2019

Congratulation to Zachary who won the prestige Hong Kong PhD Fellowship. Welcome!

Vincy has joint our group for her MSc Dissertation. Welcome!

We had successfully hosted the 10th International Conference of the Asian Consortium on Computational Materials Science (ACCMS-10) at CityU in July 2019 with over 200 participants from 22 different countries/regions

We thank Kevin, Shiau Wei, Gigi and Ruby (BSc Chemistry students) for their great assistance in organizing the ACCMS-10

Alfred received the Best Contributed Talk Award at the 10th International Conference of the Asian Consortium on Computational Materials Science (ACCMS-10). Great jobs!

Ephrem has published his first paper as a PhD candidate in our group.

Ephrem was financially supported by CityU to attend the ICAMM International Conference on Advanced Materials Modeling in France in July 2019.

Alfred was financially supported by CityU to attend the 2019 International Conference for Young Chemists (ICYC2019) in Malaysia in August 2019.
