Dr. Jianqun Huang, the manager of Shanghai division of GE Global R&D Centre visited the Department of Optical Engineering in the morning of May 27th. Dr. Huang gave a report about the solar cell market & future and GE’s research progress in it. After the report, he introduced the enterprise’s culture and the training mode in GE which especially attracted lots of eyeballs. Those were valuable information for our future career plan. After that, Mr. Qiuqiang Zhan (PhD student) introduced our research work in solar cells and Dr. Huang gave us some advice to our future work.
The visit is held by the Center for Optical and Electromagnetic Research (COER) Solar Energy Harvest (SEH) group. As an important event of SEH, it also attracted a lot of teachers and students besides SEH members.
Before Dr. Huang’s visit, eight members leading by Dr. Yanxia Cui, the leader of SEH visited the GE China Technology Park in Zhangjiang (Shanghai) High-Tech Park in the afternoon of May 26th. Dr. Huang and Engineer Xin showed them around the lab and environment of the company. They also discussed about study, work and research experience deeply with SEH members. This visit had given us an impression of the differences of research in university and enterprise as well as the humanistic concern and strict work spirit in GE. This mode mixes right and obligation, pay and harvest together very well. GE encourages employees’ enthusiasm, respects employees’ career planning, cares for employees and provides them a fine study platform.
