The new Bienvenue en France communication campaign gives voice to those who have chosen France for their higher education. Each portrait traces the student's journey from his or her country to France, within their establishment and until the completion of their professional goals. Twenty alumni volunteered to carry a simple message: "I chose to study in France, what about you?".

Wei is from China (Xinjiang), and he discovered he had a scientific mind early with experiences in chemistry. He unveiled a captivating world, and he became fascinated by French researchers. It was through an exchange program between the Tongji University in Shanghai and the University of Lille that this tireless scientist arrived in France.

After this successful experience, he chose to continue his Master course at the Ecole Centrale in Lille in partnership with the French Institute of Petroleum, and to do a thesis in partnership with the ENS of Lyon. Wei eventually left chemistry to work in physics, and more precisely in solar power: an additional challenge he addresses brilliantly. In addition to his commitment to the development of sustainable energy solutions, Wei cultivates his love for modern art.
