Introduction

The 20th PSHK Conference will be hosted and is being co-organised by the Hong KongUniversity ofScience and Technology(HKUST) in June 2017. It will be a two-day conference also featuring the AGM of the PSHK, which has been extended from the traditional one-day format to facilitate more science talks. We welcome participants from Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China and even from other parts of the world.

Dates: June 16th– 17th,2017 (Friday & Saturday)

Topics Covered by Conference

1. Biophysics and Soft Matter

2. Particle, Nuclear and Astrophysics

3. Atomic Physics and Quantum Information

4. Metamaterials and Plasmonics

5. Computational Physics

6. Topological and 2d Materials

7. Superconductor and Correlated Electrons

8. Chemical Physics

9. Semiconductor Device Physics

10. Others

We look forward to meeting you at the 20th PSHK Conference this coming June!
