July 20, 2025 Albert Wong @ Zwarte Cross "Molecules with Rhythm" July 20th 2025, Universitent, in de Schans, Lichtenvoorde [click on the image for linking to website] | June 4, 2025 Albert Wong @ TEDx TwenteU, at Harry Banink theater at Saxion, Enschede "Chemistry of Networks, and the need for experiments". Chemistry is about building something that we imagine, and finding pleasure in what we create! In this talk, Albert explains how experiments are needed to push our boundaries. His own career all began with one simple experiment in the lab. That experiment showed an oscillating reaction and created the foundation for his research group 10 years later.

March 8, 2024 Albert Wong shared his vision on the future in leadership at the Higher Management Day. The UT is exposed to external threats, including increasing financial deficits, decreasing influx of students, and—moreover—an ever-changing demand of society. In the talk entitled "Flow enables TeamUT", I argue how we as Young Academy Twente (YAT) wish to create a strong base for a shared future; We feel connected, we feel at home, and we are a team at UT. | January 17, 2024 Albert Wong @ NTR Nacht van de Wetenschap, gepresenteerd door Stijn Goossens. Media Park, Hilversum Interview at NTR 'De nacht van', broadcasted on Radio 1: "Will a chemical computer become our future?". Many thanks to Ruben R.

engagement at UTWENTE |
Albert Wong was YAT board member, from 2021-2024. Together with other young academics at the UT (educators, scientists, leaders, entrepeneurs), we help to shape the future of our university. See Young Academy Twente for further information on our mission, events, and published work. |
