In 2019, Tian was introduced to HNU as a leading talent in Hainan province. "I was attracted by HNU's determination to create world-class disciplines as well as Hainan Free Trade Port's preferential policies," Tian said.

Just half a year after entering HNU's State Key Laboratory of Marine Resource Utilization in the South China Sea, he was allowed to form his own team at the university and became the leader of the "Marine Clean Energy" innovation team due to his outstanding scientific research abilities and scientific research achievements.

At present, Tian's team has nine young teachers, four postdoctoral fellows, seven doctoral students, and 16 master's degree students. The team members utilize HNU as its communication unit and have published 35 SCI Top papers in global journals, including the first scientific paper in Hainan province.

The team has undertaken four projects for the National Natural Science Foundation of China and applied for 11 national invention patents.

"I believe that researchers in Hainan will have better development opportunities in the future," he said.
