Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) (English: HKUST &; Technology, HKUST), a highly internationalized research university founded in June19910, is also one of the eight universities in Hong Kong funded by the University Grants Committee that can award degrees. It consists of five colleges: Science College, Engineering College, Business Administration College, Humanities and Social Sciences College and Fok Ying Tung Research Institute. At present, HKUST University ranks among the top 50 in the world. In 20 10, QS ranked it as the second in Asia, second only to the University of Hong Kong. In the field of social sciences, HKUST ranks first among the three places across the Taiwan Strait in the academic ranking of world universities of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and its EMBA courses and mechanical engineering research publications rank first in the world.

Because of its short history, it is impossible to cultivate scholars with high reputation.

Professor Liang Chun from the Department of Biochemistry discovered a new DNA replication initiation protein and a new anti-cancer method in his laboratory, which was published in the journal Cell and Cancer Research.

Professor Zhang from the Department of Biology invented a molecular biosensor to monitor the process of cell apoptosis.

Professor Bing Xu, winner of the first DuPont Eurasian Young Scientists Research Award (200 1), synthesized the world's first hydrosol compound which can inhibit the growth of drug-resistant enterococci.

Han Liqiang, a professor of chemistry department, has developed a new and highly effective antimalarial drug with the support of Bayer Company and World Malaria Foundation, and has now entered the second phase of clinical trials.

The cardiac blood biosensor test chip developed by Professor Reinhard Renberg of the Department of Chemistry has been listed in Germany in 2003.

The Noncommutative Harmonic Analysis of Semi-Simple Lie Groups by Professor Huang Jinsong of Mathematics Department won the second prize of National Natural Science in 2002. Professor Tang Zikang and Professor Wang Kelun from the Department of Physics both won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award in 2003 for their research on room temperature ultraviolet stimulated emission of nanostructured zinc oxide semiconductor films, and Professor Ye Yuru, head of the Department of Biochemistry, won the second prize for his research on the identification of synaptic transmission mechanism of new neuromuscular structures.

The research team of physics department successfully developed carbon nanotubes with a diameter of 0.4 nm, which is by far the thinnest single-walled carbon nanotubes in the world. This research achievement was recommended by academicians of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering as one of the top ten scientific and technological achievements in the world that year.

engineering college

Up to 2006, 1 1 professors in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering were elected as IEEE academicians.

Professor Li Zexiang from the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering was awarded the Technological Innovation Award and the National Natural Science Award by the National Nature Foundation of the United States.
