From 1994 to 1996, Prof. Wu was awarded a prominent Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from the Australian Research Council (ARC) to develop high-strength and high-toughness nanocomposites. His research outcomes are highly cited by researchers in the field and have received widespread media coverage in Australia. He is a senior consultant/advisor of NXP, Huawei, Kingfa, and Sinopec and a guest professor at several universities. Prof. Jingshen WU Introduction Red Bird MPhil (RBM) Program is HKUST(GZ)’s key vehicle for practising and promoting the interdisciplinary “Hub Concept” in cultivating talented young people. Based on the notion of studentcentredness, students, academic supervisors from hubs/thrusts, industry advisors and project supervisors work together to complete group projects and teaching tasks. Students develop quickly in this total immersion in knowledge and skill. wechat
