The prestigious lecture is usually given by distinguished researchers to honour the late Dr Kun Huang, who is widely regarded as the Father of Solid State Physics studies in China. Professor Mawby’s lecture focused on some of the most important innovations in the recent development of power semiconductor devices. The lecture was attended by researchers from the Academy and some R&D engineers in the Beijing area.

Professor Mawby then visited Chongqing University in Chongqing, China to discuss about future collaborations in research and teaching in the areas of power electronics and electrical engineering. He also visited China Railway and Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) in Zhuzhou, Hunan Provinces, which has been an industrial partner of the Warwick Power Electronics Group through their UK representative company Dynex.
