格林威治大學校友榮獲諾貝爾獎
A FORMER polytechnic student has been awarded the Nobel prize for physics.
Professor Charles Kao graduated in electrical engineering from Woolwich Polytechnic, now the University of Greenwich, in 1957.
Dr Kao, originally born in Shanghai, masterminded the art of sending information via pure glass fibres, a technology which has paved the way for high speed internet and telecommunications.
The Nobel assembly says the men “helped to shape the foundations of today's networked societies" .
After Woolwich Polytechnic, Mr Kao went on to get a PhD from Imperial College and became vice-chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
In an interview given to the University of Greenwich’s magazine in 2007, the professor spoke of spending hours on the tennis court and the societies he joined at the polytechnic.
He said: “Student life is not all studies or play, and Woolwich Polytechnic gave opportunities for students to grow into whole people.”
Dr Kao was a resident of Woolwich during his time there and is remembered as expressing a fondness for fish and chips.
Vice-chancellor of the university Baroness Tessa Blackstone said: “The university is delighted that the great achievement of one of its graduates has been recognised by the Nobel committee.
“We have always regarded Charles Kao as one of our most distinguished alumni, and it was a great privilege when he accepted an honorary degree from the university in 2003. “
