HKU Visualise Your Thesis Competition 2020

Visualise Your Thesis is an exciting competition introduced by The University of Melbourne that challenges research postgraduate students to present their research in a 60 second, eye-catching digital display.

The HKU Visualise Your Thesis Competition (HKU VYT) 2020 is organised by the Knowledge Exchange Office, with support from Graduate School. The judging panel included Professor John Bacon-Shone, Professor Frederick Leung, Professor Julia Kuehn and Professor Xuechen Li.
