The HKUST Department of Physics is thrilled to announce that Prof. Hoi Chun (Adrian) Po and Prof. Haruki Watanabe have received the prestigious 2026 Frontiers of Science Award (FSA) in Condensed Matter Physics. Awarded by the International Congress for Basic Science (ICBS), this global honor recognizes their groundbreaking collaborative research on symmetry-based indicators. Their elegant mathematical frameworks have fundamentally revolutionized how physicists systematically predict and discover novel topological quantum materials. The awards will be formally presented at the ICBS congress in Beijing this August.
