HKUST In The Media
In an article on mainland students sidestepping HK’s exorbitant rents, VPIA-designate Prof. Charles NG noted that the University is exploring multiple options, such as negotiating with property owners in Kwun Tong to convert vacant spaces into student housing or labs.
A team led by ECE Asst. Prof. LI Xiaomeng, who is also Assoc. Director of Center for Medical Imaging and Analysis, has developed a new AI model capable of generating high-quality 3D images of patients' bones and anatomy in under a minute with just 2–4 X-ray snapshots, as compared to 400-500 for CT scans.
HKUST has launched the Extended Major framework (Major+X) since 2020, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary, application-oriented studies and the fostering of international visions to help students master AI skills and enhance their competitiveness in the employment market.
