Welcome to the Zhenyu’s Project Proposal Webpage Remark: please be aware that some of the following proposals are from some previous years. They are collected here so as to give you some inspirations to help define new project(s). Thereby you are welcome to approach me for further discussion before a final project, which suitable for your interests and corresponding semesters, can be formulated. Moreover, by clicking on pictures on the left side of this page, you can find some examples of our previous projects.
