Prof Guo presented the Best Poster Award to the Winner – Dr Zhou Yuanyuan

Creativity is fundamental to academic life. Given the importance of blue-sky research and its potential value to the innovative discoveries, the Hong Kong Baptist University has set up the “Blue Sky Research Fund” to encourage the researchers to do curiosity-driven work to push the frontiers of science and advance knowledge outside the restriction of a pre-defined agenda.

On 14 September 2022, an Open Forum was organized by the Research Office for the 28 applicants to present their novel research proposals covering a wide spectrum in art and technology, disease detection, AI, climate change, pollution and more. The presentations led to dynamic discussion and idea exchange between the speakers and the audiences.

At the Open Forum, Dr ZHOU Yuanyuan, Assistant Professor of the Department of Physics, was the winner and awarded the Best Poster Award by Prof GUO Yike, Vice-President (Research & Development) of HKBU.
