Prof. Yang was invited to National Research Council of Canada located in Ottawa to give a technical seminar and attended a joint research meeting on BNNTs and nanocomposites. Prof. Yang introduced multi-scale modeling of nanocomposites. In particular, the comparative study of BNNTs and CNTs, which our lab has recently been focusing on, received a lot of attention from NRC, which is the top tier research institute in synthesis and application of the BNNTs. During the lap tour, Prof. Yang had the honor of touring the office and reading room of Dr. Gerhard Herzberg, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1971.

Prof. Yang deeply appreciate Dr. Keun Su Kim and Dr. Homin Shin at NRC for their warm invitation.
