故事

王子銘

電氣工程及其自動化專業(yè)

能從全球的競爭者中脫穎而出，王子銘認(rèn)為最重要的是自己與研究團(tuán)隊(duì)的匹配程度以及進(jìn)行研究的潛力。

“一個亮眼的成績是很棒的敲門磚，但是更重要的是如何闡述清楚自己在這個領(lǐng)域的動力與初心?！蓖踝鱼懕硎?，做到這一點(diǎn)需要自己對于未來有著相對具體的目標(biāo)與規(guī)劃。

面對牛劍的“offer”和眾多獎學(xué)金，王子銘最終還是選擇了牛津大學(xué)，并堅(jiān)定地向生物電子在臨床與神經(jīng)科學(xué)中的應(yīng)用方向進(jìn)行研究和發(fā)展。

本科期間，王子銘一路跟隨自己的興趣，并最終找到了未來發(fā)展的方向。中學(xué)時代起，他就對航模很是癡迷。大一時，王子銘加入了學(xué)校的方程式賽車隊(duì)，并擔(dān)任了車隊(duì)的“技術(shù)總監(jiān)”。期間，他將課堂學(xué)到的機(jī)械與電氣的知識運(yùn)用到了實(shí)踐，參與設(shè)計(jì)了電車的散熱系統(tǒng)并加工安裝了電機(jī)的減速齒輪組，最終組裝出來的電車還參加了全國比賽。

談及這段經(jīng)歷，王子銘至今記憶猶新：“在這里，我體驗(yàn)到了另一套‘更大’的電氣動力系統(tǒng)，這令我對于電子電氣工程的興趣更加深入。這也讓我最終在大二的小專業(yè)中選擇了電氣工程及其自動化。”

課余，王子銘參加了多項(xiàng)暑期科研項(xiàng)目，并最終確定了自己申請跨學(xué)科工程學(xué)領(lǐng)域博士的想法。

令他印象最深的是大三暑假，在學(xué)校Jim Greer教授的推薦下，王子銘參加了劍橋大學(xué)的安進(jìn)學(xué)者暑期研究項(xiàng)目，由此接觸了前沿的生命科學(xué)以及生物工程方面研究?！巴ㄟ^此項(xiàng)目，我也意識到了跨學(xué)科領(lǐng)域，尤其是電與生物醫(yī)療領(lǐng)域的結(jié)合很符合我的興趣，而工程學(xué)的魅力就在于將理論變成實(shí)際解決問題的方法。”

王子銘表示，在未來的博士求學(xué)期間，他還將繼續(xù)在工程學(xué)領(lǐng)域的海洋中不斷探索。

“我認(rèn)為寧諾最大的特點(diǎn)就是‘人文’和‘自主’，這也是它與國內(nèi)其他大學(xué)最大的區(qū)別?！蓖踝鱼懻f。他認(rèn)為，寧諾是一所以人為本的學(xué)校，學(xué)生可以在校園里充分釋放自己的靈感，并獲得學(xué)校的各種支持?！氨热缲S富多彩的社團(tuán)組織和學(xué)生活動、初入校園的‘iWeek’新生適應(yīng)周、獨(dú)特的中國文化課等，這些都能讓我們在第二課堂中達(dá)到博雅教育的目標(biāo)?！?/p>

而“自主”則體現(xiàn)在學(xué)生可以自由支配自己的課余時間。王子銘表示：“在寧諾，我們有更多自由借助學(xué)校的平臺探索自己的興趣愛好，并深入研究和運(yùn)用學(xué)到的知識。這些‘空閑’時間不僅會有一個輕松的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境，更重要的是給我們很大的自由來自主決定我們未來的發(fā)展方向?！?/p>

UNNC student secures full scholarship for direct-entry doctorate programme at Oxford

Ziming Wang, an Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduate from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), has been admitted to Oxford University to study an engineering doctoral degree. The degree is fully funded by the Clarendon Fund and starts this autumn. Ziming also received a second offer for an alternative doctoral programme at Oxford, an admissions letter for a doctorate at Cambridge, and yet another scholarship offer from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Determined to pursue a career in bioelectronics for clinical and neuroscience applications, he decided on the first Oxford offer.

Ziming believes that the key to him standing out among global competitors is his compatibility with research teams and his potential for research. "Outstanding scores are a great stepping stone, but more importantly, one should state clearly one's motivation and aspiration in their field," he said.

Since middle school, Ziming has been obsessed with model airplanes. With mechanics in mind, in his first year he joined UNNC's formula racing team as the Technical Director. Applying mechanical and electrical knowledge that he learned in class, he designed the electric car’s cooling system and also processed and installed the motor’s gear-set. This resulted in a car that participated in the national competition.

Talking about this experience, Ziming still remembers it vividly. "Here, I experienced another 'bigger' electrical power system, which deepened my interest in electronic engineering. This ultimately led me to choose it as my major."

In his spare time, Ziming participated in a number of summer research programmes and eventually decided to apply for an interdisciplinary engineering doctoral programme.

What left the deepest impression on Ziming was the summer vacation of his junior year. That summer, under the recommendation of Professor Jim Greer, he participated in the Cambridge Amgen Scholars Programme and encountered cutting-edge life science and bioengineering research. "Through this programme, I realised that interdisciplinary fields, especially the combination of electrical and electronic engineering and biomedical research, appeal to me very much. The charm of engineering lies in turning theories into practical solutions.” During his future doctoral studies, Ziming will explore the vast field of engineering.

"I think the most outstanding feature of UNNC is its emphasis on ‘humanism’ and ‘a(chǎn)utonomy’, which is also the biggest difference between it and other local universities," Ziming said. He believes that UNNC is a people-oriented university where students can make the most of the inspiration they get on campus and make good use of the many forms of support the university provides. "For example, a rich variety of student organisations and societies, diverse student activities, the 'iWeek' orientation for new students, and the unique Chinese Cultural courses all allowed us to achieve a liberal education."

This “autonomy” is reflected in the fact that students can freely utilise their spare time after classes. "At UNNC, we have more freedom to explore our interests, delve deeper into study, and apply our knowledge through the university’s platforms. The free time not only provided us with a relaxed learning environment, but more importantly, it gave us the freedom to independently determine the direction of our development.”
