Professor Zhaoli Gao is visiting our chair at TU Dresden as part of the Capital Selecta Lecture Series from June 27th to July 5th, 2024.
Laudatio:
Prof. Zhaoli Gao completed his B.Eng. and Ph.D. in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Since 2014, he has been a post-doctoral researcher at the Nano/Bio Interface Center and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania. In October 2019, Dr. Gao joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong as an Assistant Professor and established the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory (MDL). His research interests include all-electronic biosensors for disease diagnosis, wearable electronics, and two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials.

Erasmus Mundus Scholarship:
Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available for visiting researchers who want to carry out research and teaching assignments and scholarly work for the Erasmus Mundus Masters in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. As a visiting scholar you could visit one (or more) of the 5 Partner universities to do research, and give lectures. The minimum period is 1 week, the maximum stay is 3 months. A week is defined as minimum of 4 out of 7 consecutive calendar days. Days of scholar work may include travelling time. Scholarships will be awarded to European and third-country scholars in accordance with the following criteria: Scholarships can be awarded to scholars/guest lecturers from any country, who bring added value to the student intake in terms of student-centred teaching/lecturing, research activities, Master thesis support, academic support, academic/professional networking. They will be selected by the EMM-Nano+ consortium to contribute to the joint programme within the European partner institutions. EMM scholars must demonstrate outstanding academic and/or professional experience and bring concrete added value to the delivery of the EMM-Nano+ Master. Only candidates who have been invited or accepted by the EMM-Nano+ consortium in accordance with its specific scholars’ selection criteria are eligible for a scholarship
Capita Selecta Lecture series:
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are important but relatively new disciplines and as such they are accompanied by many uncertainties as to their impact on modern society. It is expected that nanotechnology will eventually impact on every area of our world and on every aspect of our lives. Nanotechnology does not only refer to techniques that are used to study the world at nanometer scale (the scale of a few atoms) but also to the technology used to design and fabricate the building blocks with nano-scale precision. These building blocks will allow the development of revolutionary new materials, new applications in the bio field and in information technology, consumer articles and appliances, a promise already made for years now by nano-scientists. But when can we really expect that these new applications will massively become available? And how can and will we deal with these technologies in a responsible way? These are the type of questions that are treated in the Series of Lectures on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. These lectures are given by local and international experts on various and very divergent topics such as new important developments in nanotechnology, the opportunities for nanotechnology applications, the legal and ethical aspects and risks of nanotechnology developments and some business aspects.
