Overview
Our team is made up of 20 memebers including the two that had been retired. We are assigned to different kinds of work according to our interests and merits and each of us makes special contributions to our team.
Mixiao Gui , the leader of Shenzhen_SFLS team, is responsible for managing the team and instructing team members to design and implement the project. She is also in charge of contacting with professors and seniors for us, finding labs and supervising the progress of all the project.
Suxuan Wang, the vice leader of Shenzhen_SFLS team, is responsible for managing the team and holding the public activity and investigation.
Our team
Our team is divided into four groups : the theoretical experimental group, the social research group, the modeling group and the website design group.
The Theoretical Experimental Group
This group includes :
Mixiao Gui, Yuheng Dai ,Yiting Xiang ,Yue Chen , Runqi Zhu ,Yingxuan Tan, Shuanghua Lai ,Lan Shen, Yuhao Wan and Jing Feng(retired).
These members are responsible for constructing the project theory and the experiments.
The Social Research Group
This group includes :
Suxuan Wang, Jingtong Huang, Qinni Zhang, Ziqi Zheng, Xuelan Li, Fang Li and Yaduo Zhang (retired).
