Academician Yu Dapeng was appointed Shenzhen Talent Ambassador, and Mayor Chen Rugui presented him with a letter of appointment.

As part of the formalities, Turing Award winner and Academician Joseph Sifakis had the Sifakis Research Institute of Trustworthy Independent Software (RITAS) approved by SUSTech and the city of Shenzhen. Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Weizhong presented Distinguished Professor Joseph Sifakis with the plate.

SUSTech has always paid enormous attention to the introduction, training, and cultivation of talented individuals on its campus. Its award-winning approach is a reflection of the outstanding achievements SUSTech has made in this area, with SUSTech winning its first “Talent Bole Award” in 2016, and continuing to win every year since.

With a faculty containing numerous academicians, fellows, and recipients of talent programs at all levels, SUSTech continues to innovate in the development of its talent pipeline as it strives to become a world-class university rooted in China.
