Visiting Zheliang University and Tsinghua University
Visiting Rui Xiao and Zheng Jia at Zheliang and attending a liquid crystal elastomer conference. The funnest part was meeting with Rui and Zheng’s students and learning about their work. Thanks, Rui, for organizing everything.
In Tsinghua, I visited Huajian Gao’s newest institute and reconnected with old friends and met new colleagues. Thank you to Ran Shi (former visiting student at the Nguyen Lab) and Quan Jiao, JHU alumnus, for spending the day with me hiking the Great Wall, eating dumplings, and hotpot.
