HKUST offers all-round support from professors in different areas of specialisation, a wide range of research equipment and supporting facilities. I enjoy exploring new topics and being able to add to the existing subject knowledge base with worthwhile contributions of my own.
"A research degree opened up my world to new possibilities. I can travel around the world to meet new people and share our ideas. I can experience different cultures and research environments. I love what I have been doing and I am extremely excited to serve my alma mater." Shingyu has been with the Department of Mathematics at HKUST since 2009. He was educated at HKUST (BSc 99'; MPhil 01') and UCLA (PhD 06'). He is currently an Associate Professor of Mathematics and an Associate Dean of Science.
HKUST has given me so many precious memories. With the support from my supervisor, department staff and everyone I have met at HKUST, I was able to flourish both in my research and in extracurricular activities. I will forever remember my time at HKUST.
HKUST is a haven for students passionate about learning and research. I am particularly glad to get industry exposure through the University. The project I am handling involves an industry partner such that I can conceptualize product designs that are both innovative and practical. HKUST also provides studentship to relieve research students from financial worries so that they can focus on their research.
I am so proud to be a student at this distinguished university with so many excellent professors who have helped me progress and reach the frontiers of my area of research. They have also helped me develop an ability to find and develop important and relevant research topics and to improve my presentation and writing skills. I am very interested in conducting research in the research field of transportation, and my ambition is to be a leading researcher or professor in the field.
I feel blessed to work with world-class talent on one of the most beautiful campuses ever seen. The strategic location of HKUST bridges the gap between academia and industry and thus helps in the understanding of an ever changing real-world. I believe that my studies at this intellectually vibrant place will help me secure a place among world-class researchers.
My study experience at HKUST has been pleasant because of the excellent facilities and world-renowned professors. HKUST offers me so many opportunities for my personal and professional development. After graduation, I would like to establish myself as a professional IC designer in the industry. I'm proud to be a "HKUSTer".
Supported by a Fulbright Junior Research Award, I spent a fruitful year in the U.S. and Switzerland. My project was to explore the nature and the evolution of the earth's atmosphere, and how it affects our lives. It was a great experience that broadened my academic and personal horizons.
HKUST is an ideal place for research work. It has excellent facilities as well as world-class research professionals. The beautiful campus makes the school life very enjoyable. And thanks for the HK PhD Fellowship Scheme, it has largely reduced my financial pressures to pursue my PhD studies in Hong Kong. It gives me great flexibility to choose my research topic. Also, it provides me with unique opportunities to network with outstanding people at HKUST and other universities through the events organized by the University and the Research Grants Council.
It is my honor to join HKUST and pursue my PhD degree here. HKUST has a very beautiful campus which is built along the sea. It makes living on campus a wonderful experience. The knowledgeable professors and high quality facilities make studying at HKUST enjoyable. I hope I can make progress every day in both academic research and personal growth.
