I could be wrong but I don't think Hawking has much to do with the technological or conceptual side of this project. My impression is that they needed a popular figurehead to promote the project and asked him, and he thought it was cool and agreed to do it. You don't need Hawking to do anything in this project, there are plenty of people with a much better understanding of materials science and laser systems than him.
