Throughout her time in the SRTP project - Perceptual Comparison and Simulation of Real and Virtual Street Environments, Jiajun consistently demonstrated great qualities that differentiated her from other peers. She collected data efficiently, adopted interdisciplinary ideas effortlessly, designed and conducted experiments professionally, and made analysis using different tools accurately. While majoring in architecture, Jiajun delved into interdisciplinary areas including virtual reality, physiological research, and behavioral studies, and successfully completed research components that were quite different from her major. In 2023, this SRTP project has qualified to be a provincial-level student research project, which is only awarded to the top 10% projects and offered with approx. 1200 USD research fund. Its outcomes were selected to present at the 2023 Chinese Annual Academic Conference on Behavioral Geography (only two undergraduates’ projects were selected in its competitive peer-review process), and are go to be published in New Architecture (a top-three architectural academic journal in China) after three rounds of rigorous peer reviews. All these achievements not only highlighted Jiajun's outstanding research abilities but also revealed her significant potential for interdisciplinary study.

Jiajun's team player mindset showcased in the SRTP project is also impressive. She brought great value to the team with her positive attitude, willingness to undertake challenging tasks and commitment to shared goals. Working with students from different discipline like urban and rural planning, Jiajun demonstrated outstanding cross-team collaboration, giving full plays to her strong point.
