of reading literature and understanding the field of organic photovoltaics.

Afterwards, Lu Binghui said: My undergraduate degree is in the Chemistry Department of Kainan University, and my master's degree is 'Transition Metal Catalytic Synthesis'. group, there is an Anal.

Xu Qiu checked his proficiency in experimental skills. He has skills such as cleaning substrates, spin coating, and evaporation, and his proficiency is above the fourth level, while his proficiency in organic synthesis is average, at 70% of the fourth level. It may be due to an accident caused by his instructor Influence.

Professors and scholars are also human beings, and there are chances of encountering accidents.

In general, if an accident happens to a professor in a liberal arts department, the impact on students is relatively small, because the postgraduate model of liberal arts mainly relies on students to read and acquire knowledge. The tutor occasionally preaches and accepts the job, but the overall participation is not as bad as that of science and engineering. High, generally there are not too many PUSH phenomena, students have more free time, and they can also take exams, find internships and so on.

But science and engineering are different. If there is an accident with the instructor, there is a high probability that the student will be assigned to other research groups in the department. Basically, there will be no two research groups in the same school whose research fields completely overlap. When changing the research group, basically all the previous work must be cleared.

If you have just entered the group for a short time, that’s okay, you can start over. If you are in the second or third year of research and have no published articles, you can graduate by publishing articles based on unfinished work.

Lu Binghui's advantage is that he has been in Gong Yuanjiang's group for a year, has an entry-level understanding of organic photovoltaics, and can do various experimental operations. The disadvantage is that it is miscellaneous but not refined, and there is nothing particularly outstanding.

After Xu Qiu made a comprehensive judgment, he still felt that Mo Wenlin was better.

However, if it was Mo Wenlin who came to Mr. Wei's place to exchange ideas, Xu Qiu's four generals were all girls, a little...

After Mo Wenlin and Lu Binghui finished their introductions, Gong Yuanjiang asked Teacher Wei, Look at it and see which one you think is more suitable.

Wei Xingsi looked at the two of them and said, You all want to come, right?

Mo Wenlin nodded immediately, and Lu Binghui hesitated for a moment before nodding.

You have so many students here, why don't you pack two for me? Wei Xingsi joked.

That can't be done. If this is the case, the school's procedures will definitely not pass, so we can only choose one. Gong Yuanjiang shook his head with a smile.

Hmm... Wei Xingsi glanced at Xu Qiu and said, Let me think about it. I'll sit in your office first.

Okay, Gong Yuanjiang turned his head and said, Mo Wenlin, Lu Binghui, don't leave yet.

When the three returned to Gong Yuanjiang's office, Wei Xingsi said, Xu Qiu, which of the two of them do you think is better?

Gong Yuanjiang said heartily: Xingsi, you are planning to let classmate Xu Qiu decide.

Well, Wei Xingsi nodded, after all, it's up to him to recruit people, because it mainly depends on what Xu Qiu wants.

I still think you have the courage to ask undergraduates to host a team. If I leave it on my side, it will probably be messy. Gong Yuanjiang shook his head: Students have their own personalities, and there are too many people, and the team will be difficult to lead.

It's the same everywhere, Wei Xingsi continued, I can't control Tian Qing and Duan Yun in our group.

The two teachers chatted for a while, then looked at Xu Qiu together, waiting to hear his result, Xu Qiu didn't hold back, and said bluntly: I am more optimistic about Mo Wenlin.

Oh? Why? Mo Wenlin didn't study organic photovoltaics during her master's degree. Gong Yuanjiang asked curiously. For him, Lu Binghui has been working here for a year, and he has already started to do experiments. He is obviously a more suitable candidate. After Mo Wenlin has passed, he has to start training from scratch. Maybe this training will last for half a year. passed.

Based on the analysis process of the proficiency of system detection, Xu Qiu must not be able to say it. He thought for a while and said: Now the team needs synthesis masters, and if synthesis experience is needed, I think Mo Wenlin is stronger... After all, she published Two articles.

When mentioning the article here, Xu Qiu was just looking for an excuse. It is not accurate to infer a person's experimental ability from the number of articles. For example, the senior sister has a lot of articles, but the experimental ability is scum.

Gong Yuanjiang nodded, reluctantly believing Xu Qiu's words, but he always felt that Xu Qiu was hiding something, of course it was not important to him, he turned his head and said, Xingsi, what do you say?

Let's just listen to Xu Qiu. Wei Xingsi nodded lightly. He didn't doubt whether to hire someone or not. Since Xu Qiu has been put in the position of the small boss of the research group, it is better for him to be in charge of this kind of selection.

Okay. Gong Yuanjiang picked up the landline next to his desk and pressed four numbers. This is the school's internal line.

The call was connected quickly, and Gong Yuanjiang simply said into the microphone: Mo Wenlin, come to my office.
