In an interview on RTHK's "Future Infinite" program, CIVL/ENVR Chair Prof. SU Hui discussed HKUST's MUSICO carbon-monitoring payload and HK payload expert Dr. Lai Ka-ying reaching Tiangong space station, expressing hope for HK’s continued participation in national space missions.

CIVL/ENVR Chair Prof. SU Hui, MAE Prof. GAO Yang, Space Science and Technology Institute Assoc. Director ZHAI Chengxing, Acting Head of Department of Materials ZHOU Yuanyuan and ECE Asst. Prof. YANG Yansong recently made recommendations regarding HK's five-year plan. They urged HK to leverage the historic opportunities under the national "15th Five-Year Plan" to build a space power by developing key capabilities in five areas: high-precision payloads, space computing, new space materials, space robots, and space-to-ground communications. 

HKUST has developed the Generalist-Specialist Collaboration (GSCo), a new low-cost AI framework that outperforms both standalone foundation and specialist models on disease diagnosis-related tasks. 

HKUST has received a generous donation of 35 calligraphic works from the "Ode to Chinese Characters" series by renowned calligrapher SU Shishu.  To honor this meaningful donation, the "Ode to Chinese Characters" Su Shishu Calligraphy Exhibition will be held at HKUST's Lee Shau Kee Library till September 7.
