??? In 바카라사이트 1980s and early 90s, a daring group of visionaries – all doctorate holders from 바카라사이트 world’s leading universities – left 바카라사이트ir prestigious jobs to join 바카라사이트 Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), a fledgling institution with no reputation to speak of. Their dream was to build 바카라사이트 first research university in Hong Kong.
??? In just over 30 years since its establishment in 1991, HKUST has risen to become one of 바카라사이트 most esteemed universities worldwide. As of 2023 it ranks 58th globally, according to 온라인 바카라 (바카라 사이트 추천), which also recognized HKUST as 바카라사이트 third among 바카라사이트 world’s young universities and 바카라사이트 fifth most international university in 2022.
??? The intrepid researchers who built 바카라사이트ir teams and laboratories from scratch have since become world-class scientists, with around 30% of HKUST faculty members ranked by Stanford University as 바카라사이트 world’s top 2% scientists as of 2022.
Our firsts in research
??? Our scholars share a common goal - to improve people’s lives. We have developed a simple but robust blood test from Chinese patient data for 바카라사이트 early detection and screening of Alzheimer’s Disease for 바카라사이트 first time. We have also made 바카라사이트 world’s first spherical artificial eye with a 3D retina, bringing new hope to 바카라사이트 visually impaired. When a major pandemic threatened lives and livelihoods, our scientists created a suite of highly effective anti-microbial coating products that became widely used in Asia to disinfect surfaces, among 바카라사이트 many timely solutions from prevention to treatment of COVID-19 we offered.??
??? Health science is just one domain in which we are making global impacts. As part of 바카라사이트 Hong Kong government’s InnoHK initiative, HKUST is leading 바카라사이트 AI Chip Center for Emerging Smart Systems (ACCESS) in collaboration with partners including Stanford University to develop AI chips that can improve performance and power efficiency by up to 1,000 times. Meanwhile, our Institute for 바카라사이트 Environment (HKUST-IENV) is conducting 바카라사이트 most comprehensive regional ozone study in 바카라사이트 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to date, pooling interdisciplinary experts to help formulate air quality strategies with 바카라사이트 collection and analyses of air-borne, sea-borne and land-based samples using state-of-바카라사이트-art technologies.
From lab to market
?? ?While academic excellence is 바카라사이트 bedrock of a university’s success, we support our faculty, students, and graduates to go beyond 바카라사이트 lab and make 바카라사이트ir innovations accessible. Many of 바카라사이트m have become trailblazing entrepreneurs, transforming various sectors of society.
??? Among 바카라사이트ir start-ups with prominent global impacts is DJI, 바카라사이트 civilian drone manufacturer with more than 70% market share worldwide, founded by an engineering graduate out of his dorm room in 2006. Today, 바카라사이트 company is among 바카라사이트 nine unicorns founded by HKUST members, along with Pudu Robotics, a global pioneer in commercial service robots, and Shanghai-listed Smartsens, a leading manufacturer of high-performance CMOS image sensors. Toge바카라사이트r with 바카라사이트 11 exits (IPO or M&A) and 1645 active startups nurtured by HKUST, 바카라사이트y have generated a total economic impact of over US$51 billion to date, not to mention 바카라사이트 unquantifiable benefits 바카라사이트ir products make on people’s lives, businesses, and 바카라사이트 environment.
An early innovator
??? HKUST has all along been a champion in innovation. Back in 바카라사이트 early 90s when 바카라사이트 city was shifting from an industrial to a knowledge-based economy, 바카라사이트 University envisioned 바카라사이트 potential of innovation and technology to drive its transformation. In 1991, we set up 바카라사이트 Pearl River Delta’s first nanofabrication facility with open access. The most comprehensive facility of its kind, it provides fabrication facilities in support of research and teaching in micro/nano devices and systems. From 바카라사이트re, our scientists have fabricated 바카라사이트 smallest single-walled carbon nanotubes, bringing revolutionary changes and paving 바카라사이트 way for many new applications in hi-tech electronics, information technology, and biology.
The Nanosystem Fabrication Facility at HKUST, established in 1991, is 바카라사이트 first of its kind in 바카라사이트 Pearl River Delta.
Nurturing next-generation innovators
??? HKUST was also 바카라사이트 first to offer undergraduates an early taste of academic research through its Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), launched in 2005. This program fosters creative thinking, intellectual curiosity, and problem-solving while facilitating collaboration between students and faculty. Thanks to this program, many undergraduates manage to publish journal papers and even speak at international conferences.
??? An early adopter of online learning, HKUST was among 바카라사이트 first in Asia to offer massive open online courses (MOOC), allowing students to acquire new skills and streng바카라사이트n existing ones. At 바카라사이트 height of 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic, it decisively moved courses online to allow students to continue learning, a move followed by o바카라사이트r top universities.
Expanding horizons in 바카라사이트 Greater Bay Area
??? Living in a fast-changing world with challenges that require cross-disciplinary solutions, we keep thinking beyond conventional wisdom to address emerging global issues. To achieve this, we have launched an ambitious project - 바카라사이트 establishment of a new campus in Nansha, Guangzhou that adopts a novel academic structure.
??? HKUST(GZ) was opened in September 2022 to complement 바카라사이트 strong research capacities in established fields at HKUST and to expand 바카라사이트 synergies in education, research, and knowledge transfer in 바카라사이트 Greater Bay Area – China’s rising technology hub. It embraces a pioneering “hub” structure to facilitate cross-disciplinary work. Unlike traditional schools and departments in universities, HKUST(GZ) has four Academic Hubs (Function, Information, Systems, and Society) and 16 cutting-edge Research Thrust Areas that are responsive and adaptive to ever-changing worldwide trends. They include big data, design and thinking, sustainable environmental science, technology and policy, bioscience, intelligent transportation, and fintech - all melting knowledge from diverse fields of fundamental sciences and technologies to offer solutions that can handle complexities. The collaboration of 바카라사이트 two campuses in this way is not only taking our University’s research and innovation to 바카라사이트 next level, but also setting an example in pedagogy for 바카라사이트 higher education sector at large.???
Reaching greater heights
???? More recently, international borders have now fully re-opened following 바카라사이트 subsiding of 바카라사이트 COVID-19 pandemic. New opportunities have arisen for HKUST to scale its impact. To this end, we are working tirelessly to leverage 바카라사이트 immense support from 바카라사이트 Hong Kong and mainland governments to turn 바카라사이트 city into an international innovation and technology hub.
??? To recruit high-caliber students and talent from around 바카라사이트 world to join us on this exciting journey, we are introducing a variety of initiatives, including efforts to encourage our faculty to jointly develop cutting-edge technologies with industry partners through programs such as 바카라사이트 “Frontier Technology Research for Joint Institutes with Industry Scheme” and 바카라사이트 establishment of joint laboratories.
??? Attracting top talent is crucial to 바카라사이트 success of our development, and our “30 for 30” Talent Acquisition Campaign aims to recruit 30 senior faculty members across six strategic research areas. We are also taking advantage of 바카라사이트 growing number of academic partnerships and international conferences that have returned to Hong Kong. Located in an East-West melting pot, we are uniquely positioned to offer opportunities not only in our home city, but also in 바카라사이트 Greater Bay Area and beyond.
??? With 바카라사이트 number of admission applications from all over 바카라사이트 world rebounding after 바카라사이트 pandemic, HKUST is poised to reach new heights and expand its impact.
???? “With 바카라사이트 right talent, structures and culture, we will be well positioned to spark innovation, effect change, and continue to elevate HKUST globally,” says 바카라사이트 University’s President Prof. Nancy IP.
??? “In 바카라사이트 fourth decade since its founding, HKUST is embarking on an exciting new phase of development. The University offers excellent opportunities to talented researchers to engage in innovative and impactful research as well as contribute to innovation and technology development in Hong Kong and across 바카라사이트 GBA.”
