HZU Delegates Attended the 2ndInternational Seminar
between Huizhou University and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
2017-12-4
Aiming to deepen cooperation with universities along the Belt and Road
Initiative, strengthen the stage of academic communication and promote
international research collaboration, HZU delegated 9 researchers from School
of Information Science and Technology, School of Chemistry and Materials
Engineering and School of Mathematics and Big Data Science to attendthe
2nd International Seminar between Huizhou University and Universiti Teknologi
Malaysia(UTM).
In the opening ceremony, Professor Abudll Rahim Mohd Yusoff, Director of IBNU
SINA Institute, warmly welcomed HZU delegation and highly appreciated the
realization of this intellectual gathering. In his opening speech, Professor CAI
Zhaoquan, on behalf the delegation, said that it was the delegation’s genuine
hope that understanding between two universities can be improved and
collaboration on specific areas further discussed.
During the parallel presentation sessions, HZU researchers shared their recent
research with counterparts in areas including image and video intelligence
analysis, automatic detection of heart sounds,modelling spatio-temporal pattern
of cropland change, Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and its applications, Topological
Dynamical System, nanostructured magnetic metal/alloy films and cobaltite
catalysts, determination of propranolol in animal derived food, rare
tetradecanuclear polyoxofluorovanadate cluster and physical adsorbents. In the
meantime, they also listened to their counterparts’ academic reports. While
staying in UTM, the delegates also visited UTM Arboretum, UTM Vivarium,
laboratories at Institute of Bioproduct Development and other research bases.
The delegation said that the idea of University—Industry Collaboration is highly
valued at UTM, enabling the tight connection between markets and products and
seamless integration between research and industries. Such a one-stop
marketlization and commercialization of research results worth learning.
In hopes of enhancing the level of cooperation and advancing research
collaboration, two parties had an in-depth discussion with respect to the
preparations for the 2018 Seminar and reached a consensus on exploring further
collaboration on research areas with mutual interests and foundation. Firstly, it is
proposed that researchers whose study focusing on analysis of big data at UTM Big
Data Center to connect with counterparts of School of Mathematics and Big Data
Science and School of Information Science and Technology, leading to the possible
collaboration on data algorithm and developing applications for big data platforms. Secondly, it is also suggested that HZU School of Chemistry and Materials
Engineering and School of Life Sciences to seek possible research collaboration with
researchers at UTM Institute of Bioproduct Development in fields of the
preparations, extraction and detection of herbal medicine. To do so, two parties
preliminarily agreed on conducting researchers exchange program, aiming to jointly develop applicable research results and apply for national or international research
grants.
International Seminar between Huizhou University and Universiti Teknologi
Malaysia, an annual basis seminar with alteration of host place, was initiated in
2016, serving as a platform for academic and research communication between
two universities. Participating in this year’s seminar has significant impact on
broadening HZU researchers’ international horizon and elevating research
capabilities, as well as promoting the further development of the University’s
science and engineering disciplines.
