Xue Weiqi is currently a PhD candidate in Civil Engineering. His company, INNOWAT Limited, was set up last year to help wastewater treatment plants produce sulfated polysaccharides (a valuable and widely used industrial feedstock) so they can generate profit and reduce pollution at the same time. "Creating economic profit to compensate for operational costs during wastewater treatment is promising and important, especially for developing countries.

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.

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.

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.

HKUST is a very modern university with knowledgeable professors and abundant library resources. It offers students various opportunities for self-development. I hope to use what I learn here to make more and more progress in my research in the future.
