President’s Message I am very pleased to present to you the Genesis- HKUST Newsletter in its new format. A university is a close-knit community, with shared values, activities, and memorable moments. Its in-house publication functions like a village well, where we come together periodically to chat, celebrate and bond. The outside community also gets an inside view of life on campus. The revamped Genesis-HKUST Newsletter is driven by this underlying idea of community identity. To this end, a new Editorial Advisory Board has been established, made up of representatives from various academic units. Participation is the watchword, for in the end, a journal is only as good as its reading community makes it. I hope therefore that you will all pitch in, with your ideas, or better still, your written pieces, so that the Genesis- HKUST Newsletter will become the distinctive voice of the community. President Paul Chu Genesis-HKUST Newsletter Foreword by the President

Front & Center The Lee Shau Kee Foundation Limited has generously pledged a donation of HK$ 400 million to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in March 2007 to support the University’s development as a global leader in education and research. At the cheque presentation ceremony, Dr Lee Shau Kee said, HKUST aspires to become a world premier intellectual center. I hope my donation will help the University realize this goal so that more talented individuals will have the opportunities to receive its quality education. Eventually, this will benefit the whole community. Donations Likened to Investment Decisions Dr Lee Shau Kee, dubbed by some as Asia’s Warren Buffet for his uncanny knack of picking winners among equities in recently years, likened donations to picking investments. ?Picking a recipient university is like picking a stock: You go by its past performance and its future return. HKUST is an easy pick, said Dr Lee, adding that he was touched by President Paul Chu’s determination to make HKUST a world-class university. HKUST Council Chairman Dr John Chan expressed his profound gratitude to Dr Lee for his magnificent donation. We are indeed fortunate to have such a great partner. This magnificent gift signifies Dr Lee’s strong endorsement of HKUST? mission of excellence ,Dr Chan said. President Paul Chu said Dr Lee’s donation would enable the University to pursue a range of initiatives and would benefit HKUST students enormously in the transition to a four-year undergraduate curriculum that will be introduced in 2012. New Campus to Accommodate the Surge in Student Numbers In recognition of Dr Lee’s generous support, the University will name its new campus now being developed the Lee Shau Kee Campus and name a building on the new campus that would house the HKUST Business School and other academic units the ?Lee Shau Kee Business Building and honor Dr Lee as a Founding Patron of the Institute for Advanced Study at HKUST. The new campus of HKUST is located on higher ground from the main campus. It is scheduled for opening in 2012, to tie in with the conversion to the 4-year degree system. The number of students at HKUST is expected to increase by as much as one-third by the time the four-year degree program is in place in 2012. Infrastructure developments are essential to accommodating the surge in student numbers. A $400 Million Donation Gets HKUST Closer to its Dream Aldous Leonard Huxley once said, After the verb to love, to help is the most beautiful verb in the world?? This is very true. Dr Lee Shau Kee donates HK$400 million to HKUST Dr John C C Chan and President Paul Chu express their deepest gratitude 4 Face to Face Ten Questions on 3-3-4 for Prof Roland Chin The transition to a four-year undergraduate program is the biggest challenge facing universities in Hong Kong. Genesis-HKUST Newsletter asks Vice-President for Academic Affairs (Deputy to the President) Prof Roland Chin what HKUST is doing in preparation for this change. Genesis: What would you do with the additional undergraduate year? Roland: It is not about what to do with an extra year of teaching and learning. It is not about replacing one year of secondary school with Year 1 at HKUST. It is about rethinking the whole learning experience for students. The additional year will become an integral part of our students??4 years of undergraduate experience. The change will be fundamental and holistic, not incremental. Genesis: What are the guiding principles when you rethink the 4-year program? Roland: We heed what the society expects of our graduates. They expect our graduates to be academically superior, critical thinkers, citizens with broad-based knowledge and global outlook, and committed members of the community. In other words, we want our students to receive a ?hole person??education at HKUST. Genesis: What does this ?hole person??concept exactly mean in practice? Roland: For example for our engineering students, we see them more than just professional engineers but knowledgeable citizens who know finance and economics to understand corporate finance and geopolitical issues, who can also sensibly debate Hong Kong? democratic reform, and who can engage in intelligent exchange with friends and colleagues on Paul Cezanne’s oil paintings and Barack Obama’s political platform. Genesis: That sounds a tall order for an undergraduate. Roland: Our globalized community demands nothing less than that. Our graduates need to be competent specialists, broad-thinking generalists, and life-long learners with strong core competence in quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, communication skills, and cultural diversity. These are the goals of our four-year program. Genesis: What other specific differences would there be compared with what our undergraduates are doing now? Roland: Under a four-year program, self-directed learning would begin early in freshman year, with the focus on research and projects, and the development of learning to learn skills. They are also free to sample courses that excite them before they choose a major. These are the only ways to prepare our students for today? world. Genesis: How do you develop cultural awareness? Roland: Knowledge of different cultures would both be taught in our core program and also be integrated into the curriculum and everyday campus life as our faculty and student population become increasingly international. Our students would have plenty of opportunities to interact and learn from students from overseas. A four year program would also give each and every undergraduate a chance and choice to study abroad on exchange, or an internship away from Hong Kong. Face to Face 5 Genesis: How about co-curriculum, or what we used to call extra-curricula activities? Roland: There will be a strong co-curricular program which would be partially away from campus - for example, study abroad programs and internship programs. In addition, some would be community-oriented. Science students, for example, may want to help build a village bridge on the Mainland, and business students may teach English in community centers. Genesis: Interdisciplinary is a trend in higher education. Would it feature prominently in our 4-year program? Roland: We have been planning for a school for interdisciplinary studies for 2 years since we designed our Strategic Plan 2005-2020. Interdisciplinary programs would better prepare students for multi-faceted problems in real life. Health care and biomedical sciences, for example, must address air pollution issues, which in turn are linked to energy production, which then leads to chemistry, engineering, and finance. Genesis: But most professors are trained as specialists, each in a single discipline. Roland: This is a challenge. We could break down interdisciplinary barriers by joint development of curriculum that would utilize expertise from various academic departments and disciplines. We could also practice team teaching and team supervision of students. Many of our professors are very open minded and are eager to launch into new areas. I am sure we would be able to innovate and produce many good interdisciplinary programs for our students. Genesis: How will 3-3-4 facilitate Hong Kong? endeavor to become a regional education hub? Roland: Universities worldwide from Asia, Europe, the US are reinventing themselves. The oil-rich countries of the Middle East are pouring their oil money into universities, realizing that knowledge output has outpaced oil as the key driver of socioeconomic progress. Many Asian countries are doing the same to transform themselves into a knowledge-based society. Hong Kong? modest cluster of 8 UGC-funded institutions with a total of 43,500 undergraduates and less than 4,000 faculty members looks ill-equipped to begin the daunting task of transforming the territory into an education hub, or to produce enough manpower to fuel the knowledge-based transformation. But the 4-year program certainly helps Hong Kong to move one step closer to our desired destination.

UST Co-develops the4 world’s First Dynamite-fishing Detection System Fish blasting, a destructive fishing method, is illegal in Hong Kong but it is still practised in the Hong Kong and nearby waters. HKUST commits its efforts to environmental protection and has close co-operation with World Wide Fund (WWF) and Teng Hoi Conservation Organization (Teng Hoi). The three parties co-developed the world? first dynamite-fishing detection system which has now been installed under the water of WWF? Marine Life Center in Hoi Ha Wan. A press conference was held on March 14 co-organized by WWF, HKUST and Teng Hoi to announce the findings recorded by the detection system. The result was shocking, as a total of eight blast events were recorded in the three months between November last year and February this year. Dr Vincent Li, Project Manager of Design and Manufacturing Services Facility of HKUST, urged the fishermen to abandon this inconsiderate method as the harvest they could get would be very little and it would definitely destroy the marine life and reefs. He hoped that the figures the system generated would provoke the Government departments concerned into taking action in combating these illegal activities. Local Mapping Real Time Air Quality in a Marathon The Hong Kong Standard Chartered Marathon was successfully held on March 4. The Mobile Real-time Air Monitoring Platform (MAP), developed by researchers at HKUST, was invited to measure air quality on track this year. A unique tool to take up this noble duty, MAP was designed and developed in 2000 with a grant of HK$12.3 million from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. This is the first time MAP participated in the Marathon and also the first time in a marathon that on-road air quality was measured. Unlike existing fixed air monitoring stations, MAP provides flexibility and can make air quality monitoring anywhere accessible by road. Prof Chak K Chan, Professor and Associate Head of HKUST Chemical Engineering Department shared his happy memories in the Marathon and said that MAP did a great job and provided the organizers with valuable air quality information on that day.

Protecting Intangible Cultural Heritage The protection of historical sites has drawn public attention. But intangible cultural heritage items such as the Fire Dragon Dance, Lion Dance, and Cantonese Opera are equally worthy of protection. The Humanities Division of HKUST was commissioned by the Government to track and record the preservation and implementation of Hong Kong’s intangible cultural heritage . As China is one of the signatories of the UN Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, effective from April last year, major provinces in China have started the work of listing important intangible cultural heritage items. Guangdong is among the pioneers in making its own inventory of almost 80 items. Dr Liu Tik-sang, Associate Professor of the Humanities Division of HKUST, points out that intangible cultural heritage is closely related to traditional and local community, comprising traditional practices, activities, skills and sites. Based on the Guangdong list, he led a team to keep a record of these activities, skills and customs, and how these are practised and passed down the generations in Hong Kong. Dr Liu emphasizes the significance of preserving cultural heritage in the accelerated process of urbanization. Many traditional practices and techniques will face extinction without preservation. Beautiful Tai O Village has given us not only its unique scenery but also the techniques used by the Tai O fishermen to make a living, such as fish catching, net-weaving, sea tides forecast .They are invaluable heritage worthy of preservation. Dr Liu elaborates. Dr Liu adds that Hong Kong traditional practices have a distinct local flavor despite their similarity to those of Guangdong. he religious practices have been protected under the freedom of religion policy of the colonial government. Against this, the Mainland banned religious observances after the Liberation,??Dr Liu explains. Thus, a variety of Hong Kong-styled traditional practices have been developed. For example, Poonchoi (a large basin of food serving a table of over ten people) is offered in large feasts held by the rural community for religious celebrations. The cuisine has evolved into a special treat for urban families. The Tai Ping Ching Chiu a festive activity held in the New Territories and on outlying islands such as Cheungchau, takes the form of a large-scale religious procession Dr Siu-woo Cheung, another leader of the project and Associate Professor of Humanities Division, points out that although the team has finished 70% of the list , the confirmation of the list, the format of records, the protection of the listed heritage need further discussion. Dr Liu adds that the government should solicit views from the community and experts for formulating a reasonable and sustainable policy of preservation. In the meantime, to enhance young people’s understanding and awareness of heritage protection, the Humanities Division has launched educational programs for them. The Humanities Division of HKUST has devoted research work to regional communities and their preservation. Dr Liu is recognized as an expert in the research of local community of Sai Kung. Under his leadership, the South China Research Center located in Nansha has been working on the data collection of local history of the Pearl River Delta Region. 9 Impressive Results Recorded for the First Putonghua Proficiency Test Ground Breaking Ceremony for PKU-HKUST Shenzhen Medical Center In recognition of the increasing importance of Putonghua, HKUST signed an agreement with the State Language Commission in August, 2006, thus establishing its status as an authorized center of the Putonghua Proficiency Test. The first batch of the tests took place at HKUST in March, with a 94% pass rate of the 87 candidates, of which 13.79% attaining a Class One, 17.24% attaining a Class Two and 63.22% a Class Three. Ms Tam Shing Chu, a Language Centre Putonghua teacher who was involved in administering the test, found the Reading Aloud part most challenging to candidates, when their control of rhythm and intonation could be adversely affected by their own mother tongue, i.e. Cantonese. She advised candidates to do more practice on Putonghua rhythm and intonation, and to relax and go slowly during the test.

The ground breaking ceremony of the Academic Building for the PKU-HKUST Shenzhen Medical Center held on 26 January this year marks an extensive collaboration between the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and its Mainland partners in technology development and nurturing senior professionals. The University’s collaboration with its Mainland partners dates back to August 1999 when the University entered into a joint venture agreement with Peking University (PKU) and the Shenzhen Municipal Government to establish the PKU-HKUST Shenzhen-Hong Kong Institution Industry, Education and Research (IER) Base. Through the extensive collaboration with PKU and Shenzhen Municipal Government, the Medical Center promises to be a powerhouse for medical research and training. It is not only giving us space, it is giving us valuable space where universities and the Shenzhen government can fruitfully interact. Upon completion, the Medical Center will provide advanced facilities for medical teaching and learning, research and development with a boost in capability said Prof Y S Wong, Vice-President for Administration and Business at HKUST. The ground breaking ceremony of PKU-HKUST Shenzhen Medical Center National 10 Center Gears Up for Promoting Digital Life Capitalizing on outstanding IT research at HKUST and drawing on the advantages provided by HKUST Fok Ying Tung Graduate School in Nansha, the Digital Life Research Center will be positioned as a platform for technology transfer and commercialization of digital life products Prof Lionel Ni, Director of the Center and Head of Department of Computer Science and Engineering, says that IT research at HKUST is among the best in the world, but the potentials of commercialization and technology transfer of the research have not been fully realized. The Center set up under the Graduate School provides the ideal platform for innovation in areas including mobile device, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), sensor network and wireless communications. There is an ample supply of land and talents on the Mainland. The Center’s proximity to the manufacturers in Pearl River Delta allows more effective and direct promotion of the technology developed at the Center. Prof Ni adds that the Center has successfully applied for research funding from the Guangdong Government for joint projects with other Mainland academic institutes. Cooperating with Sun Yat-sen University at Guangzhou and Nansha IT Park, among others, the Center has acquired 4.2 million RMB for the research and development of mobile phone related projects. He is pleased that the strategic partnership has been very successful in bringing together parties of different strengths. HKUST plays an important role in providing the core technology for commercialization. Dr Zhang Qian, Associate Director of the Center and Associate Professor of Department of Computer Science and Engineering, said that there are four major projects undertaken by the Center. They include leveraging mobile phones into remote control devices for digital appliances, effective self-organizing network, effective management of wireless network and remote care for family and patients. A wide range of applications will be developed covering family life, entertainment, business management and even distant diagnosis for patients. Two solutions will be completed and demonstrated to potential investors. The first solution enables the user to remote control a computer via a mobile phone at any place. It is very convenient and efficient for managers to access computers for instant correction of presentations at any time and place. The self-organizing network is a movable network in which each node in the network communicates only with its immediate neighbors. Without any support of preinstalled network, the user can organize a network with other people using a variety of digital products for purposes of meeting and for on-line games. The solution provides chances for husbands to find partners for on-line games even when they are accompanying their wives on shopping trips in department stores, Dr Zhang said. Digitalization is all around us. Computers, mobile phones, the Internet and other digital products have become essential to modern life. By linking digital devices together, a seamless environment will be created for a more efficient and convenient life. The Digital Life Research Center is established with a mission to turn the idea into reality. Global 11 Kellogg-HKUST EMBA 10th Anniversary Management Conference Eighteen emineut speakers offered tips on how companies and individuals should prepare for the next decade at a management conference organized by the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA Program in celebration of its 10th anniversary in Hong Kong in late May. Entitled ?Moving Forward in the Next Decade the one-day conference was attended by over 200 business leaders, academics, senior professionals, and undergraduate students. The Honorable Henry Tang, the then Financial Secretary of the Government of HKSAR, was the guest of honor. President Prof Paul Chu, Prof Donald Jacobs, Dean Emeritus of Kellogg and Prof K C Chan, the outgoing Dean of the HKUST Business School opened the Conference. Daniel Pink, author of international best seller ? Whole New Mind?? The Honorable David Li, Chairman of The Bank of East Asia, and Prof Dipak Jain, Dean of the Kellogg School of Management were keynote speakers. The one-day event featured two plenary sessions with Mr Anthony Nightingale, Managing Director of Jardine Matheson, Mr James Thompson, Chairman of Crown Worldwide Group, Prof Ranjay Gulati of the Kellogg School of Management, Prof Caroline Wang of the HKUST Business School, Mr David Cunningham, President, Asia Pacific Division of FedEx Express, Dr Lawrence Wong, former CEO of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Mr Peter Stein, Hong Kong Bureau Chief, The Wall Street Journal. Three professors, namely, Prof Ranjay Gulati and Prof Lakshman Krishnamurthi of Kellogg and Prof Steven DeKrey of the HKUST Business School, each chaired a breakout session on a different topic. Kellogg-HKUST EMBA 10th Anniversary Management Conference The Honorable Henry Tang, Chief Secretary, the then Financial Secretary addresses the forum Speakers pose at the Conference Globalism Challenged by Brilliant Writer Globalism, as an article of faith, has been deeply rooted in Hong Kong. It is taught, preached, and discussed in schools, within the government and even among the mass media. An extraordinary essayist and philosopher, Dr John Ralston Saul, came a long way from Canada to one of the most globalized economies to challenge this orthodoxy. Elite businessmen, intellectuals and students were provoked into rethinking the validity of the long-held beliefs. Dr Saul shared his bold and insightful views at a seminar co-organized by HKUST and the Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival on 14th March. He began by amazing the audience with the declaring that the discourse on Globalism was disconnected from the reality. Vaguer and vaguer discussion on Globalism provided support to this unchallenged concept. When the theories of Globalism were under the spotlight during 1950s to 1970s, discussions on related topics including the rise of technology and the economy as the determinant factor of social advancement were specific. However, recent arguments have toned down the role of Globalism in economic and social developments. Dr Saul supported his arguments by pointing out that undesirable trends have emerged in opposition to the desirable outcomes expected by the advocates of Globalism. The rising tide of competition, novel ways of trade and weakening nation states were once hopeful trends brought about by Globalism. The recent measures and policies undertaken by major powers also suggest that ideology no longer prevails. As one of the founders of Globalism, the UK has recently proposed a foreign policy that is anti-Globalist in nature. The terms of the policy include counter-terrorism and protection of UK economic interests Dr Saul drew the attention of the audience to the present state of the global economy, in which the directions were unclear. But the world has to pay attention to

unfavorable trends of mergers and acquisitions. He stressed that the trends have merely created larger structures of control, but have actually reduced competition. Global Dr Saul explains his views on the collapse of globalism

HKUST Business School and NYU to Launch Global Finance Program Historic Agreement between Universities from Three Continents HKUST Business School and New York University Stern School of Business (NYU Stern) announced in March the launch of a joint Master of Science (MS) in Global Finance Program. Both schools signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the presence of an honored guest, Mr Federick Ma, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury. The program will be offered later in November. This Program will take one year to complete in a part-time format. The majority of the courses will be taught on the HKUST campus while three intensive learning modules will take place on NYU Stern’s campus in New York City. Graduates will receive a diploma jointly conferred by HKUST and NYU Stern. This is the first time NYU Stern has collaborated in a joint degree program with an Asian business school. Prof Thomas Cooley, Dean of NYU Stern hoped that the co-operation this time could help train future financial leaders for Hong Kong and New York City, two major international financial centers. An iron trinity for research and education was formed by three top-ranked universities from three continents. For the first time in its history, HKUST is entering into a collaborative agreement with Universitat Karlsruhe, a top-ranked elite German research powerhouse, and Carnegie Mellon University, a premier university foremost in America for its expertise in computer science. The signing ceremony, held on 1 February, was attended by Prof Paul Chu, President of HKUST, Prof Gene Hambrick, Director of CMU International Development and Prof Horst Hippler, President of Universitar K arlsruhe to strengthen collaborations in research and education programs in computing and communication technology. The agreement signed will initially commit the three universities for a period of three years to collaborations in research and education program in computing and communication technology the bedrock of strength for all three institutions. Under the agreement, a center for joint research and education cooperation will be established. Prof KC Chan (left) and Prof Thomas Cooley

In the UST Family If there is one adjective which attaches itself stubbornly to Prof Chan Yuk Shee, it is unassuming His personal style is low-key and muted. In fact he is the embodiment of the Chinese virtue of modesty. Unless you look really hard, you may miss the heroic qualities lurking beneath his ordinariness He also reminds me of the proverb still waters run deep In our 45-minute meeting, he speaks quietly, without extravagant gestures or expressions. He does not overwhelm. He seeps into your consciousness. You get the distinct impression that you are talking to a man of quiet determination who prefers speaking through his actions. Still youthful and lean, Prof Chan is a man in a hurry. At the young age of 36 he became a Chair Professor in Finance at the University of Southern California. When drafted by HKUST to be the founding dean of its Business School, he could boast of no administration experience on his resume. What he offered was off the line: a keen mind with a smart plan cloaked in strategic principles. His first guiding principle was to establish a system so openly international that any scholars joining the school could quickly identify with it and feel at home in. This system with its objective standards for measuring scholarly excellence became immediately attractive to scholars of international caliber. Another bold idea saw him defy the received wisdom among business schools in putting teaching on the front burner. Instead, he zeroed in on laying a solid foundation for quality research which quickly earned the university a solid reputation. Just as crucially, he later followed this by setting the goal of educating high-caliber executive and managerial talents for local and international businesses. HKUST quickly shot up in academic esteem among the business community. His flagship enterprise for this strategy is the now world-renowned HKUST-Kellogg EMBA program, the most expensive program of its kind in Asia. In a few short years, it earned the university top ten rankings in the world, climbing as high as second, and consolidating currently at the number three spot. It has become the gold standard in executive education within the industry, and in academic circles. In the early days of the business school, Prof Chan recalls, he was often frazzled in the role of a firefighter, hosing down trouble whenever it flared up. But the firefighting days are all behind him now. The HKUST Business School is as good as it gets in the international arena. Prof Chan has a transformative influence on HKUST. His influence extends beyond being the founding dean of its Business School. In recent years, he has been part of the driving force for quality education as the Vice President for Academic Affairs, providing it with an unerring radar of bold vision and subtle wisdom. In transforming himself into the guru of management, Prof Chan has magically transformed the Business School and the University. The fate of institutions is often tied to the fate of outstanding individuals. In HKUST’s case, it is a monumental piece of rare luck that it was able to locate someone with his transcendental talents and burning sense of mission. When asked about the ingredients of HKUST’s early success, Prof Chan replies, without a moment’s hesitation, that they boil down to two things: purpose and passion. He is now called to a new and even bigger mission, as president-designate of Lingnan University. HKUST’s huge loss is Lingnan’s timely gain. We, who are saddened by his departure, must nevertheless rejoice in the fact that once again, the right man has been found for the right job. 14 A Fond Farewell, not a Goodbye: HKUST Bids Farewell to One of its Founding Heroes: Prof Chan Yuk Shee Prof Chan leads HKUST efforts in nurturing IT talents with Microsoft Research Asia Microsoft Research Asia At Prof Chan’s farewell party, colleagues give him their blessings

In the UST Family Prof Nelson Cue, the founding head of the Physics Department at HKUST and currently Chair Professor of the Department, is retiring from HKUST in June after 17 years of dedicated work. He is a model distinguished academic cum leader, who has played a leading role in a new department, a new institute and a new program. His spirit of embracing change and taking risk is inspirational. Before joining HKUST, Prof Cue had had a successful career at the State University of New York at Albany (SUNY), USA. But he decided to relinquish the post of Chairman of Physics at SUNY and go into a venture in building a first class university in Hong Kong, a place with Chinese ties. He took up the challenging post of founding head and Professor of Physics on 1 July 1990, and was responsible for setting up the undergraduate and postgraduate programs in a short span of a year. Heavily involved in recruiting faculty, designing curricula, and establishing laboratories, he never forgot his mission - to establish the niche research areas of materials physics for the Department. The Department of Physics has excelled in the chosen areas of research and is now among the academically strongest in Hong Kong. He humbly attributed the success to the team efforts of HKUST colleagues and the autonomy given by the senior administrators for him to do the right things. He also advocated a new learning approach for science students. His enthusiasm in teaching drove him to develop more innovative teaching and learning tools. Seeing the need to foster interaction and communication between teachers and students in large classes, he invented a novel system named Personal Response System (PRS). PRS is now widely used across disciplines, institutions and continents. Teachers and learners have found it very useful to enhance interaction, learning and teaching. With the help of an ex-colleague, Prof Cue established a company called Edu- Cue LLC for the distribution of PRS worldwide. The establishment of EduCue only marked the beginning of Prof Cue? involvement in technology transfers and commercialization of research and inventions. He is one of the very few academics who have been engaged in the start up of more than one company - three to be exact - in the HKUST Entrepreneurs Program. The Risk-taking Career of Prof Nelson Cue 16 Prof Cue leads a challenging life at HKUST Prof Cue promotes online learning He has encountered difficulties and challenges for every new position he held at HKUST. Venturing into unknown areas, he succeeded in making things happen. Sometimes he failed.

Any change is a risk and an opportunity. Taking it as an opportunity gives me energy and makes me feel better, he opined, and added like to inspire people, motivate people and coordinate them to make the organization grow. I apply my motto to everyday life - be fair, be caring and to learn life-long. I never stop learning new things in order to truly follow this motto in communicating with others and understanding their needs,??Prof Cue said with a self-satisfied smile.

Raising the Bar Advancing Cutting-edge Technologies for a Better Future Prof Ben Zhong Tang Advancing the Material World Prof Ben ZhongTang fervently believes that the development of new materials will bring about technological progress. His vision of bettering human life through innovations in materials has driven him to pioneering research in material science. His research focuses on the construction of advanced materials based on new molecules and macromolecules constructed from acetylenic triple-bond building blocks. His work is the key to the understanding of the structural design of the building blocks, exploration for robust and green polymerization catalysts, and development of new polymerization reactions. Polymers assembled from triple-bond building blocks are more advanced than plastics used in everyday life, Prof Tang explained. They exhibit novel properties including optical, electrical, magnetic and even biological properties. They can be used as substitutes for metals, offering a cheaper option for electricity transmission and other uses. New polymers can also be developed into organic semiconductors based on the theory of photoluminescence. Organic semiconductors are energy efficient materials that replace traditional materials for a variety of applications. They can be used for producing electrical appliances including lighting system and displays of computers. Published in 2001, Prof Tang’s discovery of the novel phenomenon of aggregation induced emission (AIE) has provided a new direction for research and development of luminescent materials. Aggregation- quenched emission (AQE) has been a generally accepted theory, posing an obstacle in the development of luminescent molecules into technically useful materials. Prof Tang discovered the opposite phenomenon in which the aggregation of molecules induces emission, instead of quenching emission. The findings have inspired more scientific research on related topics, eliminating the obstacles on the way for developing luminescent molecules into specialty materials. Prof Zikang Tang A Man Who Stands Tall Behind the Smallest Nanotube The fabrication of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is one of the most important and fast-growing areas around the world in the field of nanotechnology. SWNTs exhibit extraordinary physical properties, leading to new research areas and novel applications. In 2000, Prof Zikang Tang and his colleagues took the lead to fabricate the world? smallest SWNTs using microporous zeolite single crystals as hosts. The SWNTs measured only 0.4 nm in diameter, or 75,000 times narrower than a single human hair, representing a theoretical limit for the size of a SWNT. That they are highly aligned and uniform in size is essential for future experimental investigation. A year later, Prof Tang and his team were the first to discover that below 15 degree K (absolute 0 degree K equals to -273 degree C) the 0.4 nm single-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit one-dimensional superconductivity. Prof Tang’s scientific breakthroughs have taken the scientific world by storm. The discoveries were recognized for paving the way for the exploration of carbon nanotubes optical and electrical properties and opening up tremendous prospects for nanotube applications. Carbon nanotubes can serve as building blocks for electronic devices, offering potential advantages in terms of size, cost and efficiency. Freed from administrative and teaching duties by the fellowship, Prof Tang will focus on the research on SWNTs. He and his team are working hard to break their own record by fabricating even smaller SWNTs. The motivation of our research is to shed light on unexplored areas of nano science, and to explore new properties and functions of the novel electronic systems for nano technology applications, said Prof Tang. P T Material science and nanotechnology are among the fastest-growing and most important research areas in the 21st century with a mission to bring betterment to human life.Two HKUST scientists whose research has advanced the theory and practice in these two areas are Prof Ben ZhongTang, Professor of Chemistry, and Prof ZikangTang, Professor of Physics. In March, both were awarded the Croucher Senior Research Fellowships.

Prof Zhang Mingjie of the Department of Biochemistry has spent over 10 years researching signaling in the brain. He was awarded the second prize of the National Nature Science Award for his discovery of how nitric oxide is produced -- a process significant to the understanding of the causes of stroke, for which there is currently no cure. Signaling in the brain is mediated by a diversity of neurotransmitters, explained Prof Zhang. Tied to these neurotransmitters are receptors and ion-channels that are organized into multi-protein complexes by scaffold proteins. Prof Zhang’s research looks into the structural and biochemical basis of how scaffold proteins organize brain cell signaling complexes. One particular scaffold protein being worked on is designated PSD-95. Researchers are also looking closely at the protein, nitric oxide synthase that produces nitric oxide, a gas molecule functioning as a messenger between brain cells under normal conditions. On balance, all are important for the normal functioning of the brain but when stroke occurs, loss of oxygen supply in the brain cells causes the production of massive amounts of nitric oxide that is toxic and in turn kills the brain cells. If the stroke victim does not receive treatment within 10 hours, the victim’s brain will suffer permanent damage. Understanding that PSD-95 and nitric oxide synthase need to come together to produce the nitric gas, Prof Zhang tried to find out ways to uncouple them in stroke conditions. He discovered that a man-made peptide can be used for uncoupling the two proteins. As the peptide cannot be taken by humans, Prof Zhang turned to the source of Chinese medicines for substitutes. Currently, there is no cure for stroke. But we believe that what we are doing will provide very important scientific findings for the development of potential stroke treatment, at least to alleviate but potentially to cure or reverse the effects of stroke, said Prof Zhang. There’s a long way to go and it needs many scientists, clinicians and drug companies to work together on this, he added.

Tony Eastham Vice President for Research & Development (Acting) Knowledge Transfer. Familiar words in themselves, but perhaps less familiar terminology when applied to universities. We normally speak of technology transfer. But knowledge transfer is broader and encompasses just about all that a university does. The three elements of education, research and service are woven into the fabric of HKUST and are inseparable. Knowledge transfer to society is the result. We have a responsibility to provide a good societal return-on-investment for the substantial public funding committed to HKUST each year. Education is number one. We must train students to the leading edge of their disciplines. We must provide them with both depth and breadth of knowledge, together with an ability to communicate effectively, and be creative, innovative, socially adept, team players, etc. Our graduates are the greatest agents for advancement in society. A university must strive to do great research - and I don’t distinguish between fundamental/ basic and applied, but prefer to think in terms of discipline-based and interdisciplinary research. We must engage both undergraduate and postgraduate students in this process for effective knowledge transfer. And we must publish our research in the leading disciplinary conferences and journals, thereby making the results of our research available to the rest of the world. We encourage faculty to engage in collaborative and contract research, perhaps facilitated by Hong Kong? Innovation & Technology Fund (ITF) and the new Research and Development Centres. We established HKUST R and D Corporation Ltd as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University back in 1992 to assist in the process of commercialization by contracting, licensing and incubation of start-up companies. Entrepreneurship is an important element of education. We need to open students eyes to the opportunities and the challenges of being an entrepreneur. Over the past eight years, we have introduced an entrepreneurship seminar series, committed space to an incubation facility, developed a joint degree program in Technology & Management, assisted 44 start-up companies and, more recently, developed three joint venture companies. So, to be effective in knowledge transfer, a university needs to get the right balance between education, research, publication, collaborative and contract R&D, intellectual property protection and licensing, and formation of start-up companies and joint ventures. We, at HKUST, are actively engaged in all elements of knowledge transfer and must continually strive to get the balance right to provide a societal return on public and private investment that is consistent with both international best practices and the needs of Hong Kong and the nation’s economy.

Two algorithms developed by HKUST Wireless Research Team and Huawei Technologies have been conditionally accepted for inclusion in international standards for the revolutionary 8022.22Wireless Regional Area Network(WRAN) system. The WRAN is one of the major commercial applications of Cognitive Radio. It is targeting long-range (~50 km) wireless access. The 802.22 WRAN system is being standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology. Prof Khaled Ben Letaief, Chair Professor and Head of the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at HKUST, said: HKUST is already a world leader in the core enabling technologies, such as microelectronics, software, and wireless communications. HKUST’s publications in IEEE electronic devices and wireless communications journals have been ranked among the top 5 in the world. The University’s research achievements will earn Hong Kong a major role in the emerging wireless communications market. Eureka ! - Our Search & Research 24 Two Algorithms Accepted for Inclusion in International Standards Invention of Intelligent Streaming Gateway Granted US Patent Prof Danny Tsang research enables efficient media delivery Prof Danny Tsang of the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, was granted a US patent last November for his innovative method and apparatus to enhance the performance of delivering multimedia data from a website server to a large number of Internet users. The invention called intelligent Streaming Gateway (ISG) with real-time computing algorithms was developed by Prof Tsang and his MPhil student, James She. ISG allows multiple users to receive a popular streaming media data from a single server with minimum bandwidth usage. The Internet infrastructure equipped with this invention can enable a larger number of users to perceive high-quality multimedia experiences from the emerging applications such as IPTV, IP-advertisement, e-learning, conferencing, etc. Prof Tsang and Mr She explained, ?hen ISGs are distributed at various Internet locations, they form an intelligent content delivery network for efficient media delivery. It is no longer necessary for a separate point-to-point unicast transmission from the media server, which leads to duplicated deliveries of the same media data stream.

Breakthrough Findings on Understanding Neurological Disorder Prof Nancy Ip (seated left) with her research team Prof Nancy Ip’s research team in the Department of Biochemistry has recently unraveled the essential role of cyclin dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) in the regulation of dendritic growth and synapse development through the modulation of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling and functions. These findings have important implications in delineating the precise mechanisms by which synapses, connections between neurons, are fine tuned to facilitate learning and memory formation. More importantly, their observations may prove insightful for the development of therapeutic treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease where memory formation is impaired. Their discoveries were recently published in Nature Neuroscience, PLoS Biology and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), prestigious journals in the field of neuroscience and molecular biology. Their findings were highlighted in the Journal of Cell Biology and Alzheimer Research Forum. They were also invited to review the important role of Cdk5 in synapse function in Neuron and Biotechnology Journal. In their studies, Prof Ip and her team revealed the pivotal role of Cdk5 in the regulation of dendrite growth and morphogenesis of spines, protrusions on dendritic processes where most excitatory synapses are located. Neuronal architecture and the location of spine growth are important determining factors of how connections among neurons are wired in the nervous system. Regulation of dendrite growth and spine morphology is guided by a number of extracellular cues. Remarkably, Prof Ip and her team discovered that Cdk5 is required for the induction of dendritic growth and spine retraction induced by extracellular cues brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and ephrinA1, respectively. Since dendrite and spine morphology contributes to determining the strength of synaptic connections, findings from Prof Nancy Ip's team implicate Cdk5 in the regulation of learning and memory through their actions on dendrite and spine growth. As a highly accomplished researcher, Prof Ip has published more than 160 scientific papers and holds 15 patents. She is the editor-in-chief of NeuroSignals and serves on the editorial boards of several international journals, including the Journal of Neuroscience and the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Prof Ip has garnered many awards and honors for her scientific contributions. Most recently, she was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Sciences, by her alma mater, Simmons College.

HKUST staged a Dive off - Clean up - Chip in event on Sunday, 3 June 2007 to help clean up the seabed off its campus. It was a sunny morning for scuba diving. About 50 faculty members, students, and alumni took the plunge to help clean up the underwater and coastal areas off the campus. In doing so , they also raised funds for the public education program of the Coastal Marine Laboratory at HKUST. For this event, President Paul Chu had been undergoing vigorous scuba training during weekends to get his diving certification as a qualified scuba diver. Vice President Roland Chin also took part in this meaningful event. President Paul Chu bravely made his maiden plunge and surfaced after 30 minutes with a bag full of trash. The rotten cables, plastic bottles, carpets and mobile chargers did not interfere with President Chu’s enjoyment of the beautiful coral and sea cucumbers while underwater. Encouragingly, over HK$500,000 was raised in donations for the Laboratory. The money will help the Coastal Marine Laboratory to achieve its goal of showcasing its magnificent collection to the public, and in particular primary and secondary school students. Prof Qian Pei-yuan, Director of the Coastal Marine Laboratory, said, The laboratory has more varieties of local marine life than the Ocean Park. In the category of bacteria alone, its has more than 1,000 samples. Our next generation needs education to learn more about the beauty of our marine world and how to protect it Prof Qian said.

5 錢大康一席話 錢大康教授答「三三四。十問 目前過度到2012年實行四年大學本科制,香港的大學來說， 重大的挑戰 副校長(學術)首席副校長錢大康教授 嶄新學制 應變準備

同創：大學本科由三年改為四年，所增加的一年，作用何在 錢教授：問題的關鍵，並不在於多一年進行教與學；也不在於 學生早一年入大學、少唸一年預科。所增加的一年，我們須從 學生學習的角度，重新思考整個學習過程。換言之，新增的一 年，是本科生四年學習過程整體的一部分，今次大學本科制度 的改革，是根本性、整體性，而非僅是增量的問題。 同創：當你思考制訂四年制課程時，有甚麼指導原則 錢教授：我們會衡量社會對大學畢業生究竟有甚麼期望。大家 顯然樂見大學畢業生在選讀的專科上，專業知識豐富，同時具 批判性的思考能力、見識廣博，視野廣闊，對社會也有承檐。 換言之，我們盼望學生在科大得到全人教育，才德兼備。 同創：落實全人教育的理念，會怎樣做 錢教授：舉例來說，一名工程學生，我們不會視他僅為一名工 程師，只懂得工程專業，而是一個有識見的人，也具備經濟與 財務的知識，懂得理解公司的年報，明白該企業的營運狀況； 關心及了解國際事務亦能夠睿智地，討論對香港社會最有 利的民主制度；甚至可以與朋友暢談法國晝家保羅‧塞尚 （Paul CeZanne）的油晝，縱論有意參加明年美國總統選舉的 Barack Obama的政綱。 同創：這對學生的要求是否很高 義教授：在今天全球化的社會，對大學畢業生的要求只會有多 無少。他們不僅是專家，同時澴是有廣博知識的通才，亦積極 終身學習”。精於數理推論、邏輯思考、掌握溝通技巧，也有文 化修養。這顯然就是本科生四年學習的目標。 同創：除此之外，新四年制課程與目前的課程，還有甚麼不同 之處？ 錢教授：四年制大學課程在第一年便要開始自學，專注研究 和科研習作項目，培養自學的習慣和技巧。大學新生未決定主 修科目前，可以自由選課，以便發掘出自身的興趣和長處，這 是培育學生成才的不二法門。 同創：請問如何提升學生的文化素養7 錢教授：我們開設講授不同文化知識的必修課程。由於科大國 際化的深度和廣度不斷加強，學生和教授來自五湖四海，因 此，我們亦會把多種文化的知識，融匯到課程和校園生活裡， 本地學生與海外學生可以經常接觸，互動交流。四年大學制， 每名本科生都有機會到海外交流，或者到外地實習。 同創：學生課外活動的情況又如何 錢教授：課外活動課程一定會加強，部分會在校園外進行，例 如海外學習及實習的課程。此外，若干課外活動會帶有社區服 務的性質，例如，理科學生可協助內地的村莊築橋搭路；商 學生可到社區中心，教導長者學習英語。 同創：跨學科是專上教育的教學大趨勢。請問在將來的四年制 大學課程裡，跨學科的發展空間如何2 務教授：兩年前，當我們制訂2005一2020策略發展計劃時。已 計劃成立一個跨學科學院。跨學科的訓練，有助學生解決現實 生活中的多層面問題。舉例來說，討論健康和生物醫學，必然 觸及空氣污染；空氣污染又涉及電力生產，以至連帶到化學 工程與財務等一系列問題。 同創：然而，很多教授都只攻讀並專長於某一學科 錢教授：這的確是一個挑戰。我們需要群策群力，透過不同學 系或學科的專家，合力制訂課程，以克服困難；我們亦可以由 多位教授組成教授團，指導學生。我們的教授胸懷廣闊，樂意 接受新事物，我肯定科大能夠為學生提供優秀的跨學科課程。 同創：’三三四。學制如何協助香港發展成為地區教育樞紐 教教授：全球的大學，從亞洲、歐洲到美國都進行自我更新。 中東產油富國如今明白到，優秀的人力資源遠比石油資源重 要，成為推動經濟增長和社會進步的動力，所以毫不吝嗇將石 油收益，源源不斷注入大學教育。不少亞洲國家亦這樣做，以 推動該國發展成為知識型社會。 香港八所獲政府資助的大學，共有43,500名本科生，不足4000 名教授，我們要想在這個基礎上，發展成為地區教育樞紐，難 度很大，甚至對培育人才，去推動向知識型社會發展，也有人 才不足之虞。要解決難題，實行大學四年制，無疑是走對了一 步。

6 香港我們的家 科大首創為馬拉松沿途監測空氣質量 每年一度的香港渣打馬拉松比賽，已於3月4日圓滿結束，科大研製的本港首個 大氣監測走航平台，獲遨參與這頊盛事，沿途 測量空氣質量，讓主辦機構能夠第一時間掌握 沿途空氣質素的狀況，據此向參賽者提供警 示，開創了馬拉松比賽沿途作空氣質素量度 的世界先河。 這個大氣監測走航平台設於一部客貨車上，於 2000年製成 香港賽馬會慈善信託基金 撥款1，230萬港 貿助研製。才回 這是有史以來，馬拉松比賽首次利用流動和實 時的儀器監測空氣質量。由於平台是流動的， 又是實時的，故較固定監測站優勝。平台能夠 邊走邊測，搜集不同時段和路段的連續數據， 有助分析空氣污染物的分佈及擴散情況。 該平台的其中一位研創者，科大化學工程學系 副教授陳澤強博士於賽事後表示，當日平台運 作良好，整個空氣監測過程十分順利。平台錄 得的空氣污染物數據給予主辦單位很高的參考 價值。 全球首個自動化魚炮捕魚偵測系統 在香港，使用魚炮（俗稱炸魚）捕魚是違法 行為，但至今仍有漁民採用這種方法捕 魚，破壞海洋生態。科大學者多年來與世界自 然基金會和關注海洋生態團體「聽海」保育組織 緊密合作，研製出全球首個「自動化魚炮捕魚 偵測系統」，現放置在基金會位於西貢海下灣 的海洋生物中心的水域，以偵測「炸魚。行為。 基金會聯同科大和聽海保育組織於3月14日舉 行了新聞發布會，首次公布該系統的偵測結 果。從去年11月至今年2月短短三個月期間， 偵測系統共錄得八次炸魚紀錄，情況嚴重。 科大設計與製造服務所項目經理李耀輝博士指 出，利用魚炮捕魚，所得的魚穫不多，而且會 炸死其他海底生物、破壞珊瑚組織，希望漁民 不要用這種得不償失的方法捕魚。他亦希望數 據能賽助政府有關部門正視這個問題，加強執 法。 科大及保育團安裝自動化魚炮捕魚偵測系統

7 無形的寶藏一非物質文化遺產 保護文物備受公眾關注。除了有形的文 物外，無形的傳統習俗及節慶活動， 如舞火龍、舞獅、粵劇等，都是文化遺產， 應予以保護。科大人文學部接受香港政府委 託，觀察及紀錄非物質文化遺產在本港傳承 及實施的情況。 由於中國是聯合國《保護非物質文化遺產國 際公約》的締約國之一，內地各省已開始編 製文物清單。廣東省編製的清單，已列出約 80項非物質文化遺產。負責該項研究的科大 人文學部副教授廖迪生博士指出，科大研究 小組將會以廣東省清單作為藍本，核對清單 中項目在本港的傳承情況。 廖博士指出，非物質文化遺產，與地方社會 有密切關係，包括傳統習俗、求生技能、藝 術、宗教活動等。隨著社會日益都市化，保 護源遠流長的文化遺產更為重要。由於社 會都市化，傳統行業式微，有很多傳統手藝 有失傳之虞。例如我們熟悉的大澳漁村，漁 民賴以維生的捕魚技術、織網、計算潮水漲 退等知識。都是珍貴的傳統智慧，值得我們 妥善保存。」 雖然香港不少傳統習俗與廣東十分接近，但 由於歷史發展軌跡不同，香港發展出具備獨 特風格的傳統。廖博士解釋：「內地曾有一 段時間禁絕宗教祭祀活動，反而香港在殖民 政府的管治下，有舉辦這類活動的自由，間 接造就了保護傳統文化的機會。例如。地 方人士在宗教節慶中大宴親朋，漸漸發展出 有特色的盤菜；離島舉行的太平清醮，歷時 代變遷而不衰‧其中的飄色巡行別具特色。 負責研究的人文學部副教授張兆和博士表 示，研究組已完成約七成核對清單的工作， 但文化遺產的取捨、紀錄形式、以至保護及 傳承工作，還需要深入討論及探索。廖博士 認為，政府為了制訂完善的文物保護政策， 應多聽取地方社群及專家的意見。此外，為 了教導青少年欣賞地方風俗，提高保護文物 的意識，科大也積極推廣文物教育。 科大人文學部對地方文化研究建樹良多。廖 教授曾致力研究西重地方社會歷史文化。由 他領導的華南研究中心，亦以搜羅珠三角民 間文獻為主要工作，為該地區保留完整的歷 史檔案。

8 科大首次普通話水平測試成績理想 由於普通話愈來愈受重視，科大去年與國家語言文字工作委員會（國家語委）普通 話培訓測試中心簽訂了合作協議。今年3月中 旬，科大舉行了首期普通話水平測試。參加測 試的87名科大學生、職員，入等率高達94％， 其中被確認為一級、二級、三級普通話水平 的應試者，比例分別佔1379％、1724％和 6322％，成績理想。主持是次測試的科大普通 話教師譚成珠女士指出，「朗讀短文」是考生感 覺最困難的部分，因為應試者的語感不強，朗 讀語氣、節奏都受廣東話影響。譚老師建議應 試時切記不要焦急，慢慢讀，平常要多聽多 講，留心普通話的語調。 深圳北京大學香港科大醫學中心奠基 深圳北京大學香港科技大學醫學中心於今 年1月26日，舉行教學樓奠基典禮，標 誌了香港科大與內地合作夥伴進一步加強教研 合作。 三方合作始於1999年8月。香港科技大學與北 京大學、深圳市政府成立一個合作項目——深 港產學研基地，以培養高層次專業人才及建立 科研與創新基地，醫學中心是其中一個合作部 分。 科大副校長（行政）黃玉山教授表示，通過深圳 市政府、北京大學及科大三方的合作，醫學中 心致力成為一個醫學的教研重地。教學樓不僅 提供空間，更重要是三方可以加強合作和互 動。當醫學中心教學大樓落成後，可以為醫學 教育和科研，提供先進的設備，進行教研及研 究與發展；以更強大的實力，拓展更廣闊的發 展前景。

9 祖國-我們的根 推廣數字生活的先鋒 現代人生活離不開數碼化產品，如電腦、手機、互聯網，數碼播放器。若 數碼設備, 工作效率, 便利, 樂趣 香港科技大學霍英東研究院數字生活研究 中心主任、計算機科學及工程系系主任 倪明選教授指出，科大在資訊科技方面的研 究，躋身世界前列，然而在進行技術轉移及產 業化方面，未能完全發揮潛力。中心的成立， 可將科大在資訊科技領域傑出的研究，再配 合研究院的優秀教研條件，發展成為數碼技術 轉移及產業化的一流平台。 他解釋：「內地既有寬廣的研究與應用空間， 亦有優秀的人才，而且南沙位處珠三角的中 心點，工廠林立，可以更有效及亙接地向廠商 展示研究成果。 該中心副主任、計算機科學及工程系副教授張 黔博士表示，中心現正進行四個研發項目，包 括利用手機作為通用控制器、有效創建自組織 網絡、有效無線網絡管理及手機為遠程家庭 監控，應用範疇廣泛，牽涉家居生活、娛樂 消閒、商業管理、以至醫療診斷等。 其中兩個項目會作公開示範，為推出市場做準 備。第一個方案，是利用手機作為電腦的遙程 控制器，無論身處何方，只要手機在手，便可 隨時與電腦以及各種智能家電連線，指揮其進 行相關操作。 第二個方案，是自組織網絡的技術。用家可透 過任何數碼設備，如手機、手提電腦等，在沒 有任何預先建設的網絡設備支援下，隨時隨地 自行組織網絡，方便安排會議、尋找網上遊戲 夥伴等。張黔博士笑說：’夫婦逛街時，太太 四處購物，丈夫就可以利用這個技術，隨時找 到網上遊戲夥伴，站在一旁打遊戲機解悶。

凱洛格一科大EMBA課程十周年論壇 凱洛格一科大EMBA課程為慶祝開辦十周年，特於5月在香 港舉辦十周年論壇，18位知名學者以「邁向未來十年。為 題，從企業及個人的角度，向與會者傳授面對未來十年挑戰的 錦囊妙計。逾200名商界領袖‧學考、資深教授及本科學生踴 躍出席論壇。 論壇由香港特區政府前財政司司長、現任政務司司長唐英年先 生主持開幕。出席論壇的主講嘉賓，還包括國際暢銷書《全新 思維》（A Whole New Mind）作者丹尼爾平克（Daniel Pink）、東亞 銀行主席李國寶先生及凱洛格管理學院院長 (Daniel Pink)教授。香 港科大校長朱經武教授、凱洛格管理學院榮休院長Don Jacobs 教授及科大商學院前任院長陳家強教授，一起主持開幕禮。 論壇包括兩場專題論壇，講者為怡和集團常務董事黎定基先 生、Crown Worldwide主席詹康信先生、凱洛格管理學院Ranjav Gulati教授、香港科大商學院王嘉陵教授、聯邦快遞亞太區總 裁David Cunningham先生 香港賽馬會前行政總裁黃至剛博士 及華爾街日報香港分社社長石軒宇先生。 凱洛格管理學院的Ranjay Gulati教授及Lakshman Krishnamurth教 授，及香港科大商學院戴啟思教授（Prof Steven DeKrey）分別主 講不同專題，與大家分享各自的研究心得和觀點。 政務司司長、前財政司司長唐英年先生主持開幕

11 傑出作家挑戰全球化理論 全球化浪潮席捲世界 在香港，有關的討 論和研究相當普遍。今年3月中，來自 加拿大的著名作家、哲學家 Dr John Raiston Saul，卻在香港這個高度全球化的城市，挑戰 全球化的理念，今一群了解全球化理論的社會 精英、學者及學生，得到刺激思考的機會。 在科大及Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival合辦的研討會上，Dr Saul與大家分享他 的獨特理念。他強調全球化理論已與時代脫 節。在50至70年代，全球化理論盛極一時，當 時，科技日新月異、經濟與貿易的跨國界發 展，成為社會發展的關鍵因素。當時，這些討 論十分詳盡。不過，Dr SaU認為目前全球化理 論的討論內容，已越來越模糊，並逐漸與經濟 及社會發展脫節。 Dr Saul指出。論者曾強調，全球化會帶來各種 有利全球發展的因素，例如競爭增加、嶄新的 貿易模式及民族主義式微等。但事實卻不然， 民族主義死灰復燃；合併及收購盛行，削弱 競爭。全球政府不僅沒有努力推動各國間的自 由化，反而利用科技鞏固城牆，扭曲資訊，甚 至控制人民的活動。 各個強國對全球化的反應，反映了出全球化理 論，並沒有得到大國的真心支持。以全球化理 論發源地之一的英國來說，最近所提出有關反 恐及維護英國經濟利益的政策條款，本質上是 反全球化的。在明年舉行的美國總統選舉中， 所有候選人或多或少都有反對全球化的政策主 張。 Dr SauJ強調，全球經濟正處於混沌狀態，欠缺 明確發展方向。他警告，各國應關注全球收購 合併的趨勢，此舉對於全球經濟所帶來的不 良影響。他指出，併購只助長大企業擴大控 制範圍，卻無益於增強競爭。他說：’雖然有 關貿易數據大幅飄升，但全球財富卻沒有相應 的增長。國際商業顧問所提供的數據顯示， 在美國超過一半的收購合併，並沒有帶來新的 經濟動力。 全球化理論已經不合時宜

12 科大與紐大合辦金融碩士課程 科大商學院與美國紐約大學stern商學院， 於3月宣布合辦環球金融理學碩士課程， 雙方已就有關合作協議簽署備忘錄，並邀請前 財經事務及庫務局局長馬時享出席簽約儀式。 課程將於本年11月開班。 科大一Stern環球金融碩士課程為期一年，採 取兼讀模式，學員主要在香港科大校園上課， 但修讀期間亦需赴紐約Stern商學院校園，參與 三個學習單元。成功修畢課程，將獲兩所大學 頒發証書。 這是stern商學院首次與一家亞洲院校合辦課 程。Stern商學院院長Thomas Cooley教授表示， 很希望透過這個課程，在香港及紐約這兩個主 要的環球金融都會，培育商界領袖。 陳家強教授 三大學跨洲合作共拓計算機科學前沿 枓大與德國卡爾斯魯大學（Universitat Karlsruhe）及美國卡內基大學（Carnegie Mellon University）今年2月初簽訂協議，加強學 術台作和交流。來自三大洲著名大學組成「鐵 三角」，協力發展研究和教學計劃，共同拓展 有關計算機科技和通訊技術的前沿研究。 科大校長朱經武教授、卡爾斯魯大學校長Prof Horst Hipper和卡內基大學校長Prof Jared L Cohon （由國際發展處長Prof Gene Hambrick代表），於 2月1日共同簽訂協議，展開加強學術合作新一 頁。卡爾斯魯大學為德國頂尖的研究型大學， 而卡內基大學則為美國重點大學，以電腦科學 著稱。今次三所來自三大洲的世界一流大學簽 訂三邊合作協議，別具意義。 根據協定，三校將成立中心，協力發展研究和 教學計劃，並就計算機科技和通訊技術方面的 研究加強合作。

13 大家庭內談 謙謙玉樹 臨風揮手 科大送別創校功臣陳玉樹教授 陳玉樹教授是西方財務學的頂尖學者，亦有中國傳統文人 溫柔敦厚的氣質。用文字來形容他，往往教人下筆無從。 陳玉樹教授令我想起一句成語——大巧若拙。在我們45分鐘的 訪談中，他顯得非常平和，沒有誇誇其談他只是以他談話裡 所蘊含的力量，靜靜地佔據。了你的潛意識——你開始感到 坐在你面前的，是一個擁有鐵一般的意志‧只肯用行動展示實 力的人。 身裁修長，樣貌年輕的陳教授，大器早成，36歲已經成為加州 大學財務學系的講座教授。他受聘成為科大商學院創校院長 時，在行政和管理方面的經驗尚未突出——吸引科大向他招手 的，是對教研的徹底追求。 他就任後，首先為科大商學院設立了一個客觀、公正而又開放 的制度。這個制度足以令全世界的學術精英一見傾心而肯「自 投羅網」，今人拍案叫好。 另一個由他創立而在當時可說是高瞻遠矚的做法，是他敢於 「反其道而行」，把學術研究放於首位，使科大立於不敗之地。 跟著，陳教授乘勝追擊，為本地及環球企業的高級行政人員， 開辦管理課程，而其首個「技驚四座。的傑作，就是在國際間 早已打響了名堂、學術地位為全亞洲之冠的凱洛格一科大 EMBA課程。在短短數年間，這個課程已位列全球最佳EMBA課 程十大之內，最佳排列第二，目前排行第三。凱洛格一科大 EMBA課程的質素，早已為同儕所認同，並被視為同類課程的 典範。 陳教授回憶他在設立商學院的早期，經常要四處「撲火。而疲 於奔命。現在，撲火的日子已離他很遠，商學院在確立了它的 國際地位之餘，學院的內務運作，亦早已上了軌道。 陳教授對科大的影響，深而且遠，遠超於他作為科大商學院院 長的身份。近年，他肩負起科大副校長（學術）的職務，用他 遠大的眼光和內斂的智慧，今科大的教音質素，再上一層樓。 一間機構的命運，往往與一部份精英繫在一起——從這個角度 來看，香港科技大學何其幸運，能夠從千萬人中，尋覓得陳 教授，委以重任，讓他協助孕育尚在繈褓中的科大，直至它茁 壯成長——而在整個過程裡，陳教授像神乎其技般，今科大和 商學院沖霄而起之餘，自己也晉身成為科大極受尊敬的領導核 心。 當我們請陳教授追溯科大早期的成功因素，他毫不猶疑，認為 科大的成功因素只有兩個——景願清晰及熱情投入。 陳教授要離開科大，並接受另一更具挑戰性的任務——嶺南大 學校長。嶺大之得是科大之失。我們在他離別科大之際，除了 感到不捨外，在此謹迭上最誠摯的祝福——祝陳教授在嶺大鴻 圖大展、工作愉快。 陳玉樹教授帶領科大與聯手培育資訊科技人才

14 陳顯邦教授喜發揮披荊斬棘精神 科大物理系講座教授及科大持續進修學院院長陳顯邦教授 於今年6月榮休。他自科大創校時已加盟，擔任物理學系 創系系主任，在其後的17年間，先後檐任多項要職，帶領新成 立的部門開展新計劃，對推動科大發展，貢獻良多。陳教授 勇於創新和突破的精神，誠為傑出學者及領袖的典範。 陳教授在1990年加入科大前，於美國阿爾巴尼的紐約州大學執 教凡15年。不過，他毅然放下如日中天的事業，遠渡來港做 開荒，目的是為了參與建立一所世界一流學府。陳教授回 想，當時要在一年內籌備開辦物理學系的課程，由聘請人才、 構思課程到建立實驗室，他都親力親為。當時最大的挑戰，莫 過於為學系建立主要的研究方向c 陳教授選物料物理作為主要研究領域。科大物理學系經過十多 年的發展，在上述研究領域表現卓越。不過，他謙虛地表示， 物理學系之所以成功，全賴科大同仁的衷誠合作，管理層又給 他很大的發展自由度。 陳教授不僅致力於教學行政，亦孜孜不倦推動學生學習。有鑒 於大班教學不利於師生互動，在1997年，他成功發展全球第一 個「易答靈J互動系統。加強教師了解學生的學習進度。易答 靈系統甚受歡迎，在多個學系、機構，甚至海外被廣泛使用。 陳教授在前同事協助下，成立EduCue LLC，專門向全世界推廣 這個系統。 EduCue LLC的成立，標誌陳教授參與科學技術轉移及產業化的 第一步。他是少數成功將創新技術產業化的教授之一，曾參與 成立多間公司，從事多種科學技術及研究產業化。 陳教授勇於在各個工作範疇，面對挑戰和困難，開拓未知的領 域，有時會冒險成功，有時會遭受挫敗。不過，他仍然享受做 「領頭羊。的過程。他說：「任何改變有風險，也有機會；我喜 歡視改變為機會，這樣會令我活力充沛，感覺良好。我喜歡鼓 勵別人，推動別人，一同促進機構成長。每天我都謹記處世格 言，就是：處事要公平、對人要公道及終身學習。我會不斷學 習，積極和別人溝通，因為這樣才能夠與時俱進，了解別人的 需要。 陳顯邦教授科大持續進修學院金鐘教學中心開幕禮上致辭 全球首個易答靈互動系統

15 又上一層樓 推動高新科技創美好未來 材料科學及納米技術是廿一世紀兩大科學前沿領域，發展一日千里，究診域，表現 研究推動基礎研究與應用的發展 裘槎基金優秀科研獎 化學系唐本忠教授 推動新材料的發展與創新 物理系湯子康教授 教學及行政職務

唐本忠教授 推動高新科技創美好未來 推動新材料的發展與創新 新材料的發展與創新能推動社會發展，改善人類生活—— 這一直是唐本忠教授的信念。唐教授致力新材料研究。 他的學術工作，主要集中在以三鍵炔烴化學為中心的新高分 子研究領域，并利用三銬炔烴合成的新聚合物材料，突破現時 常用的塑膠材料的局限，具有優異的光、電‧磁及生物功能的 新型高分子材料，應用潛力廣泛。舉例說，新娶合物可發展 成為金屬書代品，用作傳輸電力，比金屬傳輸的成本更為便 宜。 唐教授又利用光致發光的原理，將新型高分子材料發展成為可 發光的有機半導體，這些材料在工業上用途十分廣泛。例如， 有機半導體可發展成為照明系統，也可取代電腦的液晶顯示屏 幕，達到節省能源的效果。 唐教授在2001年發表的「聚集誘導J的理論，打破學界一直堅 信的「聚集淬滅。理論，為發光材料的發展帶來突破。「聚集淬 滅J是指發光分子在哥集狀態中變弱甚至完全不發光，因而影 響發光分子開發成為發光材料。唐教授卻首度發現相反的現 象，發光分子在聚集狀態中，仍可高效發光。他的研究所展示 的嶄新方向，吸引不少專家加入有關研究行列，也為發光分子 發展成為先進材料，掃除障礙。 唐教授靈活運用「聚集誘導」理論，發展新實用材料。例如， 他曾經與電子工程學者台作，發展高效能的二極發光體。他最 近的研究發現，螢光分子及聚集誘導分子，有潛力發展成為理 想的檢測材料，可用於檢測水質及生物檢測等用途。唐教授一 直熱愛研究1作，他深信獲獎今他今後更專注於研究，爭取更 多科研突破。 湯子康教授 研製全球最細單璧納米碳管的功臣 單壁納米碳管的研究，是納米科學最重要及快速發展的研 究領域之一。單壁納米碳管具有特殊的物理特性，開創 新研究領域及嶄新的應用前景。 2000年，湯教授與他的同事，利用多孔的沸石晶體作載體，首 次研製出直徑只有0.4納米（即比頭髮幼75，000倍），為全球最 細，也接近理論的極限。他們所研製的碳管，具備尺寸一致、 排列整齊的特質，為未來探索碳管更多特質的研究，提供有用 的樣本，促使碳納米管的研究，向前邁進一大步，創出更廣闊 的前景。 翌年，湯教授等再接再厲，進一步發現超細納米碳管新的電學 特性。他的研究小組發現，單壁納米碳管在絕對溫度15度（絕 對溫度零度為攝氏零下273度）以下，呈現出特殊的一維超導 特性。 該兩項突破性的研究成果，為納米材料研究開展新里程，備受 學術界推崇。為將來進一步探索碳納米管的光學及電學特性奠 下新基礎，並擴闊碳納米管的應用前景。碳納米管可研製成為 更細小更具效率、更高能源效益的電子器件。 湯教授希望日後可花更多時間及精神，專注於碳納米管的研 究。他和他的同事正努力挑戰自己所保持的紀錄，研製出更細 的碳納米管。他說：「我們渴望探究納米科學未知的領域，盼 從中得到啟發；同時在納米科技應用的層面上， 探索創新電子系統的新特性和功能。」 出全球最細的

16 勞敏慈博士改善丹麥 污染地下水源獲國際獎 香港科技大學士木工程學系副教授勞敏慈博士的研究，改 善丹麥國內一處污染地下水源，使她榮獲一國際獎項。 勞博士和她的前博士研究生，聯同丹麥的研究合作夥伴，獲美 國土木工程師學會頒發2007 Samuel Arnold Greeley Award，以 表揚勞教授和她的研究小組，在《環境工程學報》上，共同發 表的「去氯化有機物的可滲透反應場的實地監察。研究論文。 該獎自1968年成立至今，只有三位華人獲此殊榮，勞敏慈博士 是其中一人。頒獎禮已於今年5月15日舉行。 勞博士表示，獲頒這個國際獎項，我感到十分榮幸。這次研 究為香港和丹麥兩地提供一個十分珍貴的學術交流機會。 勞博士除了研究成就卓越，她在教學領域同樣表現出色。她於 2006年獲科大頒發祁敖卓越教學服務獎章。這個獎項每年頒給 熱愛教學、啟發和激勵學生的科大模範教師。 勞敏參博士應用追蹤研究的方名，在”可滲透反應場上的突破性研究，成功將丹麥一塊淤積污染地下水的土地除淨

17 張明傑為中風病人帶來希望 科大生物化學系張明傑教授，獲頒中國科學界最高榮譽 國家自然科學獎。二等獎，以表揚他的傑出研究成 就。他成功闡釋腦細胞訊息傳遞的過程，為治療諸如中風之 類的神經退化疾病的藥物開發，提供了研發基礎。目前醫學界 未有治療中風的藥物。 中風是都市常見的疾病，雖不一定導致死亡，但由於患者中風 時腦部缺氧導致腦細胞死亡而未能重生，使患者有機會癱 瘓。因此，治療或抒緩中風的關鍵，是阻止腦細胞死亡。 張教授的研究，在阻止腦細胞死亡方面提供理論指引。他主要 研究腦部訊息傳遞的機制，藉此揭示有關蛋白的功能及運作， 以助了解中風的成因，從而找出治療的方法。 張教授和他的研究小組特別關注兩種蛋白分子——PSD－95構 架蛋白和一氧化氮合成亟。一氧化氮合成隨可產生氣體分子 一氧化氮。在正常情況下，一氧化氮是腦細胞之間的信使，在 平衡狀態下，所有這些蛋白分子對腦部的正常運作十分重要。 然而，若出現中風，腦細胞因缺氧而產生大量有害的一氧化 氮，並反過來把腦細胞殺死。如果在10小時內不妥善處理，病 人的腦部很可能永久受損害。 因此，張教授想辦法阻截腦部因缺氧而源源產生有害的一氧化 氮。經過努力研究，他發現一種人造蛋白—肽可以產生 有效的阻截作用。 張教授指出：「我相信，我的研究可以為發展中風治療法， 提供重要的科學根據；不過，由基本研究 發展成為治療方法，尚有一大段路 要走，當中需要其他科學家醫學家及藥廠之間衷誠合作。 張明傑教授為中風病人帶來希望 國家自然科學獎二等獎

Genesis - HKUST Newsletter Culture Fiesta – Bringing you the World's Culture Campus Safety Slogan Design Competition

On the evening of April 26th, hundreds of local and international students gathered at the University Center for the first ever "Culture Fiesta", organized by NAUTY (eNjoy the pleAsUres of diversiTY) and IMSPO (International and Mainland Students and Programs Office). NAUTY, a student organization which creates fun events to promote on-campus diversity, and the International and Mainland Students and Programs Office decided to plan an event to bring together local and international students while enhancing awareness of different cultures. This led to the concept of "Culture Fiesta".

The two-part event took off with an exhibition of Cultural Booths from around the world. As students mingled through the booths, they were able to sample food and drinks from around the world, served by enthusiastic, costumed representatives of NAUTY. Whether it was Pakistani desserts, French cheese, or Thai noodles, there was plenty of variety for everyone to try. Visually, each booth was brightly decorated to represent the region. The highlight of Culture Fiesta was a program of performances to show the diverse talents of HKUST students. An hour of performances included the likes of a magic show, hip hop by the Dance society, Japanese martial arts, Indian dancing, music by the Chinese Folk Orchestra Society, and Filipino bamboo dancing. To top off the night, an exciting "Around the World" fashion show concluded the performances. Participants, including students, staff, and faculty, enjoyed themselves immensely and were reluctant to leave as the night's festivities ended. The success of Culture Fiesta could not have happened without the hard work of dedicated students that believe the international diversity at HKUST should be celebrated. IMSPO and NAUTY would like to thank everyone for their hard work and to all the participants for coming out to the event.
