    Summer is hot and lotus flowers are in full bloom. It is a beautiful time for graduation and new journey. In this June, our research group went to Xunliao Bay and Shuangyue Bay in Huizhou and held an unforgettable graduation trip. This activity aims to send off graduates Zhang Jiahong, Zhang Xiaobing and Ning Houchun, and also to enhance the feelings among the members of the research group, so that everyone can relax in the busy research life.

    On the first day, the sun was just right, the breeze was not dry, and the research group arrived at the picturesque Xunliao Bay. In the water sports, everyone put on a life jacket, leaving a string of laughter and sweat on the rippling sea. In the outdoor cross-country activities, everyone goes hand in hand, whether it is through the muddy road or the challenge of steep hills, the team members encourage each other and cooperate to escape the trap, and feel the wild charm of nature. Then board the yacht, swim in the vast sea for two hours, between the sea and the sky, enhance mutual understanding and trust. The night is low, the lights inside the villa of Double Moon Bay are warm, sparks jump on the grill, and the smell of food is full. During the meal, I had a pleasant conversation with the students, ranging from scientific research ideals to daily trifles, and sincerely wish every graduate a bright future and a boundless dream!

    "Tsinghua Ocean pride together, sail to the waves!" This is not only our slogan, but also my deep expectation for all students. I firmly believe that no matter where they go in the future, they will uphold the spirit of Tsinghua people and ride the waves.

    The BIM Standard System Review Meeting and BIM Technology Exchange meeting sponsored by Hong Kong Huayi Design Consulting (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was successfully held in Huayi Design.

    The meeting first reviewed the BIM standard system of Huayi Design. The system consists of three parts: "Building Information model infrastructure construction Standard", "Building Information model design Technical standard" and "Building information model Semantic dictionary standard", aiming at providing enterprises with digital design, collaboration and enabling infrastructure and technical guidance. As the leader of the review team, I presided over the standard review work.

    After the review, I carried out BIM technology exchange under the title of "From Data to Knowledge - Innovation and Development of Engineering Information Technology", focused on the acquisition, expression, storage, management, mining and application methods of engineering data in the construction field, and prospected the development trend of engineering management information technology. At the same time, it is emphasized that the combination of new generation information technologies such as ClM, digital twin and knowledge graph with BIM technology will provide a new way for the modernization and intelligent development of civil engineering.

    Note: Hong Kong Huayi Design Consulting (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was established in 1986, is a professional engaged in industrial and civil construction research, design technology development and application, all kinds of construction engineering survey and design business enterprises. The company has been committed to technology-supported product upgrades and technology research and development to support the digital transformation of the construction industry.

    From June 9 to 14, the 43rd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2024) was held in Singapore. Postdoctoral researcher Li Yihong and doctoral student Li Yilin attended the conference and made a special report.

    At that meeting, Yihong Li, a postdoctoral fellow, published a paper entitled Application of Hierarchical Analyst Domino Evaluation System(HADES) in Floating Offshore Wind Farm Operation Stage "keynote speech. This paper introduces the application research of HADES Domino risk quantitative assessment technique developed by him in floating wind farm operation and maintenance stage. The application scenarios of HADES technology are expanded, the characteristics of domino accidents in floating wind farms are revealed, and a new analytical model of collision probability between ships and floating wind turbines is introduced. Doctoral student Li Yilin delivered a keynote speech entitled "Offshore infrastructure Disaster Ontology Construction Based on Feature Engineering". This paper introduces the relevant achievements of establishing offshore infrastructure disaster ontology based on historical environmental data. As a disaster analysis framework, the ontology construction based on feature analysis describes the relationship between attributes and infrastructure disasters, providing support for in-depth understanding of the complex dynamic mechanism behind Marine disasters, so as to promote disaster management and risk prevention decisions. Their presentations were well received by the scholars present, and extensive discussions and exchanges were conducted on the academic content. This is the first time for members of our research group to attend this meeting, and we have learned a lot!

    Note: OMAE is an important annual conference in the field of ocean engineering and is the main platform to showcase the most cutting-edge innovations and technological achievements in the field of Marine, offshore and Arctic engineering internationally. The conference covered all areas of emerging ship and offshore technology development, exploring the latest research results from ocean engineering technology to Arctic science, from structural reliability to materials technology, from offshore wind energy to carbon capture and storage, and bringing together hundreds of experts and scholars from industry, academia and government.

    The children's science enlightenment picture book "Where Are the Elements: Me from the Stars", which I participated in writing, was officially published by Beijing Science and Technology Press. The book was also written by doctoral students Li Yilin and Guo Jinxiao.

    This book is carefully designed in content and form, making it a useful addition to science education for children. Through vivid narration and rich illustrations, children are guided to explore the world of elements in an enjoyable reading experience while learning relevant scientific knowledge. The original intention of this picture book is to introduce children to the impact of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge. By vividly showing the cycle of elements in nature and their inseparable link with Marine ecological health, the book subtly conveys the limitations of ocean purification capacity and the possible harm caused by radionuclides, in order to stimulate children's environmental awareness of protecting the ocean and caring for the earth, and cultivate the sense of responsibility and action of future citizens.

    Book purchase please identify the picture on the left applet.
