The key takeaway from the "HKUST Industry Engagement Day – AI + Medicine: The Future of Intelligent Healthcare" was that AI and medical innovation will substantially reshape healthcare in the coming years, particularly through advances in data analysis and technology.
This Industry Engagement Day (IED) event, which attracted 150+ faculty members, students, alumni, and industry partners, took place on April 28 at the Kaisa Group Lecture Theater of the HKUST Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study.
Walking past a Computer Science classroom, you might expect rows of students focused on complex algorithms or code. But a lecture by Professor Andrew HORNER from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering is quite different.
There, the air crackles with the energy of what Prof. Horner calls a “Hogwarts magic class,” where students learn to cast visual and sound spells in music videos and trailers as audio designers, editors, and directors.
As a pioneer in interdisciplinary innovation through AI+ and Art Tech development, HKUST has once again gathered global creative forces to reimagine the future of cinematic storytelling.
Following the success of the first AI film festival in Greater China last year, HKUST proudly hosted its 2nd film festival (AIFF) from May 16 to 17.
Dissecting a rat is perhaps not everyone’s most relished activity in biology class, especially if you are a bit squeamish. But innovative teaching tools developed in the Division of Life Science (LIFS) offer a complementary approach to essential dissection activities and much more through this interactive, multimodal learning environment.
It’s a new platform that is creating highly engaging classes for young scientists-in-training at HKUST.
We know that the bond between a teacher and a student can supercharge learning. But what if the “teacher” isn't human?
A recent study from HKUST, published in the neuroscience journal Neuron, suggests that a brief pre-class interaction with an AI can change how your brain prepares for learning.
The horizon of Hong Kong’s scientific achievement reached beyond the atmosphere on May 11, 2026.
As the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft docked with the Tiangong Space Station, it carried a piece of HKUST innovation into the stars.
The Multi-Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory (MUSICO), also dubbed the “Eye for Space”, is a wonder to behold.
The news that he had won the 2026 Croucher Tak Wah Mak Innovation Award was “almost hard to believe,” says Prof. WANG Jue from HKUST’s Department of Physics.
Prof. Wang says the award “carries a special meaning” and seems “almost like an angel investment” because it presents him with greater freedom “to build new experimental platforms and explore ambitious directions.”
This research drive is directed at exploring how light can be used to create and control quantum states in ultra-thin materials for future electronic and information technologies.
