I chose to pursue my PhD studies at HKBU because of its vibrant community of interdisciplinary scholars and top-notch research facilities.

I would like to express my gratitude to Research Grants Council and HKBU for selecting me as an HKPFS awardee, which gives me an excellent platform to work with world-class researchers, especially with my supervisor in a very well-equipped lab. I am also happy with my lab-mates because of their cordial cooperation, which makes my research work more enjoyable. The School of Chinese Medicine provides modern technologies and facilities for conducting cutting-edge research that attracted me immensely. Besides, the generous funding of HKPFS is pivotal for awardees to participate in various conferences to exchange ideas, extend our research collaborations, and purchase books and research-related materials to help maintain our study effectively. I believe HKPFS and HKBU will make me a more productive and efficient researcher.

My research field is organic photovoltaic, focusing on utilizing solar energy, which is one of the most potential substitutions to traditional energy source. With the effort of researchers and entrepreneurs, organic photovoltaic could be a game-changer in commercialisation. HKBU provides so many opportunities for students to participate in scholar seminars and international conferences, allowing us to learn from notable scholars and get trained. Our professors are so great, humble and warm hearted. They supervise my academic progress and help me to sharpen my mind and get insight into this field.

The Academy of Visual Arts (AVA) provides a diverse and open international academic environment and allows me to engage with creative practitioners, artists, and scholars from different parts of the world. It also provides researchers access to artist studios, fully-equipped art workshops and digital media research studios for their practical research. In addition, HKPFS offers extra funding for research purposes throughout the years of studies. I believe the excellent research environment, perhaps rare to find in other research institutions and universities worldwide, makes AVA an excellent choice— full of opportunities for researchers and students.
