Chen Xuanyu

HI! I'm Chen Xuanyu, a rising senior at Shanghai Foreign Language School. You can also call me Alicia, for both my English and Spanish names. From here it's not difficult to tell my zeal for liberal arts, in particular literature and linguistics. I've been self-teaching Spanish for almost 2 years and I constantly dive into the wonderful worlds of imagination and the immeasurable beauty of minds by randomly picking up a piece of poetry or simply glancing at lines of prose. I love to psych myself up by being on my own and getting along with myself only. But I'm an introvert with enormous extroversion, a soul of arts with an enthusiastic mind of science. That's why I'm here! I'm burst with vitality for the subject of biology, where both creativity and conscientiousness are emphasized. My heart for trying new things has near stopped and my desire for diving deeper has never ceased. Here burns the roaring fire of my passion. Moreover, I'm into swimming, volleyball, cycling, and everything that reminds me of the dynamism of my life. So don't forget to hit me up for any fun and beauty in life!

Wu Renjia

My name is Richard Wu Renjia. I perceive myself as an optimistic, diversified, and self-driven person. For optimism, when I encounter failure, I can always recover immediately, starting over once again with my best effort and attitude. For instance, when I was in junior high school, I wanted to move up to the highest level for English class; however, I got rejected for three years, applying again and again. With an optimistic attitude, I kept trying, and eventually, after three years of struggling, I fulfilled my goal. For a diversified personality, I refer to my spirit of trying and having multiple hobbies. Whenever I encounter new activities or subjects, I'll give them a try, no matter whether I am good at them. In my academic study, I'll look up everything I am not familiar with in fields like quantum physics, statistics, artificial intelligence, extra, even though I study biology and chemistry only. I have a lot of hobbies, namely video making, effects making, electronic music making, piano playing, and fencing combat. For my daily recreation, I love watching Japanese animation and practicing my hobblies. For watching Japanese animation, I love Darling in the Franxx; it has always been on my top 0 list. I'll even watch this animation several times. For practicing my hobbies, learning effects-making and music-making strategies is always satisfying to me.

I thoroughly enjoy applying the knowledge I have learned in the laboratory to transform imagination to reality. I like to think objectively and rationally, particularly using critical thinking and analysis to solve problems. At the same time, I am a curious person who enjoys exploring the unknown. I have a wide range of hobbies, including playing the piano, guqin (a traditional Chinese musical instrument), tennis, golf, horseback riding, and reading. These hobbies not only help me broaden my horizons and expand my perspective, but also help me develop the right outlook on life and values, enabling me to maintain a positive attitude in my daily studies and everyday life.

To be honest, I think other team members have more understanding and exploration of biology than I do. But I will not feel inferior due to this. On the contrary, I can converse with them to gain rich experience. I consider that this experience not only taught me various methods of experimentation, but also provided me with more opportunities to communicate with different peer.

Zhao Ruiqi

I am Zhao Ruiqi, and Hefei No.1 High school is my Alma Mater. I have been interested in science and Computer engineering since I was young. When it comes to science, biological sciences are naturally an important part of it, and iGEM allows me to enter the laboratory to learn about such a fundamental science. In addition, in iGEM competitions, I can also use computers in many ways, such as writing Program Wikis, to improve my computer skills. So I chose to participate in the iGEM competition. Besides academic topics, I also enjoy reading very much; In particular, China and Human history and human geography fascinate me deeply. For me, these culturally rich content has a unique charm, and I hope to enjoy the fun of reading while cultivating my personality and enhancing my understanding.

Ye Ziqing

Hello! My name is Ye Ziqing, and Kelsey is my English name. Since I was young, living organisms in the wonderful natural world have captivated me with the way they interact. This fascination has led me to pursue a future career in the biology field. Currently, I am a Grade 11 student from CBC Hefei No.1 Secondary School. Throughout my academic journey, I have passionately delved into various aspects of biology, ranging from molecular biology to ecology. Beyond the classroom, I engage in extracurricular activities related to biology actively. It is my honor to participate in this competition and meet such talented teammates like this. IGEM competition provides an opportunity for me to work in a laboratory setting and gain practical experience with biological experiments.

I am looking forward to knowing my teammates better, learning from each other, and contributing to our team's success in the iGEM competition together.

Su Yiheng

I'm Su(last name) Yiheng(first name), a tenth-grade student from Xiamen, China. Right now I'm attending IGEM, mainly tasked with experimenting in the laboratory, learning about genetic engineering and diabetes in the process. To be honest, when it comes to actual knowledge about biology, I'm definitely the nobody in the team. One hobby of mine, which is almost the only one, is playing video games. I've never attended any biology competitions or learned about biology after class, while this is the very first time for me to join such an activity. Surely I don't have any experience, yet I'm expecting a lot from the activity. That's simply because that I'm interested in, or, admired biology, even the entire "science". I do know that science is the most powerful thing that have ever improved the strength of mankind. Besides, science always aims for the truth, meaning that it will never decieve anyone. Thus, I felt it necessary to have a look at what should we do while researching. Though I do not know any technical details about our subject, I understand that any researcher need to stay rational and judge everything objectively. I believe this is the most essential part, and it made me at least possible to make a difference in biology.

In terms of the competition, this is my first time to participate in a long term competition related to biology, and I am over the moon to come to Shanghai to complete this project with the iGEM team members. I would enter this competition because I am interested in some of the business campaigns we have. I usually do a lot of similar things in my school clubs. Examples include designing and distributing surveys, designing craft products and marketing them to other people. In any case, we don't face a large group of people. On the contrary, iGEM's audience is much wider, which allows excellent products to be seen and used by more people. This point deeply attracted me to participate in this competition.
