Fengyuan was invited to present her ferroelectric nanomachining work at the 2019 International PhD Academic Forum on Intelligent Manufacturing held at Harbin Institute of Technology. She received another award - congratulations Fengyuan!
South China Normal University
Brian visited the lab of Prof. Xingsen Gao at South China Academy of Advanced Optoelectronics, South China Normal University. The university is located in Guangzhou University Town on Xiaoguwei Island. Prof. Gao and Brian were postdocs together over a decade ago in Germany and Fengyuan Zhang was formerly in Prof. Gao’s group before joining UCD to work towards her PhD. It was great to see their facilities, including their AFMs and wall of posters. Following the tour, we had a wonderful lunch and did some sightseeing. The whole team at SCNU was very kind and went out of their way to be welcoming! Looking forward to continued collaboration!
2019 International Workshop on Atomic Force Microscopy for Advanced Functional Materials
Fengyuan and Brian presented at the 2019 International Symposium on Advanced Functional Materials and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM2 2019) and Academic Annual Conference of the Chinese Ceramic Society Micro-nano Technology Branch in Guangzhou. This outstanding conference was co-organised by Fengyuan’s MSc advisor, Prof. Xingsen Gao and colleagues at South China Normal University along with co-chairs Prof. Jiangyu Li (Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology) and Prof. Jingfeng Li (Tsinghua University).
Fengyuan (below, right) received a best poster award at the conference banquet!
Workshop on Emerging Oxide Electronics Dec 13 2019
Brian had the pleasure of attending and presenting at The First Great Bay Area Workshop on Emerging Oxide Electronics for Information and Health at Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences. It was great to see the labs of Prof. Jiangyu Li and his colleagues and to make new friends. Thanks for the hospitality!
IEEE-UFFC Ferroelectrics School Dec 9-13 2019
Fengyuan received a scholarship from IEEE-UFFC to support her attendance at Ferro School 2019 held at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. This was a great opportunity to meet experts in the field and present her work. Thanks to IEEE-UFFC and Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Tsinghua University for organising the school and supporting Fengyuan!
Just back from nanoGe Fall Meeting in Berlin
The conference is over, but the memories will last a lifetime. Follow some of the action here.
Enjoying Halloween
We managed to capture the same moment in two pictures (and enjoyed some tasty treats).
