"China's innovation trend is more energetic than most European countries" -the British professor of British University of Tianjin University Peter Taylor

Because of yearning, they came to China; because of their dreams, they chose to stay. When foreigners "meet China", what kind of sparks will they collide? Global Information Broadcasting in 2022 specially planned "Meeting China" and listened to the "dialogue" of foreign friends and China.

Professor Peter Taylor from the UK has taught in many well -known colleges in Europe. After a few years in China, he sincerely sighed that China is more energetic than most European countries in innovation and entrepreneurship. What does China look like in Taylor's eyes? What experience and feelings do he have for China's international scientific and technological cooperation?

Professor Peter Taylor's blessing to Tianjin University graduates

August 4th is the Qixi Festival in China. After a busy work, Peter Taylor, a foreign professor at Tianjin University, came to a cafe near the university to dine. The peak of get off work coincides with the festival, and most of the positions here have been scheduled. After a while, the waiter told Taylor that he could move him out of the bar downstairs. As the night arrived, the restaurant became more and more lively. People who did not know each other sometimes touched the glass and talked sometimes. In Taylor's eyes, this is a portrait living in the city of Tianjin: friendly and peaceful.

Peter Taylor: "I have to say that I like Tianjin very much. The city is beautiful, there are many green spaces, and the people here are also very friendly. Moreover, I can buy everything I need near my house. Convenient. I feel very comfortable to live here. "

The convenience and comfort of life are inseparable from the high -quality development of Chinese cities. As a "foreigner" who has lived in China for many years and has been to many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Qingdao, Taylor feels that the most impressive is China's infrastructure construction. He said that a subway was built in front of his house, which is the best example of "Chinese speed".

Peter Taylor: "London spent 112 years to build a subway. Although the underground in the center of London may be more complicated, you look at Tianjin. Even in the context of the epidemic prevention and control, the construction of the subway construction project is still under the plan. Promoting in an orderly manner. You know, this subway line in Tianjin started in 2020 and will be completed next year in 2023. Its length is 3 times the length of the London subway, but the engineering cycle only needs to build a quarter of the subway in London to build subways. One. This is so impressive! "

China's development and changes in Taylor's eyes are more reflected in the increasingly widespread and in -depth international cooperation exchanges between China and the world. Five years ago, Taylor came to the School of Drug Science and Technology, Tianjin University through an international cooperation project about the supercomputer. In this college, foreign teachers from all over the world account for about 30%of the total number of teachers.

Peter Taylor: "If you go to see the international scientific literature, you will find that many of them are from Chinese scientific research institutions, and many cooperation from Chinese scientific research institutions and other countries. The way method is also very interested. Most of my studies have cooperated with Chinese colleagues; You can also use English with files, which is a good news for researchers from abroad. "

At present, the main direction of Taylor's research is the development, deployment and application of theoretical and computing chemistry and high -end computing technology. One of the most important tools engaged in this research is a super computer. Taylor said that the rapid development of supercomputing in China will support technological research and innovation in major scientific fields in China.

Peter Taylor: "I am honored that before I came, the laboratory's super computer system had begun to run for almost a year. During this time when I came here, our experiments also received a large number of new instruments The performance is very good and the equipment is very complete. Moreover, this is not unique to my Tianjin University. I think the development of the Chinese science and technology industry has made great progress, especially the computer industry, (surrounding supporting) instruments and equipment Also improved a lot. "

Because of the increasingly advanced scientific research facilities and professional and efficient cooperation teams, Taylor feels that China's scientific research environment is getting better and better. Before teaching in China, he taught in a well -known college in many European countries, which also gave him stronger and more intuitive contrast and feelings.

Peter Taylor: "In my opinion, compared with other countries, China's innovation trend is more energetic than most European countries. With the continuous development of China, we will see more and more closely combined with industry -university -research research. Cases that complement each other. With the continuous deepening of the scientific research of colleges and universities, different types of research such as medical care and engineering construction will contribute to China's production and life. "

Professor Peter Taylor and his students

For many years in China, Taylor has been to many cities. Although in recent times, he suspended the pace of traveling and traveling in accordance with the requirements of the epidemic prevention and control, but he believes that the significant results of this "people first" and "life first" prevention policy are obvious to all in the world.

Peter Taylor: "Compared with other countries, the number of people in China and the number of deaths in China is well controlled, which is undoubtedly vaccinated; my students and colleagues have vaccinated. When we know that foreign teachers can also vaccinate free vaccine for freeAt the moment, we immediately vaccinated. I think this is an important thing; (in addition,) as long as the notification in advance, the entire community or the entire city can be detected by nucleic acid.Where there is the ability to do these things, this is very amazing. "Taylor said that he enjoyed his work and life in China.The research group of his own research team has achieved small results and go to nearby water parks in his spare time.He expects that as the epidemic situation slows down, he can have more opportunities to appreciate the local customs and customs from all over China, and also hopes that his scientific achievements can benefit the world more.
