Since its founding in 2015, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), based at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU), has offered academics and students an innovative, intellectual platform to encourage and foster groundbreaking science research.

Professor Herbert Gleiter, IAS Senior Fellow, has been honored the 2018 Czochralski Award from the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS). The award recognizes the achievements of Professor Gleiter in the field of Advanced Materials Science.

Researchers at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have accomplished an innovative advancement in materials research by successfully creating the world's first-ever 4D printing for ceramics, which are mechanically strong and can have multifaceted shapes. This could unveil a new chapter in the structural application of ceramics. The team was led by IAS Senior Fellow Professor Jian Lu who is a distinguished materials scientist with research interests ranging from fabricating nanomaterials and advanced structural materials to the computational simulation of surface engineering.

Earlier on Nov 12, Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of CityU invited 6 renowned speakers, all Senior Fellows of IAS, to share at the IAS Conference. Held in honour of Prof. Philippe G. Ciarlet's 80th birthday, the conference celebrated the France-Hong Kong Scientific Cooperation, and CityU's unwavering effort in promoting scientific cooperation between the two places in the past 15 years.

From mathematics and quantum physics to chemistry, six world-renowned scholars, members or foreign members of the French Academy of Sciences, gathered at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) to discuss blue sky science development in their fields. The event, initiated by CityU’s Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), was held to celebrate productive scientific cooperation between France and Hong Kong.

The spirit of international collaboration continues to thrive at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU), a fact that was highlighted last month during an important conference honoring the 80th birthday of Professor Philippe G. Ciarlet, a senior fellow with the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) at CityU. He has devoted himself to connecting its students and faculty with some of France’s greatest minds.
