Annual Scientific Meeting
Gathering of innovative minds
Participants attend the post-meeting reception.
The Annual Scientific Meeting 2024 united a dynamic group of dental researchers and students who shared their cutting-edge research findings through oral presentations. The event, held on January 31, 2024 fostered research innovation and collaboration among participants and brought together around 140 staff and students, with 28 oral presentations delivered.
A highlight of the event was the keynote presentation by Professor Zhiyong Fan, Chair Professor at the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering and Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Professor Fan shared his expertise on biomimetic sensing devices with nanostructures, covering topics such as the essence of biomimetics, bio-inspired materials, nanowire array biomimetric retina, and biotic nose chip, etc. His profound knowledge and insights left an indelible mark in inspiring us to push the boundaries of scientific exploration.
Staff and students present their research findings.
To acknowledge the outstanding presentations of the participants, the meeting awarded four Best Presentation Awards. This recognition served as both a celebration of their achievements and an encouragement for all presenters to continue their valuable work in the pursuit of academic excellence.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting. Let us carry forward this momentum and continue our journey towards impactful innovation!
