Why did you apply for the Master of Land and Water Systems?
I applied for this program because, during my undergraduate study of water treatment engineering, I found it was far from enough to deal with comprehensive environmental issues. Two years ago, as I participated in a program about applying wastewater sludge to urban landscape，I realized my ignorance of soil science and the interactions with water in environments. So I consider this program as a supplement to help me retain more knowledge of the water cycle as well as other natural factors, furthermore，to be more specialized in treating sewage.
What are you most excited about learning in the MLWS program?
I’m most excited to learn about using scientific and engineering methods to do environmental restoration in a beautiful way.
What are some of your favourite hobbies?
I don’t have much experience with outdoor activities, but I have a great interest in hiking and camping. And I also like to learn make-up skills and hip-hop to relax，yet I am not very good at both.
