In August 2022, Dr. Andrew Ng Kay Lup from XMUM School of Energy and Chemical Engineering attended the Green Talents Research Stay at the Department of Chemistry, Technical University Munich, Germany for 5 weeks. During this stay, Dr. Andrew Ng Kay Lup visited Prof. Johannes Lercher, the Chair of Chemical Technology II to discuss collaboration on catalysis research.

The Green Talents Research Stay is an extension of the Green Talents Award where award recipients were given a fully funded research stay at their preferred German institutions for academic and research collaborations.

Dr. Andrew Ng Kay Lup was one of the 25 Green Talents in 2019 for his research on perovskite material.
