In this second interview of ‘Diversity in STEM’, we speak to PhD student Lingfeng Ge. This interview series aims to highlight BAME experiences in academia in order to have more representation in the field of STEM.
Lingfeng Ge completed her BSc Chemistry at Xiamen University in China by Julia Riopelle, SciTech Editor at Epigram.

She then went on to complete two Masters abroad; an MSc in Chemistry at the University of Manchester and a joint Masters programme, ‘M2 Frontiers in Chemistry,’ between the University of Paris Descartes and University of Paris Diderot. Now Lingfeng is in the third and final year of her PhD at the University of Bristol, where she is researching photodissociation dynamics with coulomb explosion imaging. I had the pleasure of interviewing Lingfeng about her experiences as a Chinese woman in chemistry and the challenges she has faced whilst being abroad.

For our new Scitech series ‘Diversity in STEM’, we are highlighting the experiences, research and successes of people of colour at the University of Bristol. This interview series aims for current and prospective students to see more representation in the field of STEM sciences, so that they may be more encouraged to pursue a scientific field they may have not considered previously.
