Postgraduate Research Officer

Hey everyone! I'm Wenlin Xiong (friends call me Alina), your new Postgraduate Research Officer. I'm currently in my final year at Coventry University, where my research focuses on how AI technology drives strategic innovation in private enterprises.

Here are 3 key points from my manifesto that I will be working on:

Strengthening communication:
I am passionate about working on building effective communication channels to support conversations between students. The aim is to provide space for sharing advice, feedback, and useful information, while also helping students connect with each other. At the same time, the university will be able to respond to questions and manage these exchanges in a structured way.
Wellbeing and learning environment:
A key focus for me will be improving mental health and wellbeing support. Currently, we do not have access to face-to-face counselling services, which I will strive to address during my term. I will also look for opportunities to secure university backing for sports and social activities. Alongside this, I will continue to work with feedback from various centres to ensure that our study and research resources are continually improved and fairly shared among students.
Career development and opportunities:
This year, I want to strengthen career support by improving access to career-related information, helping us grow our professional networks, and laying a stronger foundation for our future career development. I aim to make sure students feel equipped with the right tools and opportunities when thinking about life after university.
