Academics

The education we provided is complementary to traditional-disciplinary ones, striving for more forward-looking exploration.

Advanced Materials

About

Advanced Materials, concerned with the structure and properties of materials, are enablers for existing and future technological innovations like microelectronics, biomedical devices, renewable energy / sustainable environmental technologies, and quantum communication / computing. Given the interdisciplinary nature and the diversity of materials science and technology, the aim of the Advanced Materials Thrust (AMAT) is to foster close collaborations with hubs (schools)/thrusts (departments) to conduct internationally leading research on impactful cutting-edge materials discovery and innovation.

Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences

About

The Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) Thrust aims to become a leading educational and research entity in interdisciplinary studies of ocean-atmosphere-land interactions. EOAS targets on interdisciplinary research topics that have vast open space to be explored. It delivers an interdisciplinary educational and research program that links earth surface science, oceanography, and atmospheric science together. This interdisciplinary knowledge in a holistic view of the earth system is essential to achieving and maintaining a sustainable environment under climate change on regional and global scales.
