The Ph.D. in Finance program has been cultivating world-class financial talent since 1987. The program consists of doctoral candidates recruited by Tsinghua University as well as those co-supervised by the Research Institute of Finance and Banking at the People’s Bank of China. All doctoral graduates are awarded the degree and diploma of Ph.D. in Applied Economics conferred by the University. Co-supervised doctorates can obtain a diploma from the Research Institute in addition to the Tsinghua degree and diploma.

Students admitted to the Ph.D. program will normally be expected to spend three to four years of full-time or part-time study at the School, but direct-doctoral track students are expected to spend four to five years finishing their doctoral study. The program endows candidates with a strong and comprehensive theoretical grounding in, and an in-depth understanding of, global financial systems. The doctoral graduates will be able to conduct internationally relevant research with both academic and practical value, and utilize their expertise to generate solutions to industry challenges.

Doctoral education focuses on training talents, with an emphasis on theoretical depth and innovation abilities. The IE Department supports students to participate in international joint training and international exchange activities to broaden their international horizon and encourages students to participate in the social practice of universities or national key scientific research institutes during the study period.

The doctoral degree program usually lasts 3 to 5 years. Students with Master’s degree usually spend 3 to 4 years, and students without Master’s degree spend 4 to 5 years. The programs have 25 and 32 degree credits respectively. Students without an IE related Master’s degree shall take prerequisite courses suggested by the supervisor.

2. Dissertation Requirement

Upon completion of all course work, students must take both a written and an oral Qualifying Examination to evaluate their level of fundamental knowledge, cutting edge research, and ability of innovation and research. Students can begin dissertation research after finishing the core major courses study. Students should write a doctoral dissertation under the instruction of a knowledgeable faculty member of the department. The dissertation must show remarkable research achievement in a particular discipline. A written proposal with literature review is supposed to be approved by the supervisor before the thesis proposal oral defense is made.

The dissertation oral defense committee is required to consist of at least three faculty members who have the qualification to instruct doctor students. The student can go on dissertation writing according to the proposal report after passing the oral defense. To be noted, the proposal defense must be completed at least a whole academic year before the final defense application.

For the final thesis defense, there will be a defense committee consisting of at least five committee members, at least one of whom should come from the degree committee at the school level. Besides, another faculty member will be appointed as the secretary of the defense committee. Some doctors’ dissertations will be anonymously reviewed by scholars of other universities before the final oral defense. Only after passing the anonymous review can one student apply for the final defense. One week before the final oral defense, review comments from the supervisor as well as the application form must be submitted to the defense secretary to get approved by the department as well as the degree committee at the school level.

The final oral defense is open to all interested students and faculty members. Usually the candidate presents a 30 to 40 minute presentation on the thesis research, followed by a session in which members of the defense committee ask questions about the work. Every committee member votes anonymously and gives a grade for the final oral defense. Students receive a pass for the final oral examination if over two thirds of the defense committee members agree. After the student has received an accepted grade for the final oral defense, the degree committee at the school as well as the university level will review all related documents and make a decision on degree awarding.

Except for the degree dissertation, Tsinghua University requires students to publish scientific papers. Students of this program have to publish at least one paper in top-tier International journals or two other papers indexed by Science Citation Index (SCI) or Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Students are also required to present their research every semester, to attend 30 seminars, and to present once at a national or international conference.

Neurosciences Seminar: Junjie Yao - From Light to Sound: Breaking the limits in photoacoustic imaging and bioprinting

Join the speaker for coffee, cookies, and conversation before the talk, starting at 11:45am.

From Light to Sound:  Breaking the Limits in Photoacoustic Imaging and Bioprinting

Abstract 

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has become an increasingly popular technique for multi-scale anatomical, functional, and molecular imaging by acoustically detecting the optical absorption contrast in biological tissues. I will focus on several technological advancements in PAI that have enabled a broad range of biomedical applications in life sciences. First, PAI has overcome the penetration limit by utilizing separated light delivery and ultrasound detection, allowing for deep-tissue imaging at clinically relevant depths in large animal models and potentially humans. Second, innovative scanning technologies and deep-learning models have significantly accelerated microscopic PAI by 1000-times with a large field of view. This speed-up facilitates the monitoring of highly dynamic or motion-prone processes, such as functional brain activities, placenta development, and glassfrog transparency. Third, using novel fabrication technologies in optics, acoustics, and electronics, we have developed handheld, wearable, and head-mounted PAI devices that offers high throughput, flexibility and accessibility, providing real-time feedback in awake or free-moving animals and humans. Lastly, by incorporating genetically-encoded photoacoustic probes with photoswitching capability, we have improved the detection sensitivity and specificity of molecular PAI by more than 1000 times, enabling highly-reliable imaging of malignant cancer, tissue hypoxia, and neuronal activities. Meanwhile, we have recently developed a deep-penetration ultrasound volumetric printing technology, overcoming the penetration limit of light-induced cross-linking, allowing for through-tissue construction of complex 3D structures inside the heart, liver, and bone. 

Keywords: Photoacoustic imaging, deep imaging, high-speed imaging, molecular imaging, bioprinting, focused ultrasound

Short summary: Enabling technological advancements in photoacoustic imaging and bioprinting allow for a broad range of applications in life sciences and clinical practice.
