President Sha Aimin introduced the academic research of the school in the field of wind engineering. He pointed out that since Professor Yukio Tamura was hired as an adjunct professor in our school in 2010, he has carried out extensive cooperation with relevant research teams of our school and achieved remarkable results, especially for the construction and development of our wind tunnel laboratory. He said that the key research areas of the two sides are similar and the cooperation foundation is solid. President Sha Aimin hoped that through the cooperation with Professor Yukio Tamura, we could promote cooperation and exchanges between the research teams of two or more parties and establish a long-term and stable cooperation mechanism to lay a solid foundation for the two sides to carry out wide-ranging and in-depth cooperation.
Professor Yukio Tamura expressed his sincere gratitude to the warm reception of our school and expressed appreciation for the outstanding contribution made by our school in the field of infrastructure construction and local economic and social development. He briefly introduced his work experience, research fields and the basic situation of cooperation and exchange with Chinese university research teams. He pointed out that Chang'an University is located in Xi'an, a world-famous cultural city. It is a high-level university with profound connotations, distinctive features and outstanding academic advantages. The strength of research teams is strong. The research level in the field of wind engineering has been at the forefront of the world, and he is very willing to strengthen the cooperation between the two sides. He hopes that based on the original cooperation, he will jointly explore cooperation and exchanges in more fields and promote a more stable and closer cooperative relationship.
