On behalf of SUSTech, Zhao extended warm welcome to the experts and scholars present. New materials and energy science is a key technological field in the country’s “Thirteenth Five-Year” Plan, and SUSTech has attached great importance to and advanced relevant research projects, said him. He introduced SUSTech, expecting the experts and scholars to continue paying attention to and supporting the construction and development of SUSTech.

He Jiaqing introduces the development of the Department of Physics

He Jiaqing, Chair of the Department of Physics, SUSTech, introduced the department’s discipline construction and team building, as well as its future plan.

Subsequently, Shen Baogen, a CAS member from the Institute of Physics, CAS; Tian He, a CAS member from East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST); Lyu Jian, a member of the National Academy of Technologies of France from City University of Hong Kong; Liu Yunqi, a CAS member from the Institute of Chemistry, CAS; Prof. Tian Yongjun from Yanshan University and Prof. Liu Changsheng from ECUST gave plenary lectures. Ye Hengqiang, a CAS member from the Institute of Metal Research, CAS and Li Shutang, a CAS member from Suzhou University presided over the lectures.
