RGC funds 2 nanoscience projects
Two CityU projects on nanoscience initiated by the Department of Physics and Materials Science, have received their fair share of funding support from the Research Grants Council (RGC) central allocation 2002-03.
Meanwhile, another research project on "Organic electroluminscence", led by Professor S T Lee, Chair Professor of Materials Science, received funding of $1.8 million this year. Professor Lee's initiative, which started in 1999 with a RGC grant of $3.8 million, also involves multidisciplinary collaboration with researchers in CityU's Departments of Physics and Materials Science, Electronic Engineering, and Biology and Chemistry.
In the latest round of approvals, the RGC spread out the 10 final allocations among the eight local institutions.
