UIC vigorously promotes scientific research to improve education quality while encouraging students to embrace new academic aspects and enhance their research capabilities through subject research. As a result, plenty of undergraduate graduates of 2021 have published papers in international journals, academic monographs, and international conferences.

There must be innovations in a paper

Yan Yibo from the Environmental Science Programme has been admitted to an MSc in Computing at the National University of Singapore.

Yan Yibo

Yan Yibo published two conference papers during his undergraduate programme. He wrote the paper Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in the Pearl River: Is There A Potential Hazard to Local Human Health? as the first author. The paper was published at the 6th International Conference on Energy Materials and Environment Engineering (ICEMEE 2020).

Yan Yibo, together with peers in the same programme Liu Yipeng, He Zhonghao, Ye Jiyang, Zheng Yan, and Huang Ziqi, jointly completed the paper' Determination of median lethal concentration of two common heavy metal pollutants in rivers, potassium chromate and cadmium nitrate, to red zebrafish and their mortality causes'. The paper was published at international symposiums about green energy, the environment, and sustainable development.

Yan Yibo believes that a well-published paper must contain some innovations that genuinely help develop the research in the field. In the research process, he found himself highly interested in data mining and analysis. Therefore, he decided to study computer science, hoping to use his knowledge to solve more practical problems.
