For Jie Wang \u2014 who\u2019s just landed a prestigious trip to the <a href=\"https:\/\/gyss.nrf.gov.sg\/\">Global Young Scientists Summit<\/a> in Singapore \u2014 the fact that it\u2019s in the country that a certain timelord likes to call home was a deciding factor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jie Wang, a PhD student in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.manchester.ac.uk\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.cs.manchester.ac.uk\/\">Department of Computer Engineering<\/a>, has recently been successful in securing a place at the prestigious <a href=\"https:\/\/gyss.nrf.gov.sg\/\" id=\"https:\/\/gyss.nrf.gov.sg\/\">Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS)<\/a>, to be held in Singapore in January 2024. We caught up with her to talk about that, as well as her life in general and her educational journey. And, of course, Doctor Who\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jie was born in North Korea but grew up in China from the age of six. She had a desire to continue her higher education abroad and was torn between studying in the USA or the UK. It may not have been the main factor, but one of the reasons she chose the UK was, indeed, Doctor Who. She was a huge fan of the programme growing up and said that although she hasn\u2019t met her Doctor yet, there\u2019s still time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/01\/JieProvidedPortrait.jpg\" alt=\"Jie Wang\" class=\"wp-image-5559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/01\/JieProvidedPortrait.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/01\/JieProvidedPortrait-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jie originally studied at the University of Warwick, completing a foundation year before moving to Manchester. She was struck by the reputation of both the city and The University, and after attending an open day, there was nowhere else she wanted to be. After completing a BSc in Electronic Engineering, she was hoping to move directly to PhD study. However, she had some very sad news from home and her plans were thrown into disarray as she needed to return to China. She was extremely grateful for the support she got from the Department, and after graduating three months late, she was advised to study an MPhil in order to prepare herself for the PhD funding round. And that\u2019s how she ended up where she is now \u2014 studying a fully-funded PhD in Cardiovascular Simulation using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masc.manchester.ac.uk\/research\/#d.en.1017143\" id=\"https:\/\/www.masc.manchester.ac.uk\/research\/#d.en.1017143\">computational fluid dynamics<\/a>. She hopes to submit her thesis in summer 2024, and so hopefully graduate in roughly a year\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how did the invitation to the GYSS come about? In Jie\u2019s words, \u201cA couple of emails had been circulated about the Summit and I didn\u2019t pay much attention. But one day I was in a podcast, which encouraged you to try any opportunities that come to you. So I took an hour to just open the email and fill in the application. I didn\u2019t expect I would be selected because they only pick two people out of the entire University, and the board of the Summit also need to make a secondary decision about if you are coming or not. So it was quite a rough journey, but luckily I got in!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of funding, The University helps by proving a grant for travelling expenses, and food and accommodation are paid for by the Summit. Amongst a group of world-renowned scientists, there will also be nine Nobel prize winners in attendance \u2014 including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.graphene.manchester.ac.uk\/learn\/discovery-of-graphene\/\">Sir Konstantin Novoselov<\/a> \u2014 and a packed programme of lectures, panel discussions and workshop. Jie has been lucky enough to be selected to present at a poster session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jie is also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.se.manchester.ac.uk\/doctoral-academy\/community\/ambassadors\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.se.manchester.ac.uk\/doctoral-academy\/community\/ambassadors\/\">PGR ambassador<\/a> and works hard to ensure that PhD students\u2019 lives are made more enjoyable, organising social events, parties and meals out, with the help of partial funding from The University, \u201cI feel myself I belong to The University of Manchester, so I feel there\u2019s a part responsibility on me to show the welcome to other new people over here. I\u2019m also going to host a house party in two weeks to just celebrate the pre-Christmas before everybody flies away back to home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/01\/JieProvidedBanner.jpg\" alt=\"Jie Wang leaning against a display in the foyer of the MECD building\" class=\"wp-image-5564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/01\/JieProvidedBanner.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/01\/JieProvidedBanner-197x300.jpg 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Away from her study, Jie enjoys baking, which she considers almost a spiritual process: \u201cDuring the weekend I just get up and go to the kitchen and do whatever I can think of \u2014 just to bake the cake or biscuits, something like that, to give myself peace, like it\u2019s kind of a meditation process for me.\u201d And for contrast, she relieves the stress of her study by less meditative pursuits: \u201cOne of things is as a PhD you got lots of stress all the time; it\u2019s like a stress marathon! So what I like to do, is doing something punchy \u2014 boxing, for example; I picture my research over the punching bag and just do some punching and kicking, to help me out!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, what are Jie\u2019s thoughts about Manchester? Let\u2019s leave her with the final word: \u201cYou won\u2019t regret it if you come to Manchester. This is the place that will give you the opportunity to fulfil yourself. If you work hard, there\u2019s tons of help you can find in this place, and this can be the platform to deliver you to somewhere even bigger in the future. So, I want to encourage people, just do what you can do, try your best, and don\u2019t be afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.se.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-research\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.se.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-research\/\">PhDs in Science and Engineering<\/a> including details of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.se.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-research\/fees-and-funding\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.se.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-research\/fees-and-funding\/\">funding scholarships<\/a> and read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.se.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-research\/getting-started\/life-as-a-researcher\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.se.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-research\/getting-started\/life-as-a-researcher\/\">life as a postgraduate researcher in Manchester<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to the <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/fsemarketing-mcruni\/jie-wang-full-discussion\" id=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/fsemarketing-mcruni\/jie-wang-full-discussion\">full conversation with Jie<\/a>.
