Metrics for Academic and Research Impact

Prof. Angus H.L. Yip joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and School of Energy and Environmental Science (SEE) at CityU as a Professor in 2021. He is also the associate director of Hong Kong Institute for Clean Energy (HKICE). He started his academic career as a Professor in the State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices (SKLLMD) and the School of Materials Science and Engineering at South China University of Technology (SCUT), Guangzhou, in 2013. Since 2017, he also served as the director of the Innovation Center for Printed Organic Photovoltaics in the South China Institute of Collaborative Innovation, Dongguan, which aim is to promote technology transfer and commercialization of new photovoltaic technologies. He got his BSc and MPhil degrees in Materials Science from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and completed his PhD degree in MSE in 2008 at the University of Washington, Seattle.
