Wu FeiYang, class of 2025 in Computer Engineering of ZJUI, with his outstanding performance, he has received several academic honors, including the National Scholarship and the Provincial Government Scholarship. He has actively participated in multiple national-level academic competitions, earning distinctions such as the Gold Award at China College Students “Internet+”Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition in 2022. He actively engaged in social practice and was always eager to help others. Now, he has secured admission offers from world-renowned universities, including Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, UC San Diego, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Carnegie Mellon University. He is set to pursue further studies at Harvard University.

When Wu Feiyang first arrived at ZJUI, he was met with the challenges of full-English instruction, a fast-paced academic environment, and rigorous coursework. Instead of being discouraged by early setbacks, he chose to persevere, adopting a hands-on learning approach to master each subject. His determination was especially evident in the Operating Systems lab, where he worked tirelessly — even during holidays — to debug and refine his self-developed kernel. This process not only strengthened his technical skills but also allowed him to fully adapt to the demands of university-level study.

Throughout his undergraduate years, Wu actively engaged in practice and innovation. He participated in system control projects, joined Zhejiang University’s Student Research Training Program (SRTP) focusing on multimodal analysis, co-authored a paper published at CVPR, and contributed to the release of open-source tools and datasets. Beyond research, Wu demonstrated strong leadership as captain of the ZJUI RoboMaster team, guiding the team through complex technical challenges to earn Second Prize at the 2023 RoboMaster University League (Shanghai Division), and successfully concluding his four-year RoboMaster journey in 2024.

In addition to his academic and technical pursuits, Wu embraced interdisciplinary competitions, such as the China College Students International “Internet+” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, and broadened his global perspective through Model United Nations activities, where he earned the Best Debater Award. Outside the classroom, he actively participated in community service initiatives, demonstrating a strong commitment to both personal development and social responsibility — embodying the well-rounded spirit of a ZJUI student.
