The fourth Annual FoSE PGR Research Showcase in Faculty of Science and Engineering (FoSE) was successfully held in Multifunction Rooms in the Library on 10 June 2022. This event was hosted by the FoSE PGR Director, Dr Nicholas Hamm. In the opening session, the Vice Provost and Dean of FoSE Professor Tao Wu and the Associate Dean for RKE Professor Giampaolo Buticchi delivered welcome speeches. Professor Dave Towey, Professor in Computer Science, Min Rose, Director of Knowledge Exchange in RKE Office and Dr William Lu, CEO of SPARK Venture China delivered the plenary talks.

There were 148 posters from 11 FoSE Research Groups exhibited in the Research Showcase, where the participating PhD students communicated with the academics and students about their research progress and outcomes. Students who were unable to participate in this event onsite due to Covid-19 restrictions gave their presentations through short videos to showcase their research to the audience. As well as this, an online presentation session was also held, with students outside Ningbo giving presentations about their research and communicating with the audience onsite.
