Congratulations to Hari Harilela Assistant Professor of Physics Hoi Chun Adrian Po, who was awarded a prestigious Asian Young Scientist Fellowship (AYSF). The AYSF scheme aims to encourage and support young scientists in Asia to carry out creative and transformative research in the fields of Life Science, Physical Science, and Mathematics and Computer Science. Prof. Po is a condensed matter theoretical physicist. His interests broadly lie in the collective phenomena that arise when a large number of quantum particles interact and the intriguing interplay between symmetry, topology, and locality that can arise in quantum materials.
Prof. Po joined HKUST as an Assistant Professor of Physics in 2021. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree from the Chinese University in 2013, Prof. Po received an M.A. from the University of California, Berkeley and graduated from Harvard University with a Ph.D. in 2018. He was a Pappalardo Postdoctoral Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology following his graduation until he joined HKUST.
