Lorenzo Pavesi, head of the Nanoscience Laboratory, has been awarded the title of Honorary Professor by the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST). 

This recognition is given to renowned scientists who have significantly contributed to the teaching and research efforts of the Chinese public university. The award ceremony took place on November 25, 2024, in Shanghai.
Pavesi received this honor for his contributions to education and scientific research, particularly in the Gezhi (Science) Innovation Class and the School of Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology. The Gezhi Innovation Class, organized by the Institute of Photonic Chips at USST, is a training program for students motivated by innovation, focusing on fundamental scientific knowledge in physics, photonics, material science, and artificial intelligence.

Pavesi is the first Italian professor to be proposed for this title by the School of Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology at USST. Congratulations to Professor Pavesi on this achievement!
