HKUST In The Media
A research team led by ECE Prof. QU Jianan, has achieved a major breakthrough in brain imaging by developing the world’s first technology to capture high-resolution images of the brain of awake experimental mice in a nearly non-invasive manner. By eliminating the need for anesthesia, this innovation enables scientists to study brain tissue in its fully functional state. The advancement promises deeper insights into human brain function in both healthy and diseased conditions, opening new frontiers in neuroscience research.
HKUST has announced a strategic collaboration with Solomon Learning Group to establish the AI Literacy Hub, a major initiative of AI education in HK. The hub aims to create a dynamic platform to drive innovation and development in AI education for primary and secondary schools.
HKUST has recently unveiled SmartPath, an AI-enabled pathology platform that automates the pathology workflow end-to-end. It is built on two large AI models and trained on more than 500,000 whole-slide images across at least 34 cancer types.
HKUST's Institute for Financial Research (IFR) hosted a fireside chat, featuring WTO's former Director-General Mr. Pascal LAMY, in conversation with Director of the HKUST Li & Fung Supply Chain Institute Prof. LI Qing. IFR Assoc. Director Prof. Abhiroop MUKHERJEE highlighted the timeliness and significance of the topic "Global Trade and Geoeconomics: Navigating the New Normal".
Provost and HKGAI Director Prof. GUO Yike presented "Co-creating a New AI Blueprint: The Vision, Mission, and Objectives of HKGAI" at the H3C Digital Tour 2025 – HK & Macau, held in HK yesterday, introducing the background and significance of the center. During the event, H3C signed strategic cooperation agreements with HKGAI and HKIIT, respectively.
A research team led by ECE Assoc. Professor and Assoc. Director of CDR Prof. Abhishek K. SRIVASTAVA, improved the optical performance of QR-LEDs through refined synthesis engineering. They achieved an excellent photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 92% for both green and red quantum rods.
A research team led by OCES Asst. Prof. HE Ding found that the terrestrial contribution to oceanic organic carbon pools is 1.7 to 2.5 times higher than previously assumed, highlighting the need to adjust global carbon cycle models.
MAE Assoc. Prof. Sherry CHEN has developed FerroAI, a deep learning model that can generate phase diagrams for ferroelectric materials in just 20 seconds, in collaboration with Dr. ZHANG Chenbo, a researcher from the School of Physical Science and Engineering at Tongji University.
