New Overseas Research Opportunities for Undergrads

Last week Professor Ben-Zhong Tang from the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology visited our Department to present an LLE seminar. During his visit he met with members from our undergraduate office (Professor Graeme Norval and Jane Chung-Medeiros). Their meeting proved quite fruitful. Professor Tang graciously agreed to host five research opportunities for our students at the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology. A huge congratulations to Professor Norval and Jane for adding these abroad opportunities to our already growing list of overseas experiences for undergrads!
