CAL Alumni Club of Shanghai Gathered to welcome Prof. Knight at May 17, 2005
Robert Knight, one of Berkeley's top faculty & Professor of Neuroscience, Psychology and Neurology and Director of Berkeley's Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, paid a very brief, yet extremely fruitful and interesting visit to China’s most vigorous city –Shanghai during May 14-18, 2005. Prof. Knight's visit to Shanghai was being coordinated by the Institute of Neurosciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Prof. Knight appeared at a gathering of CAL Alumni, sponsored by Prof. Binglin Tan, President of CAL Alumni Club of Shanghai in his honor on the evening May 17. He gave a 30-minute talk to introduce his research program and answered audience questions. All present felt greatly honored and benefited a lot by Prof. Knight’s talks. Even though most of Cal Alumni present was in engineering; nevertheless, the topic was quite interesting and the presentation was well received. “Some of the neuroscience research is related to pattern recognition and data mining which our company are doing. I hope to keep in touch with Prof. Knight in the future.” Dr. Michael Xuan, Director of Hua Analytical Technology Co., Ltd and who received his PhD from Department of Mathematics, UC Berkeley in 1990, said.
Brief lecture-tour to University of Shanghai for Science and Technology
Professor Knight also paid a brief lecture-tour to the Theoretical Linguistics Research Center, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) as guest invited by Prof. He Gang, another Berkeley alumnus from Philosophy Department, in the afternoon of May 17. He gave a very enlightening lecture with Power Point illustrations on Aphasia—a language-related neurological issue. His lecture was very vivid and easy to understand, and was enthusiastically attended by graduate and undergraduate students as well as faculty members of the College of Foreign Languages, USST.
After the lecture, Prof. Knight toured the beautiful USST campus and was treated to a brief and beautiful dinner hosted by Prof. Luule, Dean of FLC, and USST.
