Oxygenated organic compounds (OOC), represented by alcohols, carbonyls, and their derivatives, are ubiquitous in both synthetic realm and natural molecules. Therefore, the study of OOC serves as an ideal platform to further investigate the tie between Chemistry and Nature. During the past 5 years, we have revealed various toxicological effects of -OH functional group both in vivo and in vitro using polyethylene as the platform. In addition, we have developed a series of more sustainable synthetic methodologies for OOCs that minimize the environmental impact on nature and the society. The interdisciplinary study was aiming to further advance the development of green chemistry and strengthen the tie between the environment and the society.

Dr. Mingxin Liu was born on Oct. 1989. His B.Sc. thesis was fulfilled from Tsinghua University with Prof. Yongge Wei and Prof. Lei Liu. He then finished his PhD at McGill University supervised by Prof. Chao-Jun Li. After finishing his PhD he completed his postdoctoral study with Prof. Zetian Mi from the University of Michigan. He began his independent career as a full professor at Lanzhou University by the end of 2020. His research interest is the application of 'green' reagents in synthetic methodology and their sustainable application in Chemical Biology.

2025 9th International Conference on Education and Information Technologies

May 23-25, 2025

This keynote address explores the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming education, with a particular emphasis on advancing global citizenship. Drawing on insights from recent empirical research, it demonstrates how AI-powered technologies can enhance learning experiences and foster intercultural competencies. In an era of growing global interconnectedness, nurturing global citizenship has become imperative. To meet this need, we designed immersive learning environments where students from China and various other countries engaged in dynamic exchanges. These activities encouraged participants to share cultural knowledge and perspectives on global citizenship, enriching their appreciation of diverse viewpoints. AI technologies served as integral components of these environments. They supported learners by enhancing their understanding of course materials, delivering accurate and timely answers to queries, and providing reliable guidance throughout the learning process. These tools also proved instrumental in fostering cross-cultural understanding, improving communication skills, and enabling students to collaborate effectively with peers from different cultural contexts, even when communicating in their native languages. This speech highlights the transformative impact of AI on educational practices and offers practical strategies for educators and researchers aiming to embed AI tools into global citizenship education initiatives.

Dr. Shadiev Rustam Narzikulovich is currently a tenured professor at the College of Education, Zhejiang University (China), specializing in advanced learning technologies for language learning and cross-cultural education. He earned his Ph.D. in Network Learning Technology from Taiwan Central University (China) in 2012. He is a Fellow of the British Computer Society, a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). In 2019, he was honored with the title of Distinguished Professor of Jiangsu Province (China).
