Assoc. Prof. ChM. Dr Lee Siew Ling, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Nanomaterials (CSNano), attended the 2026 China–ASEAN Xishan Belt and Road Forum on High-Yield, High-Quality and High-Efficiency Research of Mountainous Speciality Crops in Guiyang, Guizhou, China, from 18 to 20 September 2026.
As an invited speaker, Dr Lee presented her research on developing efficient titanium oxide-based, visible-light-driven photocatalysts for removing organic dyes. Her presentation highlighted the potential of advanced photocatalytic materials to address environmental pollution and support the development of sustainable treatment technologies.
During her visit to Guizhou, Dr Lee was also invited to the College of Agriculture, Guizhou University (GZU), where she participated in a research-sharing session with groups led by Prof. Dr He Tengbing and Assoc. Prof. Dr He Guandi. The session gave researchers an opportunity to exchange expertise and explore areas of mutual research interest.
The discussions focused on potential research collaboration between CSNano and the College of Agriculture, GZU, including opportunities for joint research projects, academic exchange and knowledge sharing. The visit represents an important step towards strengthening long-term institutional ties and developing impactful interdisciplinary collaboration between UTM and GZU.
