Professor Guo Hang from our institute guided students to win the first prize in the 2024 China-Malaysia Youth Innovation Competition
On June 29th, the 2024 China-Malaysia Youth Innovation Competition, which is also the Malaysia division of the China International College Students' Innovation Competition, concluded with the project "Temperature-sensitive Neurons Based on Semiconductor Ceramic Material Technology," led by Wan Linyi, an electrical engineering student from Xiamen University Malaysia, winning the first prize in the "Undergraduate Creative Group" category. This achievement marks the highest honor in the competition, with Professor Guo Hang from our institute serving as the project's mentor.

The continuous advancement of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the deepening cooperation between China and Southeast Asia, particularly between China and Malaysia, have garnered significant attention for this competition. On April 25th, the launch ceremony for the 2024 China-Malaysia Youth Innovation Competition, the Malaysia division of the China International College Students' Innovation Competition, and the "Chunhui Cup" competition's Malaysia division took place at Xiamen University Malaysia. Distinguished guests in attendance included Huai Jinpeng, Minister of Education of China, Ouyang Yujing, Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia, Mustafa, Deputy Minister of Higher Education of Malaysia, Yusof, Deputy Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation of Malaysia, Magid, President of the Malaysia-China Friendship Association, Zhang Rong, Director of the Xiamen University Board, and Wang Ruifang, Principal of Xiamen University Malaysia. After two months of intense competition, the event concluded on June 29th.
The project that participated in the competition is an application of MEMS technology in the field of micro-sensors. In recent years, Professor Guo Hang's research group has not only made continuous progress in the research of micro-thin film lithium-ion batteries but has also achieved significant advancements in the research and development of MEMS sensors, which is another major direction of the research group. Collaborating closely with leading enterprises in the development of MEMS thin-film thermal sensors, the group has delved deeply into materials, microelectronics, and MEMS fabrication processes, as well as packaging, achieving important breakthroughs. They strive to launch high-performance new products and remain at the forefront of the field.
