From May to August 2026, Liu completed a three-month visiting research period at the University of Zaragoza (Spain), under the scientific supervision of Prof. Luis V. Casaló. During this period, he had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Sofía Blanco Moreno, met at the RESER 2025 Conference in Rome. Our collaboration was particularly valuable for developing the quantitative and computational aspects of my doctoral research, and we are now planning to further develop this work into a joint scientific publication. I have also had the pleasure of presenting my research at the 34th RESER International Conference in Espoo, Finland (2024), and the 35th RESER International Conference in Rome, Italy (2025).
