The Laboratory for Smart and Bioinspired Materials held a ten-year reunion, gathering past students to renew old friendships

On the evening of July 30, 2026, the ten-year graduation reunion of the Laboratory for Smart and Bioinspired Materials was held by the lake. The reunion was initiated and organized under the leadership of Jinchuan Wu, the laboratory's most senior fellow student, and graduates from past cohorts gathered with their families in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, filled with continuous laughter and joy.

Over the past ten years, batches of students have graduated from the laboratory and are now working in various fields such as research, education, and industry, continuing to practice the rigorous and realistic research spirit in their respective positions. This reunion was both a joyful gathering after long separation and a concentrated review of the laboratory's ten-year achievements in talent cultivation. At the gathering, teachers and students sat together and chatted freely, reviewing the laboratory's journey from its founding to its growth, sharing changes in work and insights on life after graduation. Many graduates also brought their children along, adding a warm, family-like atmosphere to the gathering.

At the end of the event, all faculty, students, and family members took a group photo by the lake to capture this precious moment. The teachers and students who attended expressed their gratitude to Jinchuan Wu for his careful organization and planning, which brought the long-separated members of the group back together. Everyone agreed that the laboratory is not only a place for study and scholarship, but also an unbreakable emotional bond on each other's life journey, and they hope to keep in touch and gather often in the future.
