High Quality Supervision

"Dr Chow has been an excellent mentor, teacher and supervisor. As a research postgraduate student under her supervision, I have been inspired by her passion for research and teaching. Dr Chow is not only knowledgeable in research methodology, she teaches us to ask constructive research questions that can benefit the society. I have learned more under the supervision of Dr Chow than I have in any classroom through her method of experiential learning where we all have hands-on experience with data sets, teaching tutorials, research and literature review. The successful experience in muddling through the process develops our confidence to move on our own studies."

“Professor Loo’s approach has been extremely useful in helping me accustoming myself quickly to the standards and expectations of academia.  Within the first year of my doctoral studies, I already made three presentations at local and overseas conferences.  This experience, made possible by Professor Loo, is important because it has helped me recognize my potential as a productive research student.”

 “Professor Chan pays considerable effort in encouraging her students to take part in her research projects and providing her students with sponsorship to attend international conferences so as to enable her students to explore the cutting edge of science and develop networks for collaboration with international experts.  Her passion for research has influenced us and given us positive reinforcement to work hard, while enjoying the learning process.  I am deeply impressed by her spirit of never giving up.”

"Professor Zhou has extensive contacts with research institutes and universities in China and countries in the West, enabling some of his students to gain research experience in laboratories in addition to those at HKU.  For instance, I had several opportunities to work in laboratories in the United States and China as part of my PhD studies, which were very useful in establishing links to researchers that I am currently collaborating with.”

"Dr Shih’s passion of interacting with students, generous office hours in helping student’s learning difficulties, efforts in quality course development, and innovative teaching methods are surely a great lesson for us who will also be teachers in the future ."
