Self-Introduction:
My name is Jie Lei. I am from Henan Province and a teacher at Chongqing University of Arts and Sciences. I am very honored to join Professor Zhu’s group as a visiting scholar for one year. I was deeply impressed by the group’s good learning atmosphere and rigorous research attitude. I believe I can learn more during the coming year. I cherish this opportunity and will try my best to contribute to the group.
