Dialogue with Croucher Innovation Awardee, Prof Wang YAO

Dialogues between Croucher Innovation Awardees & RPg students

The Graduate School is pleased to offer opportunities for informal interactions between RPg students and Croucher Innovation Awardees, which aim at contributing to the development of critical questioning and thinking skills among RPg students in the emerging world of open innovation.  Through these exchanges, the Awardees will share their experience and insights in innovative research, which also echoes one of the 3 ‘I’ strategies of HKU – “internationalisation, innovation and interdisciplinarity”.

Here is the fourth session of the dialogue series:

May 19, 2017 (Friday), 12:45 pm to 1:45 pm, P501, Graduate House 

Professor Wang YAO
Recipient of the Croucher Innovation Award 2013

Professor Yao would like to share with the students how his current research interest in condensed matter physics has developed, which is not what he intended when attending graduate school; and how he has benefitted from a postdoc research experience in a different area from his PhD work.
