Message from International Student章 誠豫Shanghai Maritime University

CHINA

1.Why did you choose the Graduate School of Maritime Sciences, Kobe University?
I graduated from Shanghai Maritime University, majoring in Shipping and Marine Engineering, and I am interested inmy current instructor's research related to superconductors and liquid hydrogen. For further study, I chose to study atGraduate School of Maritime Sciences, Kobe University.
2.How do you feel after enrolling at Kobe University?
As one of the leading universities in Japan, I can get the latest knowledge I require for research at Kobe University. Meanwhile, the Japaneseand English immersion can also help me to develop my language skills, which will provide the foundation for me to work globally.
3.Please explain briefly what your research is.
My research topic is fundamental research on a helical liquid hydrogen flowmeters. The research is to design and make a prototype flowmeterand optimize its accuracy by means of software simulation and 3D printing technology. It is expected to lay the foundation for the liquid hydrogenmarine transportation project and the research of liquid hydrogen flowmeter.
4.Do you have opportunities for cultural exchange?
Yes, not only I can communicate with Japanese students in the research lab, but also the teaching associate members often announce
exchange events for international students.
5.What are your plans for after graduation?
I want to work in Japan and become an engineer who can work globally.
6.What was your biggest culture shock after coming to Japan?
When boarding an escalator, people in the Kanto region stand on the left side of the escalator and leave the right side open to allow others topass; people in the Kansai region stand on the right side and allow others to pass on the left side.
7.What are the appeal points of the Graduate School of Maritime Sciences for you?
The Fukae Campus, where the Marine Studies Course is located, is close to the ocean, so you can take a walk on the levees to relax andrejuvenate after researching.
8.Please give a message or advice to anyone who wishes to study abroad.
Once the decision is made, just do it. Studying abroad is a good opportunity to expand your horizons, see the world from a different perspective,and you will meet the bright future for yourself.
