    Professor MOK Shu-kam, Tony, is Chairman of the Department of Clinical Oncology of the Faculty of Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, whose research mainly focuses on biomarker and molecular targeted therapy in lung cancer. He has led many important multi-national clinical studies which have officially established targeted therapy as the first-line treatment for EGFR mutation-positive lung cancer, and laid the foundation for personalised medicine for lung cancer. In 2018, he was presented the Lifetime Achievement Award by the European Society for Medical Oncology in recognition of his profound contributions to the world with his research in the field of lung cancer, and is the first Chinese to receive this honour.

    • The Resonance of Scientific Research – LUK Kwai-man

      The Resonance of Scientific Research – LUK Kwai-man

      Born to a grassroots family, Professor LUK Kwai-man is definitely a local scientist. He was inspired by his teacher during secondary school and developed much enthusiasm for mathematics and received good grades. He later studied at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Hong Kong. In 1985, he was employed by the City Polytechnic of Hong Kong (now the City University of Hong Kong) and started his research on antennas. With the continuous development of modern technology, antennas are not limited to the large antennas we see up above us on the streets. The rapid development of communications technology requires high-performance and stable antennas, and even micro antennas hidden inside mobile phones. Many years ago, Professor LUK and his team developed the “L-shaped Probe Fed Microstrip Antenna” and the “Magneto-electric Dipole Antenna”. Both antennas have wider bandwidths with enhanced reception and stability, and have been used in 4G and 5G network systems. Professor LUK is currently conducting some cross-sector research collaborations to apply radio wave technology to medical tests.

    • Data•Life — GUO Yike

      Data•Life — GUO Yike

      Professor GUO Yike attended Imperial College London from Tsinghua University in 1987. At that time he could barely speak English, and had never heard of the Internet. However, with his hunger to knowledge and confidence in reasoning, he did not just overcame countless difficulties but also became a visionary person. From studying computational logic and artificial intelligence to specialising in big data and machine learning, Professor GUO has made a name for himself in Europe and become an authoritative expert in the field of data science. His secret of success is to keep joining research projects in different disciplines. From biomedical science to energy and town planning, we can find him working in various fields. In 2004, Professor GUO founded the Data Science Institute at his alma amter Imperial College London and became the Founding Director. In 2018, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in the United Kingdom and a Member of the Academia Europaea.
      In 2020, Professor GUO joined the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) as a Vice-President. In 2021, he collaborated with Professor POON Ming-lun Johnny, who is a musician, to develop the “Building Platform Technologies for Symbiotic Creativity in Hong Kong” research project, in which a big quantity of data in music, dancing, movies, visual arts, etc. are collected and used by machines to learn about the creativity of human artists, with a hope that machines can build up their own mode of creation. In December 2022, Professor GUO left HKBU and joined the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as Provost.

    • Young Scientist – SHUM Ho-cheung, Anderson

      Young Scientist – SHUM Ho-cheung, Anderson

      Professor SHUM Ho-cheung, at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Hong Kong, is internationally recognised for his works in microfluidics and soft matters, particularly on his pioneering contributions in combining all-aqueous formulations and droplet microfluidics. His research focuses on the engineering of aqueous droplet interfaces for designing new bio- and cyto-compatible materials. Droplet microfluidics has a wide range of applications, and it can meet the application-level requirements of some biomedical fields. Professor SHUM is the president of the Hong Kong Young Academy of Sciences. He strives to promote science education and cultivate scientific research talents in Hong Kong.

      Ordinary Joe’s Super Power – WONG Wai-yeung

      Professor WONG Wai-yeung is the first Dean of Faculty of Science of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His main research area is organometallic optoelectronics, and he focuses on the application of metal graphene in energy in recent years. In 2010, Professor WONG became the first Chinese to be presented with the Chemistry of the Transition Metals Award by the Royal Society of Chemistry in the United Kingdom, and his basic research results are widely cited. Professor WONG was also included for 7 consecutive years on the list of Highly Cited Researchers published by Thomson Reuters since 2014. He was also awarded the Second Prize of National Natural Science Award in 2013, and was selected as awardee of the inaugural Senior Research Fellow Scheme launched by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council in 2020.

      The Aerospace Engineer – YUNG Kai-leung

      Professor YUNG Kai-leung is Sir Sze-yuen CHUNG Professor in Precision Engineering and Director of the Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, who specialises in designing and producing highly effective space instruments. These instruments have to be light in weight, absolutely reliable, and functional even under challenging conditions such as vacuum environments, microgravity states, extreme temperatures, cosmic dust and cosmic rays. With his composure, focus and precision, Professor YUNG has pushed engineering technology to new heights and made profound contributions to space research. The “Camera Pointing System” of Chang’e-3, “Mars Landing Surveillance Camera” developed for the Mars mission Tianwen-1, and “Surface Sampling and Packing System” of Chang’e-5 are signature inventions of Professor YUNG and his team.

    • Together We Dream High in Aerospace

      Together We Dream High in Aerospace

      The China Manned Space Program is the State Key Project with the largest scale, the most complex systems and the highest basic requirements in the history of China’s development in aerospace science and technology, and it definitely involves top talents and technologies. In fact, Hong Kong’s research and development teams have been making important contributions to our nation’s space exploration, and have developed and manufactured various space instruments.
      The programme also explores how different sectors in Hong Kong promote the development in technopreneurship and aerospace education. The Hong Kong Space Museum has been coordinating the “Young Astronaut Training Camp” since 2009. In fact, various organisations in Hong Kong have been offering aerospace education over the years, and some of the universities in Hong Kong have launched professional courses related to aerospace in recent years to nurture professionals. The programme introduces the contents and achievements of the above-mentioned items.
