Ph.D/ M.Phil Graduates Message

As a former member of the BU physics society, I want to say again “go BU physics!”

My name is Tony Hui. I’m an assistant professor at the T. H. Chan School of Public Health of Harvard University. My scientific journey started right here at the Department of Physics of HKBU, where I got my Bachelor of Science and Master of Philosophy. The rigorous physics training I received prepared me well to venture into different fields of scientific research. My lab’s current research focus is to understand important diseases such as obesity by taking the unique approach of quantifying metabolic fluxes, which is only possible with a good understanding of physics modeling principles. In addition to the course work, I also benefited tremendously from the research experiences in the department. They instilled on me a persevering spirit of pursuing scientific knowledge. It has led me through many challenges in my scientific journey till this day. I am also grateful to the physics department for a very nurturing environment. No matter where I am, the fond memories of people in the department always bring a warm feeling to me. As a former member of the BU physics society, I want to say again “go BU physics!”.
