We are delighted to announce that Prof. Meng WANG at Sun Yan-sen University has been awarded the prestigious Dan Tsui Fellowship by the Hong Kong Institute of Quantum Science & Technology (HKIQST) at The University of Hong Kong. The fellowship was conferred through a highly selective process conducted by the Selection Panel, comprising Advisory Board Members Prof. FENG Donglai, Prof. Jason HO Tin‑Lun, Prof. Hoi‑Kwong LO, and Prof. Xiangang WAN, assisted with HKIQST Executive Members Prof. Zidan WANG, Prof. Wang YAO, Prof. Xiaobo YIN, and Prof. Shizhong ZHANG.
Prof. WANG’s groundbreaking realization of superconductivity in nickelates La₃Ni₂O₇ (Nature, 2023) has established a third class of high‑Tc superconductors, complementing the renowned families of oxide and iron‑based compounds. This landmark discovery has already stimulated extensive experimental and theoretical investigations, particularly into superconductivity under pressure, and is expected to catalyze further advances in the field.
We warmly welcome Prof. WANG to the HKIQST community and look forward to the invaluable insights and contributions his presence will inspire. His fellowship marks not only a personal achievement but also a significant step forward for superconductivity research.
Congratulations to Prof. Meng WANG!
