HKUST Strengthens Strategic Partnership with UNSW Sydney to Drive Global Research and Innovation
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) warmly welcomed a delegation from The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) on November 13, led by Vice-Chancellor and President Prof. Attila BRUNGS, accompanied by Prof. Nick WAILES, Dean of Lifelong Learning, and Ms. Rachel WEI, China Country Director.
The delegation engaged in fruitful discussions with HKUST leadership, including Provost Prof. GUO Yike, Associate Provost (Institutional Data and Research) Dr. Alison LLOYD, and Assistant Vice-President for Institutional Advancement (Global Engagement) Prof. Angela NG. The meeting reaffirmed both universities’ strong commitment to advancing academic cooperation and executive education.
HKUST and UNSW Sydney continue to support the Global Knowledge Network, a joint seed grant initiative that fosters collaborative research partnerships between the two institutions. The dialogue also highlighted promising opportunities for cooperation in cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, climate science, and biomedical research.
The visit underscored the shared vision of HKUST and UNSW Sydney to harness global partnerships in driving innovation and impactful research. Both institutions expressed enthusiasm for deepening the strategic relationship to accelerate future discoveries.

A research team led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) scholars has discovered a significant slowdown in Arctic sea ice melting since 2012, with the decrease rate of 11.3% per decade to an insignificant downward trend of only −0.4% per decade. This phenomenon is closely related to a shift in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) pattern, from a negative phase to its positive phase, which traps cold air within the Arctic region.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), in collaboration with the Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Guangzhou), has launched the world's first Deep Ocean Omics (DOO) database (https://DeepOceanOmics.org/).
Programmable photonics promise faster and more energy-efficient computing than traditional electronics by using light to transmit signals. However, current systems are limited by the need for precise on-chip power monitors. Researchers from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a germanium-ion-implanted silicon waveguide photodiode.
