The College of Science (CSCI) again hosted a conversation with Professor Serge Haroche, the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physics, on 22 November. Titled “Exploring Frontiers: A Conversation with Nobel Laureate in Physics”, the sharing has attracted almost 100 participants.

Fifteen scholars from the College of Science (CSCI) were named Highly Cited Researchers 2024 by Clarivate, which accounts almost half of the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) list of 32 awardees.

With financial support from CityUHK, Issac Ho, a third-year student from CSCI’s flagship GREAT programme (Physics stream), finished a fruitful 6-month research internship at the University of Cambridge in August 2024. His research is about condensed matter physics, which requires delicate equipment and precise measurement skills.

With support from the College, Tasha Lam has undertaken the co-operative educational scheme for science students to work on a research project related to the catalytic decomposition of plastics in Professor Edman Tsang’s group at the University of Oxford in the summer of 2024.

To facilitate successful grant applications and recruitment of HKPFS students, the College of Science (CSCI) held the 2024 Grants Application Sharing Sessions: Success in HKPFS and on GRF/ECS on 28 Aug 2024.

Congratulations to Professor Chun Kit Kwok, Associate Professor from the Department of Chemistry of the College of Science (CSCI), as one of the awardees of the RGC Research Fellow Scheme in 2024/25.
