Published:
In April 2024 I was the only undergraduate invited to speak among more than 40 scholars.

The occasion was the Top-notch Innovative Talent Joint Training Symposium at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School, held in Shenzhen on April 25, 2024. My talk was titled “Boundary-Breaking Growth, Belief-Driven Iteration: How Shenzhen X-Institute Shaped Me.”
I shared my journey with Shenzhen X-Institute, and how crossing boundaries, between disciplines and between what I thought I could do and what I actually tried, unlocked potential I did not know I had and shaped how I grew.
I was honored to be asked. An undergraduate rarely gets a seat at a table like that, let alone the microphone.
