Prometheus In TheSky INNOVATING TOOAY IMAGINING TOMORROW tt · tt •;;c* HKUST Speech created thought, Science struck th' thrones of earth and Which shooK'., not: and the harmonious Foreword Prometheus in the Sky As the University is celebrating its 25th anniversary We have the pleasure to present our Commemorative Book that contains 25 stories of our accomplishments as examples of what the University has been doing, creating lasting impact for tomorrow. The title of the book Prometheus in the Sky is derived from Percy Bysshe Shelley's idealist Prometheus Unbound, which conveys the morals of altruism, cou rage, innovation, and care for society. Prometheus was described as the one who tamed fire for humankind, generated curiosity in science, aroused study of medicine to save lives and gave humans language for better communication and knowledge. In celebrating the 25th anniversary of the University, the title echoes its core spirit as a science and technology university with a global vision and local commitment. We selected 25 stories from multiple HKUST researchers from all four schools. members of senior management. and some alumni. Each story was vetted and selected by the Committee which has taken into account a number of factors including academic interest. societal impact. readability, etc. These stories may have already been reported by the media but are recast here in a new context. A list of the protagonists in these stories and their backgrounds are mentioned at the end of the book. Other than those featured in the stories, there are understandably many more individuals who are as outstanding and influential but are not covered due to limited space. Nevertheless. we have str ived to select topics that reflect the University's diversi ty in accomplishments as well as personal backgrounds of the individuals involved. We have also chosen to present these 25 stories w ith plenty of visual imagery to help envision the context and enhance ,t for the viewing pleasure of the reader. Many pictures are original work photographed for this Commemorative Book. They are not only accompaniments to the stories but also represent a celebration of our beautiful campus. its spectacular setting tn Clear Water Bay, and Hong Kong as our home. It is our hope that you will enjoy this book as much as we did whilst creating it.

This is where possibilities begin. Now in 2016, our University celebrates its 25th Anniversary. We are still young as universities go, but our achievements r ival many of the top mature universities in the world. A special vote of thanks must go to the University's founding members, all the colleagues under successive leadership, our first and key community supporter - The Hong Kong Jockey Club. and all other benefactors, for their unswerving support all along. It is their vision, determination, and dedication that gave birth to HKUST as it is today. That was followed by endeavors and commitment of the staff, students and faculty, as well as Council and Court members in ensuing years. br inging HKUST to continue to soar in academic excellence, global presence and reputation in all aspects. All through 2016, HKUST has been celebrating its 25th birthday: We welcomed guests and the spirited university community to a celebration banquet in mid-June; we held a 2-day inaugural Times Higher Education Asia Universities Summit right after the banquet; we organized four satellite alumni celebration events in London, San Francisco. Beijing, and Singapore; we launched a Distinguished Speakers Series which brought in 25 Nobel Laureates, prominent scholars and business leaders to our campus; we encouraged student participation in social responsibility activities; we initiated a university-wide mentorship program for local high school students; we had other programs onganized by students and staff and faculty all through the year; and we successfully raised over HK$1 billion for infrastructural projects and research and student support initiatives. As a finale to this celebration, we offer you this Commemorative Book. It does not capture all the accomplishments of all the people in our short history, but it is an attempt to give you a sense of the richness and inspirations of the brilliant minds of HKUST. We hope that by reading some of these articles, you will appreciate how proud we are of our University, and how enthusiastic we are in tackling the challenges ahead. Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Editorial Committee for their dedication and unwavering support in making this Commemorative Book come true.

The causes of AD are poorty understood. One long- standing theory has been that its development is driven by the clumping of a protein called beta-amyloid in the brain to form plaques. But alter decades of research and the results of clinical drug trials on drug candidates specifica lly targeting these plaques, it has become apparent that amyloid may not be the sole factor causing memory loss and other cognitive symptoms that accompany the disease. Prof Nancy Ip, Dean of Science and The Morningside Professor of Life Science at HKUST, has spent more than two decades investigating neurodegenerative diseases and is one of several researchers at HKUST who are elucidating the underlying causes of the devastating symptoms of AD.

Decoding Alzheimer's indeed, the protein EphA4 is abnormally activa ted in the disease and results in synaptic deficits s imilar to those obseNed in AD patients. The group also identified a molecule from the Chinese herb gouteng, or "Cat's Claw ... that inhibits EphA4's activity in mice and is working to develop the molecule into a drug that can slow the progression of the disease in humans. In addition to Prof Ip, Prof Yung Hou Wong, Chair Professor of Life Science, is also looking to t raditional Chinese medicines as a source of inspiration for new drugs to combat AD. His work focuses on "re-engineering" traditional Chinese medicines by mixing ingredients from different herbal formulas in the hope of finding new and more potent combinations for curbing or reversing the disease. "Traditional Chinese medicines have been used for ages and we know they work," Prof Wong says. "Furthermore, traditional Chinese medicine formulas have been re fined over thousands of years so whatever doesn't work has been screened out." Work by Profs Ip and Wong is helping to show that AD is a multifaceted disease w ith multiple drivers. Prof Karl Herrup, Head of Life Science at HKUST, thinks his team has discovered another one. Prof Herrup became skeptical that amyloids were the sole cause of AD after making a paradox1ca l discovery: neurons in the brains of mice with AD show evidence of cell Pror Nancy Ip and her research assistants. division, or cell cycling. This was unexpected because as Prof Herrup says, .. Bra in cells don·t normally divide. Neurons gave up that capability long ago- probably in exchange for the ability to fo rm the hyper-complex shapes that enable them to perform exquisitely complicated computations." Cell cycling in neurons is not only abnormal. it can be lethal to the cell. It is significa nt, therefore, that Herrup·s team has shown that the parts of the brain that show the most abnormal cell cycling are the same brain regions that are most affected by AD, including the fronta l cortex and hippocampus. Prof Herrup·s lab has gone on to show that aberrant cell cycling 1n mice begins months before the formation of amyloid deposits. Indeed this t iming is one of the reasons for Herrup·s skepticism of the hypothesis that amylo1d plaques are driving the typical AD process. These f indings have led Prof Herrup to focus his lab's efforts on uncovering the factors that dr ive a neuron to begin a new. and ultimately lethal. cell cycle. "We predict that if you can stop cell cycling, you can stop neurons from dying and if you can stop neurons from dying, you can stop a large part of dementia," Prof Herrup says. Prof Ip says she is invigorated rather than discouraged by the many questions left to answer about AD. "This is what sc1entlf1c research is all about," Prof Ip says. She concludes: "Through our collective efforts, we are gaining a better understanding of the disease. Each new discovery is one step closer to finding an effective cu re ... ~~' - ;ffl#jj~,pfrfl ~-tftr%~i::f:t ag7G~ ' ~ff*fl AJi!Jl ~ Afl s~,~ , 1r~~mt-+* :@f JEA Jl fjJJr ag Ji!Jl 0 ffiit!it'l~;i;JJ~1991 fl=.1>¼11~~ , jA*~ffiID*~iR l>¼~B~IIJS81iB'ilit'I~ • ?.?iffii • ~~:;l;;:~B'ilaUJJJi),_ffi ~!ilf~IIB~®*~~~~l>¼~m~S!J!ilf~~~• ffllt!t'l:;l;;:ffl~~±~*it'l~~m~~ttfffi~: rffl,e_..t • ),_~-_§ffl~~jS~*il»'J18'i)!,l~ • J /9l!l07I18tlttc · ),_fl"lJ.J.E*~lijl.i~U!t! • in 1940 B. 1960fj,.~ • mJMi~ffl.tJJ'll*~t«i~~B'il~ffl.~ • ~~~B ·~~B~~B'ilBMWR~~~*~• ~~!li : r 60~ffi! · ),_ff"J81/.~lfl'VfEm~~~m 3' 1' re · f§llO*f.1<~~15!~-ffi rvl!l*~WlJ !ilf~~IU · tEl~tti;Ji;1.ii~lPJ • ~1-\\~~~B • -tJJfflll:iH&*'l1~ ~~B'il~~•~W~·~*m~~oo~~~~ll"lB'ilB m~;!.

In 2001, HKUST became the first university in Hong Kong to establish a nanotechnology institute, dubbed the Institute of Nano Science and Technology [INSTI. with Prof Sheng as its founding director. The University also had the foresight to construct two large central facilities on campus that are useful for nanoscience research: The Materials Characterization and Preparation Facility IMCPFI is devoted to the engineering and study of advanced materials, while the Nanosystem Fabrication Facility INFFI is used for microfabrication. 22 tll.::USr 2511, Am1ircrsa')· I l'ro111e1he11;; i11 1hc sty

Noting the invention of blue and white LEDs in 1993, she saw and believed in the potential of solidstate !LED) lighting replacing conventional light sources in twenty years. And there were a whole host of scientific as well as engineering issues waiting to be resolved to reach the goal. Solid-state lighting nowadays is the most efficient light source: compared to traditional bulbs. they are small, l ightweight and long-lasting, and consume 10% of the electricity needed by incandescent lamps to l ight up any place. indoor and outdoor.

Monolithically integrated LEDs and transistors. self-emitting microdisplays are some of their innovative projects with frui tful results. The patented micro-display technology has been licensed to industry for further development into products. by HKUST graduates who did their thesis research on this. One of the pioneers of gallium nitride in LEDs was Prof Shuji Nakamura, who has been a visiting professor at HKUST Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study since 2008. In the mid-1980s, Prof Nakamura created a novel process for growing gallium nitride crystal. Prof Nakamura·s method allowed the production of blue LEDs. a crucial breakthrough in LED technology. Blue LEDs, in addition to allowing full-color display, also enable the creation of white LEDs for general illumination. In 2014, Prof Nakamura was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics !along with two other scientists) for his invention of blue LEDs. On an average day, you might make use of LEDs in dozens of di1f erent ways: as lighting, in your TV remote control, even as headlights of yom car. LED There Be light Faculty at HKUST are also working on the development of another major advance: OLEO, or Organic LED, so-called because the light-emitting component is a thin film of organic [carbon-containing] compound. At present. many TVs, mobile phones, and computers use LCD (Liquid Crystal Display] screens. OLEO screens. un like LCD, need no back-lighting, so they can be thinner. display deeper blacks, and produce better picture quality. Prof Hoi Sing Kwok. Chair Professor of Electronic and Computer Engineering. and Dr William M W Mong Professor of Nanotechnology and Director of the State Key Laboratory on Advanced Displays and Optoelectronics Technologies. have developed a technology called Bridged Grain. "For driving OLEO, our technology would be superior to all the current technologies ... says Prof Kwok. "It is low cost and high, performance-what else do you need?" At the moment. OLEO TVs are rare and expensive, but Prof Kwok believes the technology will become more accessible in future. "As an engineer, I am excited to see that my work is being used:· says Prof Kwok. Prof Kwok works closely with Prof Ching W Tang, who is widely recognized as the "Father of OLEO." Born and raised in Hong Kong. in 2011 Prof Tang became the first Chinese recipient of the prestigious Wolf Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of OLEO. Prof Tang is now the Chair Professor of the Departments of Electronic and Computer Engineering, Chemistry, and Physics at HKUST. Prof Kwok is also working to improve LCD technology. The team has invented new materials that improve the response time of LCD, making new screens that are an incredible 1,000 times faster than existing technology.

Similar to the way a child might pair a spoken word or phrase with the context off a visual object or action. in Prof Wu's lab, the computer ··child" listens lo spoken English while seeing the corresponding Chinese translation. Prof Wu says that even in a single language, speakers are translating words into a corresponding mental image. "Everything that we do is really about translating from one representation into some other more immediately useful representation," Prof Wu explains. "It is the single key to all human intelligence:· His research attempts to get machines to approximate the same sort of intelligence by understanding that language consists of fragments of meaning in a contextual relationship to one another. But unlike tra ditional Al whose rela tionships are coded by people, Prof Wu says they are attempting to get the machine to learn to do it on its own. "Language and music are the only things we do better than any other species," Prof Wu says. The abili ty to learn language, is fundamentally what makes us human, and ultimately what will make robots more human l ike. One of her colleagues. Prof Bertram Shi. Professor and Head of Electronic and Computer Engineering, hopes to contr ibute to Zara by helping her learn to interpret eye movements. "For example. you might look at the salt across the table before you ask someone to pass it to you, or avert you r eyes when you·re lying;· explains Prof Shi, whose research involves using eye movements to control robotic systems. Prof Shi says learning to recognize these cues, and eventually teaching robots to mimic them. is an important step in teaching robots to use language as fluently as their human counterparts. "Your eye movements indicate a lot about what's happening inside your brain:· he adds. Artificial Intelligence Al researchers at HKUST envision robots that will communicate with humans around the globe in every possible languageperhaps even acting as translators. Machine translation programs like Google Translate are one of the most frequently used types of artificial intelligence, says Prof Fung. "It's also one of the hardest tasks in Al," she adds. Most translato rs do a poor job at extrapolating beyond the literal meaning of the words. "If you have ever used it. it's clear it doesn·t understand what it's saying.- says Prof Dekai Wu. Professor of Computer Science and Engineering. Prof Wu is working to build a better translator by teaching machines core relationships between languages. I.

Professor of Electronic and Computer Engineering. has been fascinated with robots. "I wanted to build robots that could be our friends," Prof Fung recalls. Today she is one of the leading researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. Her robots may not do everything she had hoped when she was seven, but they are doing something most robots cannot-learning to interpret human emotions. Together with her colleagues at HKUST, Prof Fung aims to create intelligent robots that can relate to people in a more human way. These ··emotionally intelligent" robots are the robots of the future, says Prof Fung. because they will understand not just what we say, but also expertly decode the hidden meaning in how we say 1t. Creating a humanistic robot is no easy task. Movements in our eyes, expressions on our faces. subtle changes in tone of voice. and even the pace and rhythm of our speech can convey as much or more information than the words themselves. That is something current speech recognition systems cannot do-and what researchers at HKUST are hoping to teach robots to understand and mimic. 'The digital agent you speak with when you call American Airlines can understand the words you say, but it can·t understand if you are angry or frustrated. or if you are trying to be sarcastic:· Prof Fung says. '"The ultimate goal is to build a humanoid robot who talks to us. anticipates our needs. and empathizes with our feelings ... One of her recent projects is ··zara the Supergirl." an early prototype of what Prof Fung hopes will one day be a truly empathetic robot. Zara is capable of chatting with users in different languages, asking personal questions. and interpreting vocal tone and facial expressions. Pref Fung says Zara is an accumulation of her work so far. but working with her colleagues. there 1s much they hope to add. ·we keep making progress on separate problems, and then we put them together ...

The past decade has revealed an explosion of genomic sequence data for many of the diseases which plague mankind, such as the human immunodeficiency virus IHIVI and the hepatitis C virus IHCVI. At HKUST. researchers in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering and the Division of Biomedical Engineering IBMEI have developed and applied cutting-edge big data statistical methods to accurately predict targeted parts of the HIV and HCV viral genomes which appear most [or least! sensitive to coordinated mutations. "This multi-disciplinary research has provided novel insight into the evolutionary properties of both viruses, showing remarkable consistency with known experimental results while also leading to novel biological predictions. The results have also been exploited to guide the development of new potential vaccine solutions for HCV, for which no effective vaccine currently exists," enthused Prof Matthew McKay.

Dean of Humanities and Social Science at HKUST. "Big data is about bringing discovery to humanities and social science," says Prof Lee. By accumulating this enormous amount of data. and then looking for the unexpected, it allows researchers to discover things they never thought of.explains Prof Lee. Massive Online Open Courses IMOOCs) offered by the University a re a great example of how big data is shaping education at HKUST. When a student reads an online assignment or watches a video-based lecture. researchers are recording how long ..... -~ .. ~...:, that student spends on each topic. where he pauses. and if he skips forward or back. That information can help teachers understand which students are struggling, where to intervene, or even help them improve their own lectures. Prof Yang says that the limitations of big data are mostly the data themselves. For example, a lot can be learned from correlating genetics and/or health data to behavior-but much of this type of data is currently lacking. Prof Yang says one of the challenges will be how to encourage people to share very valuable data-or possibly how much to pay them for it. Still he says the results they have so far are very encouraging. "This is making big changes. that's why people are excited about it," says Prof Yang. China will need industry robots, smart machines and smart factories ifit wanes to stay competitive in manufacturing and make ben:er, more sophisticated products. When Prof Zexiang Li joined HKUST in 1992, there was virtually no demand for industrial robots in China because the country had no shortage of cheap human workers. Today, the picture is very different. As the country has rapidly modernized, its labor costs have risen and its pool of potential laborers has shrunk. "Because of China's declining birth rate, we have a serious shortage of labor. and there are also fewer people are willing to take factory jobs," says Prof Li, a Professor of Electronic and Computer Engineering. Automation is now viewed as a means for China to not only stay competitive with countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia, where labor is cheaper and more plentiful, Prof Li says, but also as a way to boost productivity and quality while sparing human workers from repetitive tasks and unfriendly working environments. "China will need industry robots, smart machines and smart factories if it wants to stay competitive in manufacturing and make more sophisticated products,·· Prof Li says. The development of advanced manufacturing robots is one of three primary focuses of HKUST's new Robotics Institute, which was established just last summer to help bring robot ics researchers across the University together to share ideas and resources. ·'Together, we can collectively identify and go after opportunities, instead of each of us trying things on our own:· said Prof Michael Wang, the Robotics lnstitute·s founding Director. The Robot Revolution Two other areas that the Robotics Institute will pursue are autonomous vehicles. such as drones and self-d riving cars, and naturalhuman interactions through the combination of artificial intelligence and big data. ·we are actively developing a technology that not only allows drones to sense and avoid obstacles, but also to have the intelligence capability to understand their surroundings and the self-guide functionality to identity and locate target objects based on such information in order to complete flight missions," Prof Wang says. As robots of all stripes become more common, Prof Li sees a chance for Chinaand the Pearl River Delta region adjacent to HKUST in particular- to become a global leader for the robotics industry. "We have an impressive and unique manufacturing ecosystem here :· Prof Li says. ·we can develop a technology or innovat ion here at HKUST and then quickly have it manufactured across the border in Shenzhen. Nowhere else in the world do you see that:· Prof Li has witnessed this process firsthand. One of his former students is Mr Frank Wang, the founder and CEO of Shenzhen-based OJI, the world·s largest producer of consumer drones. Mr Wang developed the autopilot technology that would power his drones while at HKUST and famously launched OJI out of his dorm room in 2006. Prof Li thinks there are other potential Frank Wangs at HKUST, and believes that part of his job is to find these students and help nurture their talent. One way he does this is by helping to supervise the HKUST Robotics Team, which brings university students together to compete in internationa l robotics competitions such as the annual Robot contest. The competitions are fun for the students. but more importantly, they also provide them with cri tical hands-on experience designing and build ing robots and opportunities to work as a team, says Prof Tim Woo, an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at HKUST. ·we try to empower the students so that the projects are driven by them, and not by us:· says Prof Woo, who also helps to supervise the teams. "We provide training and guidance, but in the end, they design and build the robots." HKUST Robotics Team attracts students from diverse maJors. including eng ineering, computer science. math, and even arts and business. "Their majors don·t matter because robotics is a mult i-disciplinary effort:· Prof Woo says. 'What"s important is that they have big dreams and are passionate and want to do something with technology that will make a big impact.·· The Pedestrian crossing al Causeway Bay ,n front of Sogo ,s one of the busiest in the world. ma~~*a~m~nAra~fil~ke~~~ i!~.:Z-. ~11',1:m~- ~ mr£Jllt,\'1tha<1i!tw • i&m:;1c:m~Jllfr-Jl'llHl1?ltllH~fm1J~*~%~ • na,g-f!lfiHl'~~t~5HJi- • 4'{f:~;'(U1Ji&ffl:f0 J}ifr A~fi'~ffifflS~Jlle(Jffffi 0 RfM~;i!it£-f~Ellll!~m11Je9tltff • iffiM•JH~a~ ttfM~ J Im ; ttfl"J~l!Qlii"'l!l[cpf!'il~~'.lEuL*il't ll1liltrtfM8\J;!i~ : itl~lfiluli~ttfl"Jf<jj'~~aiU~~l&M mzDJ:1l~ ; mulilffillEfilff"lfffliJl~fU!

Many people today are accustomed to using cloud computing services such as Netflix and Dropbox to store and retrieve content from remote servers over the Internet. While such services are incredibly convenient, they are not always very efficient. Take video streaming, for example. "Currently, if a family wants to stream the same Netflix movie onto different devices, each device needs to be connected to the Internet and have its own data stream.·· Prof Chan says. If too many people try to connect to Netflix's servers at once. 1t creates online traffic jams that lead to slow connection speeds and poor video quality for users. Fog computing aims to solve this problem by creating a loca l device network that exists between the user and the cloud. The key to fog networking is smart routers that cannot only connect to the Internet, but also download and store data. ··11 you then connect multiple fog routers in different homes together, you have a large memory network in your neighborhood," Prof Chan says. Now, instead of having to connect to a remote server every time a movie is requested, a fog network-enabled TV could instead ping nearby devices to see if a copy of the movie already exists on the local network. If it does, the TV can just stream or down load it from its neighbor. ·-secause your content is cached locally, you can access it much faster and it will be of higher quality ... Prof Chan says. ··vou ·ll have to jump on the servers less often, so your access cost will be much lower as well." B efore too long, it won't just be your computer and mobile devices that can connect to the Internet-everything from your car to your headphones and your refrigerator will be on line. too. The so-called Internet of Things (lo Tl is about more than just connected appliances able to talk to one another. however.

Prof Qian Zhang (Tencent Professor of Engineering and Chair Professor of Department of Computer Science and Engineering) and Prof Gary Chan [Professor of Department of Computer Science and Engineering) are working on technologies to help make this connected vision of the future a reality. One project Prof Zhang·s group is working on is the development or a technology called dynamic spectrum access that will enable devices to intell igently access and jump between unused radio frequencies. 56 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty Internet ef Things For example, as more people switch to cable TV and cloud services such as Netflix, the part of the radio spectrum previously reserved for analog television broadcasting is being underutilized. Dynamic spectrum access would allow a device to take advantage of this "spectrum hole" or "white space" by switching to the frequency when it is not in use and then jumping off again if the frequency is recalled for its original purpose. The ability to dynamically switch between wireless channels will become increasing1ly important as more devices become Internetenabled and clamor to communicate on the 5ame limited frequencies. "Radio 5pectrum is a natural resource. just like water or electricity." Prof Zhang says. Research in Prof Chan·s group aims to improve lo T connectivity in a different way.

Understanding consumer behavior is one of the hottest topics in business psychology these days. But while massive data sets on consumer spending habits have managed to quantify how we spend money, they have not always been able to understand why. And that is the key question that many researchers at H KUST are attempting to answer. Knowing how we spend money is one thing, but if a company can understand the underlying motivations behind your purchases. they have a much better shot at guiding your behavior to their advantage. Research by Prof Jaideep Sengupta, Chair Professor of Marketing and Chinese Estates Professor of Business, has shown that many of the factors that influence consumer behaviors are, at their core, tied to basic principles of human psychology. Marketing or advertising that 1s able to stroke our egos is more effective. And our reaction to it is sometimes so visceral that we can·t overcome it, even when we are fully aware that it is being used to manipulate us. Take flattery. for example. When salespeople use obvious flattery on their customers, the customers are aware of it and dislike it. But despite this, Prof Sengupta·s research shows that flattery still increases later sa les- an intriguing finding that has not only been published in top academic journals, but has also been widely discussed in the popular press (including outle ts such as the Financial Times and the BBC). ·what happens is you see right through it, and you dislike the person. You dislike them because they are clearly trying to trick us and they aren't even being subtle about it," explains Prof Sengupta. "But we found that although that's true at the conscious level. we also get a favorable gut reacti on towards that person simply because all of us as human beings have this tremendous need to be told positive things about ourselves. And later on, it's that favorable gut reaction that dominates-which means that you are actually more likely to go back later and buy from that store and that salesperson"'. Prof Amy Dalton, Associate Professor of Marketing at HKUST, studies another issue of consumer behavior-unconscious bias, and the question that intrigues her is whether people can develop defenses to counteract the many under- the-radar influences that are constantly bombarding them. "If you ta ke as a premise that unconscious influence is happening. then it can sound quite sad. as if we have no choice but to walk around the world having our behaviors shaped by things going on around us:· Prof Dalton says. "It removes the feeling of free will and autonomy. like somehow we are just passively responding to the world rather than actively participating in it." Differences in Asian and Western culrural perceptions and values must also be taken into consideration when analysing consumer behaviour. l/" Fortunately. Prof Dalton ·s research has also shown that consumers are not trully defenseless when it comes to non-conscious influences . .. Part of my research has been to show that in the same way that we can be influenced outside of conscious awareness. we can also develop certain cognitive skills and strategies to resist persuasion that can become automatic over time ... Research by Prof Michelle Yik. Professor in Division of Social Science at HKUST. has revealed another fascinating aspect of unconscious biases: far from being universal. they can vary across cultures . .. As a result. differences in Asian and Western cultural perceptions and values must be taken into consideration, .. says Prof Yik, who studies culture and emotion. This can be simple like the use of colors or images that have cultural meaning, or more complicated! like )._ ..J the fact that Asian audiences tend to prefer stories with a bittersweet ending compared to Americans who prefer to focus on the positives ... If you have an Asian customer you might try and focus on both the good and bad things about a product. .. says Prof Yik. Although the applications to consumers are obvious, the researchers say their work also has intersections and applications in areas outside the business arena. The emotional. cultural. and psychological factors that influence things like creativity, productivity, and health can be utilized in a n umber of areas. 'We are realizing that the human mind is much more malleable than we thought it was ... says Prof Sengupta . ..

Millions of small, private businesses were popping up all over the place. Where were they gecting the funding co finance their businesses? 68 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty Unmasking the Chinese Economy A a global manufacturing hub and the fastest growing consumer market, China's economy is arguably one of the most interesting in the wor ld. and Hong Kong is one of the best places from which to study its development. Prof Kellee Tsai. Division Head and Chair Professor of Social Science at HKUST. first became interested in Chi na·s political and economic development as a graduate student at Columbia University in the 1990s. when she spent 18 months conducting field research in the country. 'What I saw in China seemed to fly in the face of the conventional economic theories I learned in graduate school.'' says Prof Tsai. who came to HKUST to lead the Division of Social Science and lbe closer to her research si te. For example. the most dynamic sector of China's economy at the time appeared to be its petty private sector. "There were literally millions of small. private businesses popping up all over the place. They were involved in manufacturing. selling. trading. and yet the private sector had been excluded from China·s formal banking system:· Prof Tsai says. ··That posed a really basic puzzle: Where were they getting the funding to finance their businesses?"" Pref Tsa i"s quest to answer that question led her to explore a vast world of informal finance and "shadow banking" systems that rely on a surprisingly sophisticated network of loan sharks. pawn shops, underground money banks, and rotating credit and savings associations. ··11 was remarkable. Most people think of China as a top-down authoritarian system. one that is financially and politically repressive. All that is true, and yet there·s this unbelievably vibrant market of informal financial intermediation going on that is fueling private sector development. How is this possibler Prof Tsai says. Informal finance and the broader universe of shadow banking continue to intrigue Prof Tsai. but she has since moved onto other research topics. such as trying to understand the impact of return migration. ethnic foreign direct investment and remittances on regional development by comparing three pairs of localities in China and India. At HKUST. Prof Tsai is only a short train or plane ride from China. and she is surrounded by colleagues who also share her interests. ·when I was at Johns Hopkins University, I was the only person studying Chinese politics:· Prof Tsai says. "Whereas here, if I walk out of my office and make a left. I can go and ask David Zweig about returnees in China; if I have a question about migratory patterns to and from Wenzhou. I can talk to John Ma who tracks migration: it I'm puzzled by how to interpret Chinese statistics, I can ask Carsten Holz: for questions on China·s economy, there·re James Kung and Albert Park ... Prof Albert Par k, Chair Professor of· Social Science and Professor of Economics. who moved from Oxford to HKUST in 2007, shares Prof Tsai·s passion for learning about China through first-hand field research. A specialist in the Chinese economy, he organizes large-scale social surveys in China and uses stat istical methods to analyze the data. One influential strand of his research has been a set of studies that evaluate the impact of Chinese government"s poverty alleviation programs. J I I I j I.'

"The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program offers the best of both worlds: a globally recognized joint degree from the U.S. and Asia," Mr Zameczkowski says. 'World class faculty combined with highly experienced classmates from different countries and backgrounds makes this program a once in a lifetime experience." The program seeks out a balance of minds. cultures. and fields for its classes. so having strong academic capability or being a corporate star is not always enough for students to gain admission. To ensure that it is getting the best of the best. potential students have to undergo an application interview process that Prof DeKrey fi rst pioneered at Kellogg in 1985. The interview is designed to gauge applicants' interpersonal skills. communication. leadership skills. and motivation. Prof DeKrey found that appl icants liked it as well because "it allows them to tell t heir personal stories," he says. Today. more than 65 percent of the program's students fly in from countries outside of Hong Kong, bringing with them not only varied professional expertise. but also different cultural knowledge as well. Yet despite their differences. Ms Judy Au, the program's current administrative director, says the program promotes a collegiate atmosphere that relies on teamwork. and discourages competition. The result 1s a strong bond among the students that leads to life-long friendships as well as business partnerships and collaborations. This intimacy is also what brings alumni back year after year. and something Ms Au feels accounts in a significant way for the prog ram's success. While the Kellogg-HKUST program draws many international students to HKUST, the University also noticed an increasing demand for an EMBA program ta ilored to the Chinese-speaking executives already in the region. says Prof Yan Xu. Associate Dean for the HKUST bilingual EMBA. "We I t is not all that unusual for a leading science and technology university to make its mark turning engineers into entrepreneurs. But as an educational destination for the world·s top business executives? As it turns out, HKUST does that, too. Business leaders from Asia and the world. flock to one of the University°s two highly competitive executive MBA programs: the well-established and respected Englishlanguage EMBA partnership with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University or its younger HKUST-based sibling, a bilingual program targeted at Chinese executives. The joint EMBA degree initiative was the creation of Prof Donald Jacobs. former Dean at Kellogg with a vision for a global business education. HKUST had just been founded a few years earlier and was still relatively unknown, but Prof Jacobs was willing to enter into a partnership because he knew the quality of the faculty that the University was hiring. He trusted the talents of two faculty members in particular: Former Dean Yuk Shee Chan of The School of Business and Management, a former professor at Kellogg, and Prof Steven DeKrey, a former Kellogg Dean of Admissions. The three of them created the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA Program in 1997. with Prof DeKrey directing it for the fo llowing 15 years. He is currently Senior Advisor to the President. Business School Associate Dean and Adjunct Professor at HKUST. ·•on trusted us and he knew our potential, and he saw the partnership as an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a rising institution:· says Prof DeKrey, who was the joint-EMBA program·s Founding Director. ·•on and I agreed that the overall goal of the program was to build both institutions global reputations:· The program has come a long way since those early days. The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA has been ranked No. 1 in the world seven times since 2007 in Financial Times· surveys, and today is one of the most renowned and sought-after programs of its kind. Executives of some of the world"s most famous companies-including FedEx, Morgan Stanley, Coca Cola. and Cathay Pacific-have passed through the program. ·You name it, they' re there:· Prof De Krey says. FedEx Freight CEO Mr Michael Ducker, an early graduate of the program. remembers his time at HKUST fondly. ··rhe schedule created by the EMBA suited my schedule because I was able to attend school on the weekends and still perform my duties during the week:· Mr Ducker says. ·1 also liked the cultural diversity it offered in dealing with people from different cultures. countries. and backgrounds. It had a great cross-section of industry representatives from small enterprises to large corporations:· Mr Anthony Zameczkowski, Vice President of Business Development in Asia for Netflix, says the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA More than 65% of the program's smdenrs fly in from countries outside of Hong Kong, bringing with chem nor only varied professional expertise, but also different culruraJ knowledge a well. ~iif-Hijc¥ 09~ffiEMBA ~~-tE i:f:t II ill~ffl:W- ag ~ ~ r , -lf.r,~i t fl°fflfflttl ffi ~~f3J<1~ag~ti , ~if:m ,Jc~ ~~Wi'~~'E!ffl j:fjfffl ::k ¥ ~li9;G 0 76 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty In the Beginning ...

China's informal finance and "shadow banking" systems relied on a surprisingly sophisticated network ofloan sharks, pawn shops, underground money banks, and rotating credit and savings associations. .. China did not even admit it had a poverty problem until the mid-1980s, but then attempted to attack the problem aggressively through regionally targeted infrastructure investment programs ... Prof Park worked with the World Bank and China·s National Bureau of Statistics to collect village and household data nationwide, and found that the many of the poor were not living in villages targeted by the program. Even in the villages that received poverty alleviation funds, only the relatively rich householdls were able to increase their incomes. Partly due to these findings, the government later re formed its programs to better target individual households. HKUST's Finance Department also has distinguished itself with innovative research on China. ·when I first arrived in 1992, most universities in Hong Kong were focused on teaching finance, .. says Prof Kuo-chiang IJohnl Wei, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Finance at HKUSTs Business School. .. But in recent years there has been a growing emphasis on conducting original research as well." Prof Wei credits this to the influx into Hong Kong of scholars who were trained abroad, where finance research was more common. Prof Wei himself was a part of that initial wave of incoming researchers. Trained in the United States. Prof Wei was an Associate Professor of Finance at Indiana University when he was persuaded by a colleague, Prof Yuk-shee Chan, to move to Hong Kong to join HKUST, at the time a brand new university. "I thought, Wow, he is curious! He·s a Chair Professor at the University of Southern California, but he·s willing to give up his post and move back to Hong Kong, ... Prof Wei says ... So I followed him. It was risky, but sometimes you want some adventure, and you can work your entire life in the U.S. and never have an opportunity like this ...

C reating a world-class research university from scratch is no easy task. but HKUST has managed to do just that, and in record time. too. Prof Chia-Wei Woo. HKUSTs Founding President. attributes a large part of the University's early success to its founding faculty members. many of whom resigned from prestigious positions in the United States to join the fledgling institution. After being appointed President. Prof Woo made it his mission to recruit first-class researchers and scholars from around the world. ··vou·ve got to start from the top because only first-class people can attract other first-class people. In fast-moving fields such as science. engineering, and management, you are either first-class or without class, .. Prof Woo says. ~ , Even though HKUST had no track record to speak of a\!_t~J1~ .'. Prof Woo found that he was able to convince many faculty members - to move to Hong Kong by appealing to their idealism.

Or Marvin KT Cheung appointed the 4th Council Chairman~ A Soaring Sight A HKUST's Founding Director of the Facilities Management Office, in the very beginning, Mr Mike Hudson was tasked with taking the University's unusual master plan from scratch and turning it into a reality. Unlike most universities. which house different departments in different buildings, HKUST's design called for all of the departments to be based in one academic building. Apart from making the best use of the natural environment. the founders also had an intellectual vision for the design choice- the design encourages cross-boundary collaboration from the early days. Following a major review of the Campus Master Plan [CMPI in 2006, the University embarked on a new growing phase to accommodate the rising need of research and learning activities as all the UGC-funded institutions began to offer a 4-year undergraduate program in 2012. Approaching the juncture of the University's 25th Anniversary, President Tony Chan and his senior management have a new vision in the 2014 CMP to crea te an enjoyable environment with support of residential. arts and cultural, sports, recreational and innova tive facilities conducive to a thr iving campus life and holistic education experience. The thinking is also to forge the campus into a hub for community engagement and international collaboration. Among 14 proposed building projects in the 2014 CMP, there will be facilities for sports and water sports. and a coastal promenade to transform the whole campus seafront into a more social and communal place not just for viewing water sports activi ties. Here are examples of a few dreams as envisioned by President Tony Chan that not only gain support from the University community, but also gradually turn into reality under the CMP . .. Dragon boat, kayaking, coastal rowing, windsurfing, and sailing are very popular among our students, faculty, staff and alumni, but we need a better facility ... Prof Tony Chan says. ·we are the only university in Hong Kong that has a waterfront as an integral part of our main campus and we are probably situated next to one of the best sea areas in Hong Kong for water sports activities, and we·re going to make the most of 1t:· 90 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty . lb ,~,- A breathtaking view of the campus nestled between the sea and mountains.

The aspiration is that HKUST should have such a sizeable facility that would be well-equipped lo cater for a wide r.rnge of uses fit for academic. student. arts, music, drama, dance. cultu ral and other social activities. At the moment. the largest venue on campus is only good for 400 people. Another exciting initiative is a multi-story ··innovation Building"", one of the high priorities. The University"s vision is to create an ecosystem on campus that can incubate a vertical integration of the three main knowledge transfer segments (namely students. faculty. and industry). where they can interact, synergize and colla borate with each other at ease. For Mr Mark Hodgson. HKUST s Vice-President for Administration and Business, the campus has managed to expand in a most admirable way. ""H KUST is one of the most beautiful university campuses in the world. It is staggeringly beautiful, .. Mr Hodgson says. ""If you·re lucky enough to have a view of the waterfront, you can "t help bu t say 'Wowl This is incredible!""" Mr Hodgson wants to harness that Wow factor as the University implements the projects outlined in its updated CMP of 2014. Whether brand new buildings or simply updated old ones. all of HKUST"s buildings will strive to operate in a sustainable way. ""We want the campus to be a tru ly inspirational place for people to live and work and study."· says Mr Mark Hodgson, .. but also be a place where sustainability is at the heart of what we do:· To materialize this vision, HKUST has included in its 2016-20 Strategic Plan a range of initiatives to build a digitised and sustainable campus as a sustainability showcase. All these developments will not be possible without generous support from the community. Our founding donor, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust donated close to HK$2 billion for the campus construction eve,n before HKUST"s establishment in 1991 , which was by far the largest single donation ever made by the Club at that time. Over the past two decades, HKJC has continued its staunch support to HKUST and has played a crucial role in the University"s development, in particular the Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study. Throughout the years, the University is fortunate to have support from other philanthropists including the late Dr Henry Fok Ying Tung, Dr Lee Shau Kee and Mr Martin Ka Shing Lee, Dr Li Oak Sum and family, The Shaw Foundation, Dr Cheng Yu Tung and many others who have rendered their support to strengthen the U niversity·s education and research facilities as well as campus development. Special thanks should also go to HKUST Vice-President for Institutional Advancement Dr Eden Woon and his team for their great efforts in exceeding fundraising target of the 25th Anniversary Global Vision Campaign to enable many of these projects to realise. .. ti .............. . ...... - ............. .. .. \ .... . :·· . , . ,,.... .' ,.. ... .

As Prof Chan points out, "WEF is a great platform for different sectors in the world to discuss the most pressing issues and put forward possible solutions", and since 2012, there have been nearly 25 University faculty members across our Schools participating in WEF, making presentations in ldeaslabs and seminars. Prof Chan also plays an active role in WEF Global University Leaders Forum !GULF). a group comprising 26 presidents from some of the world's most well-known universities, which discusses timely topics in global higher education at the Winter Davos. In addition, the University is also a founding member of the Association of East Asiain Research Universities IAEARU). consisting of presidents of leading research universities in East Asia. In 2015, the University welcomed the Association of Pacific Rims Universities IAPRUI Secretariat office to the campus. As one of APRU's 45 research university members, the University will continue to work closely with the organization to shape Asia-Pacific higher education and research policies and networks. 'With this year marking our 25th Anniversary, it Is both our honor and pleasure to have more than 1,500 distinguished guests, including top academic scholars and leaders from renowned institutions, participating in the University's 25th Anniversary Celebration Banquet in June 2016.'' says Dr Woon. Also in June, the University hosted the inaugura l Times Higher Education Asia Universities Summit 2016 1TH E Summit) where over 30 presidents and senior officials of leading institutions from 14 countries shared their insights on 'How universities Nurture Creativity and Innovation·. "The Times Higher Education World University Rankings editor tells us he has never experienced an event that brings together so many presidents of the world's very best universit ies. That is very encouraging and goes some way in showing the strength of the partnerships we have with our global peers:· says Prof Chan. And all these partnerships contribute to the education and research outreach for HKUST's students and faculty. World Economic Forum is a great plarf onn to discuss the most pressing global issues and put forward possible solutions. Since 2012, nearly 25 UniversiL-y faculty members across our Schools have participated in WEF, making presentations in ldeasLabs and seminars. "I nternationalization has always been a core to HKUST's strategic development since our beginning," says HKUST President Tony Chan. "For HKUST, it is crucial for us to be both proactive and innovative in our approach to global outreach, and this encompasses fostering partnerships with world leading institutions and being part of the global dialogue on higher education." Staying true to our vision to be a leading research university in Asia, the University has more than 250 partners around the globe and a selected number of partner universities which we have forged closer strategic partnerships with seed-funding commitm ent. 'What we find most valuable through those stra tegic partnerships are the opportunities to work with our global peers on impactful research and the experience we can provide our students through Joint programs, overseas exchanges and research internships," says the University's VicePresident for Institutional Advancement, Dr Eden Woon, who is responsible for coordinating the University's global relations. One example is the University's World Bachelor in Business program delivered in partnerships with the University of Southern California and Bocconi University, where we see each cohort spending a year in California. Hong Kong and Milan respectively, before they select one of the three universities to spend their final year. With over 50% of the University's undergraduate students participat ing in overseas exchange, this speaks volumes to both the opportunities the University offers, and the genuine desire among our students to ga in international exposure. "From participating in faculty- led research projects in overseas insti tutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). University of Cambr idge and CERN, to teaming up with students at Harvard University to work on a research 106 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty Global Outreach topic over the summer, there really is a wide range of opportunities for our students to choose from," says Prof Chan. Prof Chan and Dr Woon also make it a point to visit. with faculty, world- leading institutions and global industr ial players to strengthen existing relationsh ips, explore innovative collaborative opportunities and further enhance the visibility of HKUST globally. Following major v1s1ts led by Prof Chan, there have been new academic and exchange agreements and collaboration with leading inst itutions in North America, Middle East. Europe and Latin America and newly introduced joint and dual degree programs with a selected group of universi ties. In recent years, the University has seen its performance in vanous international university rankings rising steadily and its international student population further diversified. " It is encouraging to see students from countries we visited applying to us for undergradua te and postgraduate studies, or come to HKUST for their overseas exchange, as are not only encouraging our students to go explore the world but are also working tirelessly to increase the cultural diversity· of our student body on campus," says Or Woon. Another positive sign came from a recent survey in which the University was ranked No. 13 by 5,900 recruiters and executives around the world who were asked which universities they would most like their new employees to graduate from. "I am excited that our graduates are sought after in the global job market, it is a testament to our holistic education model and quality of our students," says Prof Chan. As well as furthering the University's global footprint.

In 2009, Prof Paul Chu. HKUST's former president and Founding Director of the HKUST Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study (IASI. made Prof Tye an offer he could not refuse-to take his place as the leader of IAS and help it become one of Asia's premiere intellectual centers. Modeled after the famous Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, where Albert Einstein himself was a faculty member. H KUSTs IAS was established in 2006 with the goal of providing a hub for vibrant intellectual interactions among researchers to drive cutting-edge discovery and scholarships benefitting Hong Kong·s socio-economic development. "When I was a student at the University of California, San Diego, I met a lot of giants in science, and those people later had a very important impact on my l ife, .. Prof Chu says. "I wanted to create that kind of environment at HKUST." Prof Tye felt that Prof Chu's dream was an attainable one. and in 2011 he relocated to Hong Kong and became the second director of IAS. Prior to joining HKUST, Prof Tye was Horace White Professor of Physics at Cornell University. where he specialized in the interface between cosmology and superstring theory.

Hailed as Hong Kong·s "most innovative music experience" by the Financial Times. the Intimacy of Creativity [IC) is an annual program of music concerts and workshops hosted at HKUST. The objective of IC is to bridge the chasm that has sprung up between musical composition and musical performance. says IC Artistic Director Prof Bright Sheng, the Y K Pao D1stingu1shed Visiting Professor of Cul tural Studies of HKUST. To achieve this goal. IC invites established and emerging international composers and performers to Hong Kong to present and revise their music composit ions after vigorous discussions among composers. performers. and HKUST students. ··As far as I know, there·s no other program like IC in the world;· Prof Sheng says. Each year. the event of IC attracts over a thousand students to observe very closely the creat ive process and the interaction between composers and 120 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty Creativi!J through Arts performers. Prof Sheng is delighted by this phenomenon. ·we want all of our students to witness and experience what if s l ike to be an artist;· he says. "Fostering an appreciation for music will help HKUST students regardless of their chosen major field:· says Prof Lee. ··Music stimulates creativity in many pursuits. including in various academic fields and in life:· Prof Lee says. "At HKUST, we hope that music education for our students will not Mly sharpen their academic performance. but also enhance their abi lity to appreciate life.·· HKUSrs commitment to the arts extends beyond music. The University is constantly exploring ways to strengthen and expand nts arts curriculum. and differs from many peer institutions by placing a special emphasis on creativity cultivation through exposure to art creation. For this reason, many of HKUSrs creative arts teachers are active practitioners of their crafts who can teach students to understand art from the perspective of producers rather than j ust consumers and cri tics. "We want our students to understand the arts from the perspective of creators and producers. and not just as consumers and cri tics:· Prof Lee says.

It was HKUST's first foray into the world of MOOCs, or massive open online courses. After adjustment to this new mode of teaching, where one has little idea of who the students are, Prof Sharif began to see the advantages that MOOCs can offer an instr uctor. "I had 21,000 enrollees in that first course," Prof Sharif says. "I haven't taught 21 .000 in my entire careerl"' Another even more popular MOOC course is offered by Prof King Chow, Director of the Interdisciplinary Programs Office and Professor in Life Science. It is about the science of gastronomy, which introduces students to basic scientific principles behund cooking and cuisine preparations. The course attracted over 120,000 online student enrollments with highly diverse backgrounds and created a platform to facilitate global exchange in food culture for scient ific exploration and daily-life pleasure. Encouraged by those initial numbers, HKUST launched many more MOOCs. and since 2013 has seen over three-quarter of a million students registered for its MOOC offerings. Many of the university's early MOOCs focused on science and technology. but as the platform has matured and become more popular. more language, social sciences and humanities courses are being offered. Under the strategic steer and strong support from HKUST Execut ive Vice-President and Provost Prof Wei Shyy, HKUST has invested heavily in thee-learning over the years: HKUSTwas one of the first universities in Asia to form a partnership with C oursera and edX, the two most popular global MOOC platforms. and recently established the Center for Education Innovation (CEil to develop more MOOCs and experiment with other forms of e-learning. "We feel that e-learning is a disru pt1ve technology that is going to change the entire educational scene," says Prof Ting-C huen Pong, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST and Director of the Center for Engineering Education Innovation.

Today, DJI is the world's leading producer of commercial drones. 132 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty Mr Frank Wang's path to becoming the world's first drone billionaire began in 2006, when he launched OJI Innovations from his dorm room at HKUST. Today, OJI is the world's leading producer of drones. and the company's signature Phantom model sells for about US$1,000 each and is known for its ease of use and its ability to capture stunning aerial photography and video. According to the most recent data, the company·s annual sales is about US$160 million. Mr Wang developed the flight-controller system that would power his flying robots as a graduate student working with Prof Zexiang Li, a professor of Electronic and Computer Engineering at HKUST. who now serves as DJl's chai rman. He eventually moved his operations to Shenzhen and slowly began expanding his product line from just flight controllers to multirotor drones. ·we felt a multi rotor drone should be very simple, very small. very reliable and very cheap, .. Mr Wang told the Wall Street Journal. "If people could use it the market will be larger." Mr Wang credits his experiences and the support he received at HKUST, as well as the manufacturing edge that being near Shenzhen gave him, for DJl's early success. "Technology plus high-volume production allowed us to attain our recent position in international markets," Mr Wang says. OJI is perhaps the best known example of a successful technology spinoff developed at HKUST, but there are many others. Prof Ke1 May Lau. Chair Professor in HKUST's Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, Fang Professor of Engineering. and Director of HKUST's Photonics Technology Center also successfully spun off her research in creating different companies. One. Cledos. whose new "airLED bulb" promises to be 25 percent more energy efficient than other LED products. Another company she co-founded integrates LED technology into silicon circuits to create a new type of m icro display that could one day be used in wearable technologies. Prof Karl Tsim, Chair Professor of Life Science at H KUST, has ventured into the technology transfer of anti-wrink le skin business by producing a fu ll set of skin products along a Bird's nest series and a Cordyceps series. Both series were highly successful and awarded "The Best Selling Product" and "The Best Own Brand" by Watsons since 2014 and 2015 respectively. His PhD student Dr Gallant Chan, for example, worked under his supervision on the safety and quality assurance of Edible Bird's Nest [EBN] and discovered that a compound called N-acetylneuraminic acid [NANAI, was the maJor component of EBN responsible for the skin lightening function. Alter collaborating with a skincare manufacturer on the active ingredients of some skincare products. they discovered an optimization procedure to raise the NANA and protein levels as well as the anti-oxidation capacity in the products. The skin whitening effect was increased by 12% through this technology. This discoverydr iven enhancement of the Bird's Nest series products resulted in 20-30% increase in annual market return in Shanghai alone. After graduating from HKUST. Mr Anik Dey went into business with his faculty mentor and former team mates from the Human Language Technology Center, and together they used insights from their research on artificial intelligence. speech recognition. and machine learning to develop the Mood Box, a "smart speaker" that can learn a listener's musical taste and pick songs based on their moods. Unlike similar products on the market such as Amazon's Echo speakers, the MoodBox is emot ionally aware. "It can understand if you are happy, sad, or upset ... Mr Dey says. "I love the Amazon Echo, but we·re aiming for a different crowd who are more music oriented ... Mr Dey says developing the MoodBox would not have been possible without the support of HKUST. which gave his team HK$2.5 million from a University fund set up specifically to help entrepreneurs. The seed money allowed Dey to rent an office and build a small team to design and build the MoodBox. "Across Hong Kong, 'incubators· are becoming popular because they provide mentors and office space and connections to potential investors ... Mr Dey says. "HKUST was our incubator." To better promote these innovative discoveries to the wider community and to faci litate town and gown partnership, the University has been running a unique program entitled "Science-fo r-Lunch" since 2011. Init iated by the Institutional Advancement and Outreach Committee of the University Council. "Science-for-Lunch" is a regular luncheon talk event where HKUST professors share scientific discoveries and innovative technologies with local investors, business representatives and philanthropists to explore potential collaborations and commercialization opportunities. /,JI: An unmanned miniature helicopter developed at HKUST made the world's first autonomous flight to Mount Everest. setting a milestone both in the history of unmanned aviation and in the surveying and protection of high altitude environments. m~m~~~OOD~~~ffll.AM~A~~·~ ;g-~~m11m.!!l:"tllllllff~.!11v..

It sparked a fervent wave of student and professor-led entrepreneurship ideas being submitted as executive summaries to the competition. OJI, the star of all HKUST-related spun off companies, participated in the inaugural competition and became a sponsor of subsequent competitions. HKUST is unique among greater China academic institutions in its decades-long effort to inspire, educate, engage and foster next-generation entrepreneurs. Beyond pioneering a technology transfer infrastructure which encourages faculty and students to take their scientific and technical innovations to the marketplace, the Entrepreneurship Center IECI was established in 1999 with the mission of organizing various co-curricular and extracurr icular entrepreneurial activities. Other than the One Mill ion Dollar Entrepreneurship Competition, the Center also organizes other competitions to sharpen student presentation skills and provide valuable feedbacks to their business plans. They also award or recognize those high achievers. 138 HKUSf 25th Annil'crsary I Prometheus in the Sty They attract hundreds of H KUST students and alumni to compete on their business plans at the highest level. Beyond activities. EC also manages and maintains a co-work space called The BASE. On a typical day at The BASE, which has a mountaineering theme, students are seen brain-storming in groups on their laptops, sitting in bean bags hashing out ideas, and refin ing their business plans or prototypes. HKUST also has a unique two-year Master of Philosophy I MPhil) postgraduate program in the School of Engineering called Technology Leadership and Entrepreneurship, or TLE. The degree program aims to instill in its students a diverse knowledge of science, engineering and business, so that they are well-prepa1red for working in the technology sector after they graduate or to start their own technology companies. Prof Terrence Yee. the Associate Director of the program, says, ·we give our students a full spectrum in terms of technology development, everything from the R&D to the business side, which includes marketnng and funding ...

One of his class exercises instills in his students the importance of crafting a compelling story for their products. 'What you want is a story that describes your unique value and makes your customers want what you·re offering. Traditional business planning follows a very linear model. but entrepreneurship and innovation are circular. iterative processes. where you keep refining and refining:· he said. Recently the University has set up a Committee on Entrepreneurship Educat ion Program to revamp the Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Minor program by introducing more updated curriculum driven by case studies and experiential learning. Besides courses such as finance, marketing and IT entrepreneurship, new entrepreneurship courses have been developed covering from social innovations. industrial landscapes. and global product development. ··Entrepreneurship is the starting of new business or service that adds economic, social. and cultural value ... says Prof En boa Wu. the new Associate Vice-President for Knowledge Transfer. ··HKUST has operated the Entrepreneurship Program [EPI si nce 1999 and Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities [TSSSUI since 2014. Over one hundred HKUST startup companies have been benefited from these two in itiatives. many are well established and are creating economic. social and cultural values to the local societies.· While many countries are busy developing strategies to tackle poor student performance in the sciences and mathematics, Hong Kong also has a different problem: catering to the needs of its most gifi:ed and talented. Gifted Students program. He says that in the beginning , he and colleagues realized the need to recruit the city"s top talents to their young university with a reputation yet to be established. '"Many years ago we realized that if we wanted to be a good university, we had to have good students:· explains Prof Wong. By identifying and helping to develop the city"s top scientific talents they also attracted many of them to come to HKUST. But much to his disappointment. Prof Ng reca lls that a number of the most promising students from the Olympiad program failed to maintain that success after matriculation. ··They had difficulty working with others:· he reca lls. HKUST"s Development for the Gifted and Talented Program. formed in 2010, was designed to address the disconnect between the exceptional abilities these students possessed. and their lack of interpersonal skills that prevented them from thriving longterm in the scientific community. The program offers gifted high-school students the option of enrolling in special Saturday classes taught by H KUST faculty. The classes are tailored to the students· needs across all subjects and help them hone their skills in their specific area of ability, while also providing mentorship from older students and faculty. Prof Chow says rather than focusing on tests or competitions, the program is meant to inspire students to work collaboratively. and help them develop their passion for science. ··They suddenly find their own peers:· says Prof Chow. They make friends. They respect each other. And the difference he says is immediate and dramatic. ··The parents tell us they hate to go to school on weekdays, but they never miss a class on Saturday:· Prof Ng is taking what he has learned at HKUST and applying it citywide. Working directly with an initiative of the Hong Kong Government, he is helping to strategically implement and grow similar partnerships in gifted education with other universities, as well as provide cost-free alternatives to those who cannot afford fee -based programs.

Hong Kong also has a different problem: catering to the needs of its most gifted and talented. "Hong Kong is very good at providing general education to average students,·· says Prof Tai Kai Ng, Chair Professor of HKUST Department of Physics and currently the Executive Director of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education. a nongovernment organization set up under the Gifted Ed1Jcation Public Policy, which is devoted to developing university partnerships for gifted students. "But gifted students are very different from the average ... Prof Ng explains. "Being different isn't easy for any teenager. And while being smarter than all your classmates isn·t generally a recipe for popularity, failure to fit in can be really troubling for teens in a Chinese cultural setting ... explains Prof Ng. "They fee l very lonely at their own schools, 144 HKUSf 251h Annil'crsary I Prometheus in the Sty and sometimes they feel they are not accepted by the community. This is especially true in the Chinese culture where the norm is very important. It 1s not considered very wise to be different:· he says. Those feelings of isolation or boredom often lead to behavioral problems instead of high marks. says Prof King Chow, Director of Interdisciplinary Programs Office and Director of the University's Development for the Gifted and Talented Team. "In high school, usually they are seen as problem kids," says Prof Chow. But Profs Ng and Chow together with other faculty at H KUST have made it their mission to turn these "problem kids" into the city·s next generation of preeminent academic s.cholars, through a number of programs designed to nurture their interest and develop their potential.

HKUST"s School of Humanities and Social Science began to develop an undergraduate degree program. It was designed as one that would draw upon the unique strengths of the School and provide education other than business. science. and engineering. The curriculum committee eventually came up with a BSc in Global China Studies IGCS) In retrospect. it was the right choice. GCS was envisaged as a program to develop students as leaders of tomorrow by training them to analyze the social. cultural, historical. economic. and political issues pertaining to China in a globa l context. It aims at enabling students to understand China from a global perspective. which is neither Western nor China- centered but an organic integration of both. There are many China studies programs in China and overseas. HKUST was the only university that invented a GCS program in 2012. Physically connected to mainland China, Hong Kong retains a good deal of Chinese cultural heritage. and yet has been more immersed in Western influence under British rule than any other part of China for over a century and a hall. Universities in the Special Administrative Region maintain close connections with international academia as well as universities throughout the mainland. As one of the most international 150 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty China Goes Global and cosmopolitan campuses in Hong Kong, HKUST is a right place to initiate such a program . .. Being situated in Hong Kong, we have a unique opportunity to study China. and our students can go back and fo rth to the mainland:· says David Zweig, a Chair Professor of Social Science at HKUST. GCS graduates are trained to understand China from a global perspective and that is vital to their careers, .. because Hong Kong·s future is linked to China:· Prof Zweig holds. Despite focusing largely on China. Prof James Lee views GCS as really being an interdisciplinary program as it seeks to understand China·s role in the world . .. The ideal Global China Studies student is someone who. in addition to being interested in the local, in this sense China, is also interested in global phenomenon, because the program studies the impact of globalization on China. and the impact of China on the global economy, the global environment, the global polity, and global s.ociety:· s.ays. Prof Lee, Dean of Humanities and Social Science. The study of China in global and comparative perspectives happens to be a popular research topic among many of the School"s faculty over the past two decades. Prof Lee·s own research group. for instance, is conducting a mas.sive longitudinal s.tudy of the graduates of China ·s Peking University. With data going back to 1898. the team is examining the correlations between certain s.tudent attributes and the degree of success in their careers. His earlier co-authored book One Quarter of Humanity challenged the fallacy of Thomas Malthus about China and won dist inguished awards from the American Sociological Association and the Social Science History Association. Other examples are Prof Bozhong Li, Professor Emeritus in Humanities, who received the Third Prize of Guo Moruo Award for his book on the economic history of late imperial China in comparison with early modern Europe; and Prof Wenkai He, Associate Professor in Social Science, who was granted the Barnngton Moore Book Award of the American Sociological Association for his book Paths toward the Modern Fiscal State comparing England, Japan, and China.

Proflrene Lo'sgroup pioneered che use ofreu able magnetic nanopanicles ro remove toxic com pounds from soil and wastewater. Being able to recycle them in this way means that ProfLo's nanoparticles are significantly cheaper to deploy than other cleanup techniques. The Chinese Government needed Prof Irene Lo·s help. A r iver located in Guangdong province had become so polluted that not only was the water contaminated, the river sediment itself had become tainted by fou lsmell ing organic compounds. "The r iver was quite smelly, especially in summertime:· says Prof Lo. Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at H KUST. Because of her expertise in environmental cleanup techniques, Prof Lo was asked to help come up with a way to eliminate the odor. Prof Lo recommended a novel bioremediation process involving the use of different groups of bacteria to not only suppress the smell but to also degrade the organic pollutants in the sediment so that the problem did not recur. "The sediment already contained various kinds of bacteria groups necessary for the cleanup. lit was Just a matter of stimulating the growth of one group for over another at different stages of the process:· Prof Lo says. "First. we stimulated one group to suppress the smell, and then we changed the sediment conditions so that another group of bacteria could become dominant and biodegrade the organic pollutants:· Prof Lo is well known for coming up with creative ways to clean up the environment. Her group also pioneered the use of reusable magnetic nanoparticles to remove toxic compounds from soil and wastewater. Other scientists have developed nanoparticles capable of removing pollutants, but Prof Lo·s breakthrough was creating one that could be safely recovered from the aqueous environment afterward. ··our iron-based 156 HKUSf 251h Annil'crsary I Prometheus in the Sty Saving the Planet nanoparticles are magnetic, so by turning on an external magnetic field, we can recover them. separate them from the pollutant. and then reuse them ... Prof Lo says. Being able to recycle them in this way means that Prof Lo·s nanoparticles are significantly cheaper to deploy than other cleanup techniques. "A conventional treatment method for treating Cr[Vl]-containing industrial wastewater might cost US$2 per cubic meter of wastewater ... Prof Lo says. .. But using our technology, the average treatment cost is about 70 cents per cubic meter of wastewater ... Prof Lo finds satisfaction in doing research that benefits society. "I don't want to do research just for publication," Prof Lo says. "] really want to see my research findings applied in the real world." Whereas Prof Lo's research is focused on removing pollutants with resource recovery from the environment. her colleague Prof Benzhong Tang is developing innovative ways to spot them in the first place. In 2001. Prof Tang's lab accidentally discovered a new class of glowing materials that appeared to defy a central tenant of fluorescent systems. namely that the emissions from light emitting molecules s.hould become weaker the more t ightly packed they become. 'What we found was the complete opposite," says Prof Tang, who is the Stephen Kam Chuen Cheong Professor of Science. and Chair Professor of Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering, at HKUST. 'When they are in solution. there is no emission, but when they aggregate, they emit very efficiently." This phenomenon, which Prof Tang dubbed agg regation-induced emiss.ion IAIEI. has practical applications for a wide range of fields, but one of its most exciting potential uses is for environmental monito ring. Al Es could be combined with compounds designed to latch onto organic compounds or toxic heavy metals to c reate powerful chemical sensors that glow in the presence of pollutants. That fortunate discovery in 2001 forever changed Prof Tang·s research career, leading him to shift his academic focus from the creation of synthetic polymers to the study of Al Es. His group has. since discovered over 100 unique fluorescent materials. "It was a big change in my research direction," Prof Tang says, "but I realized we were onto something that was potentially very exciting." The SANI !Sulphate reduction, Autotrophic denitrification and Nitrification Integrated] Process is a novel sewage treatment technology developed by Prof Guanghao Chen. Chair Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Since 2013, a large-scale trial of SANI technology has been successfully implemented at Shatin Sewage Treatment Works at a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters a day. 2014 was another milestone year; UNESCO-I HE Institute of Water Education partnered with HKUST on a three-year water-saving project "AGUA PARA TOOOS" !More Water for Alli in Cuba using the SANI technology developed by Prof Chen. which is proved to be one of the most economical and energy efficient ways for water saving in islands and coastal cities. . lb,.-, & R!,ht: In 200 I.

KUST's aerospace engineering program, like the University itself, is young but very ambitious. Launched less than three yea rs ago, it nevertheless aims to become a global leader in all things related to flight. In 2013. HKUST's Department of Mechanical Engineering was renamed Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering IMAEI. The modification was a nod to the growing interest within the University in the design, development. construction, and testing of aircraft and spacecraft. Since taking up the Head of the new MAE department in the summer of 201/4, Prof Christopher Chao has been developing 162 HKUSf 251h Annil"crsary I Prometheus in the Sty ttie program with severa l new faculty members, including Prof Xin Zhang as ttie first Swire Professor of Aerospace Engineering. The department is looking to hire more. The program accepted its first cohort of 30 undergraduates and a number of postgraduate students in the fall of 2015. ·-we are now working hard to build up our new education and research programs in aeronautical engineering together with many ongoing missions in our core mechanical engineering disciplines," Prof Chao says. Several factors motivated the creation of HKUSTs aerospace engineering program, said Prof Wei Shyy, Executive Vice-President & Provost and Chair Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

But corporate interest alone might not have been enough to create a separate aerospace engineering track within the University. What also helped the idea take off was the strong interest from HKUST's students themselves. The popularity of groups such as Aeronautics Interest Group IAIG] and the HKUST Student Branch of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronaut ics IAIAA) on campus proved that a strong interest in flight already existed amongst HKUST's students. "One of our program·s key strengths is that we have a group of very passionate students ... Prof Chao says. "I think they·re our major asset." With the full support of the University, the aerospace engineering program is pushing forward with some maJor initiatives in the years ahead. Considering the advancement in aerospace engineering and sciences. as well as strong societal implicat ions, HKUST will promote sustainable aviation. unmanned air vehicle systems. and frontier research in emerging and cross-disciplinary areas. Other exciting developments include investigations into ways to reduce aircraft emissions and "biologically-inspired" flight-that is, the creation of unmanned aircraft inspired by birds and insects such as bumblebees and dragonflies. "We are now at a point where the materials are light enough and the sensors and batteries are small enough that we can begin to think about the development of such small vehicles ... Prof Shyy says. HKUST's aerospace engineering program also plans to capitalize on the University's close proximity to Shenzhen. one of the most advanced manufacturing sites in the world. ·we have an excellent ecosystem in this reg ion to prototype new designs quickly and cheaply," Prof Shyy says. "This will benefit our faculty and students greatly, and help them do things that will position our program very well." Ir quantum computers are the next generation of computer, then HKUST Profs lam Keong Sou and Vic Law could be said to be working on next next-gen computing technology. The pair are helping lay the groundwork for a so-called topological quantum computer that is much more stable than quantum computer systems that exploit the strange quantum-mechanical properties of atoms and fundamental particles such as photons and electrons for computational tasks. Unlike silicon-based computers, which require data to be encoded into binary bits that exist in one of two states (0 or 1 I. quantum computation uses quantum bits, or .. qubits, .. that can occupy multiple states simultaneously. This ability to operate in a "superposition" of states means quantum computers have the potential to be 168 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty OJtanlum Computing staggeringly powerful, requiring just a few minutes to crunch through problems that would take an ordinary computer longer than the age of the universe to solve. But today's primitive quantum computers s.uffer from two main drawbacks: they require extremely cold tempera tures- just a few degrees above absolute zero-to operate, and they are extremely fragi le . .. The very act of try to read or write data using a quantum computer disturbs the quantum state of the part icles and changes the information you're trying to access (a phenomenon called .. decoherence"l. .. says Prof Sou, Professor of Physics at HKUST. "This, along with the temperature requirement, is why we don't all have quantum computing laptops yet." Work by Profs. Sou and Law could potentially address both of these issues. For the last several years, Prof Sou, an experimentalist, Unlike silicon-based computers, which require data to be encoded into binary bits that exist in one of two states (0 or 1), quantum computation uses quantum bits, or "qubits," that can occupy multiple states simultaneously. and Law, a theonst who specializes in condensed matter. have been working on developing a platform capable of trapping a theoretical quantum particle known as the Majorana fermion. Many scientists believe this elusive particle, first predicted to exist in 1937, us the key to ··practical quantum computing" because it could enable the development of a topological quantum computer that is exceptionally stable and not susceptible to external influences and noise. "Majorana fermions are special because, unlike electrons, they occur in pairs," Prof Sou says. "The pairs are located in different spatial locations. which enJoys a longdistance quantum link that should make the Majorana fermions robust to decoherence" In 2014, Prof Sou·s group published a paper in Nature Communications detailing a platform they built that could, in theory. be used to contain and control the fabled particle. The key to the team·s platform is a superconducting material made from two thin film mater ials that are themselves not superconducting. Prof Sou·s group is currently trying to uncover the mechanism behind this induced superconductivity. ··so far, we don't understand it:' Prof Sou says. • lbore: Prof lam Keong Sou has been working on trapping an elusive particle which is the key to "practical quantum computing"- it could enable the development of a topological quantum computer that is exceptionally stable and not susceptible to external influences and noise. lll!~fl~-il.ttJJ~lffilill/il!lUil> ' !!!lll!iH~t~s Hllt9\Jl111ialf.iH· · ~~'P:fl:!lU>lt,~lill~lliffiJall!lE ifiix.::r-g~~9ftt~ll'l;JO~§~"®l6/l•:fu • Solving this mystery could be the key to overcoming quantum computing·s temperature problem. Prof Sou says. "If we can understand how these two materials together create superconductivity, we could try to tune some parameters to boost up the superconducting temperature," he adds. "Our goal is to build a robust quantum computer that works at room temperature." Prof Law. Assistant Professor of Physics. said that while he is hopeful that the existence of Maiorana fermions might be confirmed in the near future, he thinks topological quantum computers will take much longer to develop. In the meantime. his group is working on other applications of topolog1ca l superconductors that might be realized sooner. They might, for example, be useful in spintronics, a field that aims to manipulate the spin of electrons rather than their charge. Being a theorist, Prof Law says he does not typically need sophisticated instruments or supercomputers to conduct his research. "In my group, your brain is the main equipment." he joked. "Fortunately. HKUST is one of the top universities in Asia, so we attract some very good students ... , 11,o,,r: Pruf Vic Law and his group are working on other applications of lopolog,cal superconductors that might be realized sooner. ~~~~~w~~~~mn~~~~a i199!61lUt:!lll~Wffll • jgf\Ml/JaAA® ff'1 tm:n~11U}M-1"11i/~ (l{J ~ 1J PJ ~::Jc{~ It A , J=H'IJ~:5Hlil0!PJ mtMH!HU~ :a~;1c%:tt!!~*f''-t~~~$liftJ r..u n • llDfflciB-~~~-~Ue9~ • llir~f.1~1;:~99 i¥~il!lim~iotura11Jll!~oJ~~iEE&1~;:urn~~ 0\JM~~WJ • ffifi'.lll1~89fi71~1.MiilU'H~ll!\1!!:!i'.lE~ • ffilUB· ~i!ltU~lfllill-3'-e\Jtlit¥il-3'-J:1~1,jtifO,'H El. ~H~ ~4m-3'-~rrll~e\Jm-3'-~~~m~~:.'.E• ~~~~m~~~~fflM= ~ru~·RoJ~ ffi@~!'il(O§.li1) : fi-:r~l!lllUiflfliHfi'.l~ • oJ1918\i ~ffi~ijljlt!;/&i • ~ijijill1JO~~e\JllliJJ8:ll,UHlH~l!l 05.JffiJJoJC!-1;:lijJi.A. · R~U!b}iiiil!oJ~i~~lii~l!l 11Et51::'!iUl!Y~~~~':¥ffl\ffle5.lrcJJ!i'.i • ~ffii•§ooe\Jlill~R-:rU~~j;:fflo:£~RoJU ~ffl1sl.~~~1lf~II!'e\Jtiflt;!J:;~cpllf'F · ffii.13.m~ ~~lfllft • f-11;:~Ell_~~ill§~ll!~~ : rm~ffl M-3'-~~•@s.li~A~~4~8~~~~m-3'-e5Jffl-3'l& i · M~~ffi@e5J~~(~~r~fflTJl,Un • lzl~~-!o , lJO.tf..l;lllill5.1~51< • tnUID*liH~tl:l !!Hm~<t>-~· J illl1JifDimll1Jie\JliJl~§.liciJ~1,(_tlfilffi1i~Bli • i§~ 12:1:j: , =!i!~~ii:~ffl:fO:JHU.illlllw!i:®:H!llffl-lli l&J:lllll~~-B · lffilJEfifllJ~~~ffiWi*-3-e5.1Ell_/;ili IHtiH• i&liD t/JillEe5.l*H ~ 193 7:1:l:~J'!'U!lVf.ftt · l&~f-1~ ~ffiia£~ r zfflii-3-8i°~J e\JHfil · lzl1sl.'8/lliil f-l~~filf~tl:l~Jtffl.:.'.EffiiX1'~!i5!i~9m~lllD~~ ~tl'fl9ffi~liH·U • 170 HKUSf 251h Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty iiUlHialt : CJ:li.~ti'.iN?lli*-3-;z/TIUffil.ltl ' ~I!]~ Em~-3-1'~·~-~f..lllime5.l•Ma:7:t~1'~~M uHi • ~JltJ\tf:Jttl,Wlft*-3-Ul;!'ij"Ja~~HHffl!& ' m •JtHtff • 99/illJJlfH'.!l • J 201/4$ , l/iUl11te\J&l~III~~ ( Nature Commun1cations) J!Jlf!J~~~:i:z: · ~J!lliHB/i!'.ll":lrlll~8\JSJ?-~ ' l91ilff..t.6J/:ll*mA~D~ilitl!Bll!W~cpe\Jff*-3- • 3¥~ B'iJl;m~ - fflilBllJ'lltM~ • EBffill:.l>-~,G~fflilBllJ~ t1e5.l~num~lili • Nifil • 1mliiE~.1Jliir-~:t1~ ~m/J.J~tt~iie'illii&J. inm~: r¥mlf!l~.Lt' ttff"llt<~*'ij"~~ • J i/i;~lt111ltl:l , /lliWlfl!.1~1i&\tlil~ti~5%~~iB~ ;!JJitPciOfl9!ffllt O rromttff"l~S~~ffll*ml1•,cJtt ~~;z~~~m~~tt·~oJ•~~~~ti·~~ lBllJe\Jj!JJ!t.

When Prof Che Ting Chan first watched the Harry Potter films and saw the boy wizard vanish beneath an invisibility cloak. he could not help but be reminded that he was watching a fantasy movie, but it was not because Harry Potter could vanish by putting on a simple garment. Prof Chan, the Daniel CK Yu Professor of Science. and Chair Professor of Physics at HKUST. was aware that scientists were close to creating devices that could achieve a sim ilar effect through the manipulation of l ight. Rather, what Prof Chan found unrealistic about the invisibility scenes was the fact that Harry Potter could be hidden inside his invisibility cloak and still be able to see the world around him. ·'The invisibility cloaks that have been designed so far work by excluding l ight from a region, .. Prof Chan says. "What this means is that the object. or person, being cloaked is totally blinded by the cloak ... In 2009. Prof Chan·s team devised an alternative strategy for invisibility that achieves an effect closer to the one featured in the Harry Potter stories. The group developed plans for an "invisibility umbrella" that could conceal an object next to it while still allowing it to see its surroundings. In theory, the invisibility umbrella would work by functioning as an "anti-object .. that exactly cancels out the light scatter of the object next to it. "It is like 1 + 1-11 is equal too:· Prof Chan says. 174 HKUSf 25th Annircrsary I Prometheus in the Sty H any Potter's lnmsib/,e Cloak Prof Chan·s invisibility umbrella takes advantage of a relatively new class of manmade materials that possess propert ies that "go beyond" !"meta" in Greek! materials found in nature. For example, the metamaterials that scientists are considering for invisibility cloaks and umbrellas can bend light in strange and unnatural ways. But it does not stop there, Prof Chan says. "The same idea can actually allow us to design not only cloaks for light. but also manipulate other kinds of waves such as sound waves and even seismic waves:· he adds. This is not just scientific speculation. Prof Chan·s colleagues at HKUST. Profs Ping Sheng and Jason Yang have already developed acoustic metamaterials for use in sound proofing. "Today. thick or heavy walls are needed to effectively block the noise passing from outside to inside of one's home:· says Prof Yang, a Professor of Physics at HKUST. For Prof Yang. noise is not Just a nuisance, but also a health and social issue. A 2014 European Environment Agency report warns that in Europe each year there are 10,000 noise related pre-mature deaths, and 125 million people living in noisy environment. "Tranquility becomes the luxury affordable only to the privileged few, and seems to have been forever lost to the unfortunate many." Prof Yang says. Working with Prof Ping Sheng, Prof Jason Yang has developed an acoustic meramarerial char is nor only lightweight and compact, bur also affordable and highly efficient at blocking low frequency noise. Low frequency noise such as the kind generated by human footfa lls, heavy metal music. trains, and machines at construction sites are especially pernicious and difficult to dampen. But working with Prof Ping Sheng, the Or William MW Mong Chair Professor of Nanoscience at H KUST. Prof Yang has developed an acoustic metamaterial that is not only lightweight and compact . but also affordable and highly efficient at blocking low frequency noise. Remarkably, the key component of their acoustic metamaterial- ca lled decorated membrane resonators. or DMRs-are made from very ordinary materia ls, such as common plastics and aluminum foi l. "It's how the materials are arranged that is crucial. What they're made of is less important," Prof Yang says. Prof Yang's group is also working on metamaterial "dampers'" capable of absorbing vibrations and converting them into heat. Prof Yang is already busy dreaming up potential applications for such a technology. "You could put vibration dampers underground around a building to shield its foundation:· he says, "so that when an earthquake strikes, the building doesn't shake ... I " , Low frequency noise such as the kind generated by human footfalls. heavy metal music. trains. and construction site machines are especially pernicious and difficult to dampen.
