On December 30, 2009 , the 32^nd Optoelectronics Forum was held at the meeting room A101 in Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO). Prof. Steven Cheng, who is a Member of American Engineering Academy and Dean of College of Polymer Science & Engineering in Akron University, gave a lecture of Self-assembly of soft matter/nanoparticle hybrids in energy and electron/optical Applications to the faculty and students in Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). The lecture was held by Professor Guang Yang. Lin Lin, Party secretary of WNLO in HUST, awarded Professor Cheng the Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics Forum badge.

       Professor Cheng  firstly elaborated the importance of being farsighted, inclusive and applicable in doing research. He also called on domestic researchers to calm down and engage themselves in doing research. Later on, he discussed his own achievements in the research of C60 particles and organic polymers POSS. In addition, he predicted with convincing theory and research outgrowths that these composite materials would be widely applied in the fields of the conductive electrode, micro-capacitors, solar cells, etc.
