We are delighted to announce that PhD student Yang Jing has earned first place in The Fiber Society Graduate Student Paper Competition (GSPC) 2025. The award was presented at The Fiber Society 2025 Fall Conference, held from 22 to 24 October 2025 at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware, USA.
Established in 1985, the GSPC recognises outstanding graduate-level research in the science, technology, and application of fibres. Yang’s paper, “Wearable Fluidic Fabric with Excellent Heat Transfer Performance for Sports Recovery”, was selected for an oral presentation and ultimately received the competition’s top honour.
This achievement reflects the important work conducted under Prof. Tao Xiaoming’s Sports Science and Research Funding Scheme (SSRFS), with key support from the Industrial Centre (IC) and the Hong Kong Sports Institute.
Congratulations to Jing on this outstanding accomplishment.
