NTU (MSE) - IMRE Joint webinar series


To foster greater research collaborations between Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), a webinar series had been jointly organized by the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) department of NTU and Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) of A*STAR. This webinar series featured outstanding academics and researchers from NTU (MSE) and IMRE, showcasing the excellent state of the art research capabilities from both organisations. It is envisaged that this webinar series will inspire and generate exciting ideas for potential collaborations in advancing research in the field of materials science.

For further potential collaboration initiative, please contact Dr Li Zibiao from IMRE (lizb@imre.a-star.edu.sg) or Prof Alex Yan from NTU (alexyan@ntu.edu.sg).
