Miao Lu was one of the participants in our Student Exchange 2023 call, under the supervision of Pieter Uyttenhove. The research focused on "Unfinished Modernization," with a specific emphasis on the Oceanwide Center in SoMa (South of Market, San Francisco). She would love to share her experience with you!
"My time at the University of California, Berkeley, has been an enlightening and transformative journey. The university's vast libraries and archives have been indispensable, enriching my academic pursuits beyond measure. Engaging closely with esteemed professors has fostered remarkable collaborations, pushing the boundaries of my understanding and expanding my horizons. Beyond academics, the unique culture of Berkeley has broadened my thoughts and given me fresh perspectives. The delightful weather combined with the astonishing views California offers has only added to the richness of my experience. The serenity of the landscapes, paired with Berkeley's dynamic energy, has been the perfect backdrop to this incredible experience. I firmly believe that this short-stay research program funded by SIP is a great opportunity, profoundly impacting one's intellectual and personal growth."
