School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Dr. Kang Li
One of four such large-scale projects funded by RCUK
A £2.3 million strategic alliance between QUB and a number of leading universities in China, including Tsinghua (#1 in China, #58 worldwide), Zhejiang (#3 in China), Shanghai Jiaotong (#4 in China), and key industrial partners in China, including Baosteel (#276 in Global 500), etc.
◊ accelerate the deployment of research knowledge ◊ deepen and strengthen current research links ◊ contribute to the wealth generation of both countries
