Features in January 2012 HKUST Science for Lunch Series - Prof. Weijia Wen - New Nano Materials for Industry Applications HKUST Science for Lunch Speaker Series has kindly extended their invitation to all Stanford Alumni members. This coming Wednesday, we have Professor Weijia Wen to explain to as about the advances of Nano Technology and its applications in materials industry. One example is the Electrorheological (ER) Fluid which can quickly change from liquid state to solid state and can be applied in clutches, electronic valve and dampers. Another example is a “smart gel” for applying on windows which can change opacity and transparency according to the window’s surface temperature. Prof. Wen received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from Chongqing University and PhD degree from the Institute of Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences. He pursued post-doctoral research at UCLA from 1997 to 1999, and then joined the Physics Department of HKUST in 1999.
