Visit to Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu

If you are planning to study in China visit Southwest Jiaotong University there are A LOT of things you need to know before you go! Also if you are curious about conducting research in China or collaborating with Chinese researchers you need to understand the Chinese mindset. So to help you learn from my experience, I documented my visit to SWJU in Chengdu and my research and teaching activities in the School of Mechanical Engineering! If you have any other plans to study or work in academia in China, please put them in the comments down below! ************************************************************** My Project Name in China: BEST, 2024-2025, Thermophysical properties enhancement of functional composite phase change materials for railway tunnel thermal environment control (Building thErmal STorage) 1.
