Professor Ping Cui takes on new role as Director of Ningbo Yongjiang Laboratory

1 June: Professor Ping Cui, Associate Provost of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), has officially taken on the role of Director at Ningbo Yongjiang Laboratory, leading the laboratory to work on international cutting-edge technologies, integrating innovative industry chains in Zhejiang, and pushing forward high-quality development of local industries.

"I would like to express my deep gratitude to Professor Cui for her outstanding contributions to UNNC,” said Professor Nick Miles, UNNC Provost. “I am pleased that she is taking up the government appointment as the Director of Ningbo Yongjiang Laboratory. She will retain her position at UNNC, supporting and building strategic relations with government."

In 2017, Professor Cui joined UNNC as the Associate Provost, responsible for University’s research and knowledge exchange, strategic planning, innovation and development. She also serves as Li Dak Sum Chair Professor in Advanced Materials, leading education and research innovation in that area.

Over the past four years, Professor Cui has dedicated herself to improving the scientific research and social service capabilities of UNNC, based on its global resource advantages, focusing on local strategic demands. She and her team have successfully built on University’s reputation and enhanced the influence of UNNC at home and abroad by promoting technology transfer, entrepreneurship, talent cultivation, and business incubation.

Last week, the launch ceremony for the Nottingham Ningbo China Beacons of Excellence Research and Innovation Institute was held in the Ningbo National Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone. As one of the founders, Professor Cui has promoted and witnessed its development and is committed to constructing it as a bridge to connect local and international industrial, scientific and technological resources.

“I am very proud of the achievements I have made at UNNC, especially the establishment of the China Beacons Institute.”

Looking forward to her new role, Professor Cui said: "Yongjiang Laboratory is the largest talent cultivation project in Ningbo. I feel a deep sense of responsibility. Despite this new mission, I will always be a member of UNNC."

In the future, Professor Cui will retain her position as Associate Provost at UNNC, supporting strategic development of the University and promoting integration of University research and local industry development.
