Joint Research Centre with Waterloo Institute of Nanotechnology

The RCNN aims to advance fundamental knowledge of nano research, initiate collaborative research activities for cutting edge applications, and promote knowledge transfer. In this June, Professor Jianhua Hao, Chair Professor and Director of RCNN paid a visit to UW and the signing ceremony was held there. The potential areas of collaboration between PolyU and UW include coordinating joint research proposals for various funding agencies, support mobility of faculty members and researchers between the two institutions, Joint workshop and international conference, and co-supervising graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. 

Through this partnership, RCNN and the WIN are poised to make significant contributions towards solving pressing global challenges in the areas of functional devices, clean energy and environmental applications, and biomedical and health technologies.
