From September 21 to October 30, 2015, Prof. Alex Fok, Director of Minnesota Dental Research Center for Biomaterials and Biomechanics of University of Minnesota, gave lectures in the Hospital of Stomatology at Sun Yat-sen University. The 5-week academic exchange was sponsored by the Foreign Expert Key Project of Sun Yat-sen University.

Prof. Alex Fok has been a visiting professor of Hospital of Stomatology since 2011. His main research interests include shape optimization of dental restorations, characterization of biomaterials, and statistical analysis of brittle failure. He has published over 60 papers as first author or corresponding author in international academic journals.
  Prof. Alex Fok presented eight lectures, offered advice to the thesis proposals of postgraduate students, and discussed with faculty and students on the teaching and research in stomatology. Six of his lectures centered on two themes: solid mechanics of dental restoration, and research on composite shrinkage. At the request of the students, he also gave two lectures on English paper writing. With novel contents and small class size, the series of lectures achieved good results.

Before the end of the academic exchange, Prof. Cheng Bin, Executive Deputy Dean of Guanghua School of Stomatology, presented a certificate to Prof. Alex Fok as an expression of sincere gratitude. He hoped that the Guanghua School of Stomatology of Sun Yat-sen University and the School of Dentistry of University of Minnesota will deepen cooperation in research, faculty visit and joint graduate programs in the future.
