REPORT ON RESEARCH ACTIVITIES 2003-04 to RESEARCH GRANTS COUNCIL

RGC REPORT ONE - OVERVIEW

1. YEAR IN REVIEW

On 17 June 2004, HKUST was very pleased to welcome visitors from the Research Grants Council.

RGC had previously visited HKUST in 1997. At that time, we had completed our building phase and were in a consolidation mode. Since that time, we have matured as a research university and are now making a solid impact across our chosen fields of research and scholarship.

We took this RGC visit as an opportunity to reflect on our accomplishments and on what we as an institution are trying to achieve, consistent with our mission, and our strategy for this purpose.

Our research mission, drawn from the 1987 Ordinance by which HKUST was established, is to focus on human resource development with an emphasis on postgraduate education, to maintain excellence across our chosen fields of endeavor, and to make a contribution to the economic and social development of Hong Kong.

Our strategy is to attract the best faculty and students, to expect and reward their best performance in disciplinary (and multidisciplinary when appropriate) research, and to assist economic and social development through service, technology diffusion/transfer to regional industry and the stimulation of entrepreneurship.

The selection of highlights presented below extend from the most basic research to commercialisation and business development. They demonstrate the degree to which we are achieving our objectives as a world-class research university with national impact and substantial local relevance.

Basic/ Fundamental Research & Scholarship

HKUST researchers continue to make influential contributions at the forefront of their disciplines :

• A team of researchers led by Prof. Hong Xue (BICH) has achieved a breakthrough by identifying the fifth gene linked to schizophrenia, facilitating the discovery of effective

RGC Annual Report 03-04 1 treatments for the disease. Their new findings, published in Molecular Psychiatry, are of huge international importance and will give hope to those afflicted by schizophrenia.

• Prof. Jing Song Huang (MATH) proved an outstanding result in representation theory in solving the Vogan Conjecture concerning Dirac cohomology.

• Surface phase transitions are found to affect many physical properties, including surface diffusion and nanotribology. Prof. Ping Sheng and colleagues (PHYS) found that the free rotation of C60 molecules have a lower friction through reducing adhesion between two surfaces. These results appeared in Physical Review Letters.

• Prof. Chris Westland (ISMT) has published a new book on Financial Dynamics: A System for Valuing Technology Companies. The book lays out the structure, components and application of the Financial Dynamics system of valuation.

• Prof. Yanjie Bian (SOSC) published “Origins and Effects of Social Capital for Chinese Urbanites: Network Viewpoints and Survey Findings” in Chinese Social Sciences, and reported a key finding that Chinese urban residents gain higher level of social capital when they are connected to people of diverse occupations.

Applied Research

Examples of applied research are evident across most disciplines at HKUST :

• Prof. Robert Ko (BICH) has made significant progress in defining the pharmacological properties of Chinese tonifying herbs (Yin, Yang, Qi, Blood). These new findings, published Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, are instrumental to establish the scientific footing of Chinese medicine in terms of modern medicine.

• A new traffic signal control software DISCO (Dynamic Intersection Signal Control Optimization) has been successfully developed by Prof. H K Lo (CIVL) and is ready to be distributed to the Transport Department and practitioners for real applications.

• The Wireless Group (ELEC) has developed an important new multi-user multi-antenna system algorithm for enhancing high-speed wireless communications. This algorithm allows multiple wireless users to communicate simultaneously in time and frequency so that system capacity can be doubled or even tripled.

Developmental Activities

Towards the development end of the R&D spectrum, there have been many achievements :

• A computer package for the optimal design of tall building structures has been developed by Prof. C M Chan (CIVL), and has been employed in the design of many buildings in Hong Kong including the 102-storey Kowloon Mega Tower.

RGC Annual Report 03-04 2 • Prof. H S Kwok and Prof. Man Wong (ELEC) participated in the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology 863 project and successfully made the first full color organic light emitting diode display on an active-matrix back plane in all China.

Commercialization and Business Development

As its mission requires, HKUST is striving to make a substantial contribution to the economic development of Hong Kong and the region by human resource development, technology diffusion and transfer processes, intellectual property protection, marketing and licensing, and the incubation of start-up companies.

Human resources are considered the most effective means of technology diffusion and are the most valuable component of the output of a university. Many of the 762 Masters and 81 doctoral graduates from HKUST in 2003-04 moved into the private and public sectors, taking with them in-depth knowledge of their discipline, know-how and an ability to be creative and innovative. These graduates, and indeed those at the bachelors level, are a force for change and can play a major role in the transition of Hong Kong to a knowledge-based society.

To highlight our partnerships with industry, we note that :

¾ HKUST has been allocated $315 million in ITF funding over the five-year period 1999-2004 (i.e. since the beginning of the ITF program) - - substantially more than any other institution in Hong Kong

¾ Over this same period, HKUST has received $178 million in industrial funding for contract research and collaborative R&D

The University’s Technology Transfer Center (TTC) and the HKUST R and D Corporation Ltd (RDC) work together to establish university-industry collaboration, R&D partnerships, and the protection, marketing and licensing of intellectual property. Examples include :

• Prof. K M Lee (CIVL) has successfully developed a new product – Rubbersoil TM : made of Portland cement, fly ash, elastic binder and rubber crumbs derived from waste rubber tires. This new product uses various recycled materials and has wide application in civil construction projects.

• The Cyberspace Center (COMP) has developed an advanced Password Cracking System to assist the Hong Kong Police Force in crime investigations. The new system helps recover the password used to encrypt a file and is expected to become an important forensic tool.

In 2003-04 alone :

¾ TTC evaluated 15 invention disclosures from HKUST researchers

¾ TTC arranged for the filing of 17 patent applications, mostly with the US Patent Office

¾ HKUST received notification of the granting of 15 patents

RGC Annual Report 03-04 3 ¾ RDC signed 96 R&D contracts with industrial clients, worth more than $17.8 million

¾ RDC signed 14 license agreements for the transfer of intellectual property to regional companies

¾ RDC continues to incubate 18 start-up companies based on technology created at HKUST

HKUST has been granted HK$175 million from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to support the set up of a biotechnology company specializing in the discovery and development of novel therapeutics. As part of this initiative, a Joint Venture is being established with a California-based NASDAQ-listed company.

The first phase of the Nansha IT Park is now operational. This facility is the result of a collaboration between HKUST (concept, design, project management, training and development), the Fok Ying Tung Foundation (land, capital and community development facilitator), and the Guangzhou government (policy, transportation and infrastructure). The Park provides a base for creative IT and technology industries, R&D, start-ups, and training, thus boosting regional competitiveness and building the area’s global reputation as a hub of technological innovation.

HKUST again displayed its latest R&D achievements at the 5th Annual China Hi-Tech Fair in Shenzhen, in October 2003. HKUST’s groundbreaking research, innovative applications and entrepreneurial ventures were showcased to visitors and potential investors.

Awards and Recognition

Recognition of the achievements of individual faculty and of HKUST as a research institution are increasingly evident :

• Prof. Nancy Ip (BICH) has been named one of the five global Laureates for the 2004 L’ORÈAL-UNESCO For Women in Science program in recognition of her achievements and contributions to scientific research. Prof. Ip is the first woman scientist in China to receive this award in life science.

• In March 2004, Prof. Andrew Miller (BIOL) and Prof. Jing Song Huang (MATH) were recipients of Croucher Senior Research Fellow Awards.

• Prof. Wilson Tang (CIVL) was inducted into the U.S. Offshore Energy Center’s Hall of Fame, received the ICE T.K. Hsieh Award, and was elected as ASCE Honorary Member.

• ELEC at HKUST ranked No. 1 in the world in terms of the number of papers published in the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices during 1998-2003.

• Prof. T X Yu (MECH) has been elected as a Fellow of Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the highest elected grade of membership within IMechE, UK, and Prof. T X Yu and Prof. Ricky Lee (MECH) have been elected as Fellows of ASME.

RGC Annual Report 03-04 4 Major Events

• The Gordon Research Conference on “Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology”, jointly organized by the Biotechnology Research Institute (BRI), Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Neuroscience Center, was held at HKUST in June 2004. The Conference combined the scientific excellence of the GRC and the strength of HKUST in organizing conferences in Asia.

Research Funding

In the RGC Competitive Earmarked Research Grants program announced in June 2004, HKUST researchers were awarded $83.7 million - - 20% of the total awarded to Hong Kong’s tertiary institutions. In this annual internationally peer-reviewed competition, HKUST can claim:

¾ the highest success rate (55%), for the twelfth consecutive year

¾ the highest funding per eligible faculty (k$184.8)

¾ the highest participation rate (34% of eligible faculty were awarded funding)

Noting that success in this competition is dependent on the quality of proposals, as perceived by international peers, and on the track record of the applicants, these funding results are testimony to the excellence of research and scholarship at HKUST.

HKUST has received $315 million from the Innovation & Technology Fund since its inception in 1999; more than any other tertiary institution in Hong Kong. During 2003, two large projects were funded. The Institute of Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology (INMT) received over $99.5 million for the development of functional nanomaterials and technologies, focusing on eco-friendly microfuel cells, nanoelectronics display units, and integrated nanomaterial manufacturing. The HKUST/WebEx Information Technology Institute received $29 million to develop a next generation online multimedia collaboration system in collaboration with US-based WebEx Communications, Inc.

HKUST has achieved much. It has helped to redefine the academic and R&D culture of Hong Kong. It has grown from a dream to find recognition on the world stage of research universities and to become a dynamo for change in Hong Kong’s transition to a knowledge- based society in little more than 15 years.

2. INSTITUTIONAL POLICY ON RESEARCH

While the foundation research policies have served the University well, we continue to review and fine-tune our operational practices to ensure that resources are used effectively towards achieving our mandate to serve economic, social and technological development in Hong Kong and the region.

Research is integral to the mission of the University. HKUST’s research policies are formulated to achieve both world-class excellence and techno-economic benefits to Hong Kong through quality, focus and synergy.

RGC Annual Report 03-04 5

Quality is achieved through human and physical resources. HKUST has attracted, and continues to attract, senior faculty of great distinction and established reputation, junior faculty of proven research capability, and postgraduate students with great promise. The University has created an environment that is both supportive and demanding. Our strong record of publication, success in winning competitive grants, and growing international reputation attest to the quality of research being conducted at HKUST.

Focus is achieved as a result of the identification of strategic areas of research and the recruitment of faculty to build strengths in these areas. Synergy is fostered by establishing research units that provide both support and coordination. Entities such as the Hongkong Telecom Institute of Information Technology, Sino Software Research Institute, Biotechnology Research Institute, Center for Display Research, and the Cyberspace Center are showing that collaboration can be effective to stimulate research excellence and to build strengths in areas that are important for Hong Kong and the region.

3. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESEARCH POLICY AND OTHER INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES

It is difficult to segregate research and other policies, as research (like education) is woven into the fabric of the University. Research plays a major role in personnel policies and represents a principal criterion in the appointment, advancement and retention of faculty. It is an integral component of educational programs, not just for PhD and MPhil students, but also at the undergraduate level. Faculty at the leading edge of their disciplines enrich undergraduate programs, and participation in research by undergraduates is encouraged and opportunities to do so are provided throughout the year.

The timely application of the output of research to serve societal needs and to create economic development opportunities is central to the mission of the University. In this regard, HKUST encourages and assists researchers to recognize the value of intellectual property, and the University has a well-established business arm, the HKUST R and D Corporation Ltd., to protect, market and license intellectual property with commercial potential.

4. ORGANIZATION OF RESEARCH FUNDING

Each academic unit has a mentoring and peer review process to assist in the development of research proposals. Draft applications are reviewed by Schools for intellectual merit and by the Office of Contract and Grant Administration (OCGA) for compliance and presentation. Research proposals are finally approved and signed by senior administrative officers of the University for submission to the appropriate agency.

The University also has internal competitions for project funding from the Block Grant, direct allocation and private gifts. Proposals for such funding are reviewed and adjudicated by the Senate Research Committee for institution-wide funds, or by the Research Committees of the Schools for funds earmarked for such units.

OCGA provides extensive administrative and support services for faculty, both in preparing proposals and in managing the awards and reporting processes.

RGC Annual Report 03-04 6

5. CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING PRIORITIES

All academic Departments and Schools and organised research units have well- established processes for determining priorities. Each School has an external advisory board that provides counsel on academic programs and research priorities. Within this framework, each department has a dynamic planning process, which includes strategic recruitment to achieve its largely research-based objectives. Each organised research unit also has its own Advisory Committee or Board with external representation to assist in identifying needs, opportunities and developmental directions.

Internal research funding tends to be used to help junior faculty to achieve their potential, to meet the modest research program needs of some faculty, and to provide seed funding for strategic new initiatives. Excellence or potential for excellence is the dominant criterion in internal funding decisions.

6. USAGE OF DIRECT ALLOCATION GRANT

In 2003-04, HKUST received a Direct Allocation Grant from RGC of $10 million. The funding was allocated to Schools on a formula basis for allocation by the Research Committees of these Schools.

In total, the four Schools and other qualifying units at HKUST allocated funding of $10 million to 148 projects from the Direct Allocation Grant, as follows:

School of Science 29 ($2.03 million) School of Engineering 39 ($3.30 million) School of Business & Management 57 ($3.47 million) School of Humanities & Social Science 19 ($1.00 million) Others 4 ($0.20 million)

Consistent with the guidelines established by RGC and HKUST’s Senate Research Committee, the above resources were committed to assist newly appointed staff and junior faculty in developing their initial research activities and to support new and on-going research programs for which funding requirements are below the threshold amounts of RGC grants.

In addition, UGC funding in the amount of $1.2 million was used for Research Travel Grants. This funding was adjudicated on a competitive basis to assist senior postgraduate students and junior faculty to present the results of their research at international conferences.

7. EFFORTS MADE TO ATTRACT PRIVATE FUNDS

Many of the organised research units at HKUST were established through major gifts made in the early days of the University. Efforts to obtain major gifts for research continue, and have been extended to establishing collaborative activities and contract research with the private sector, as well as an involvement in civil and commercial projects. An increasingly significant component is contributed by the private sector in Hong Kong. Our engagement with the private sector demonstrates both the commitment of HKUST to foster techno-economic development in

RGC Annual Report 03-04 7 Hong Kong and the recognition by industry of the value of developing partnerships with researchers at HKUST.

Commercial activities are still developing; in time we anticipate that they will provide a significant source of funds for research at HKUST.

8. OPPORTUNITIES AND DIFFICULTIES IN INTER-INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATION

Academics can and do collaborate well, and applications to programs such as the China/Hong Kong, Germany/Hong Kong and France/Hong Kong Joint Research Schemes show that the availability of resources can stimulate joint research programs.

Collaboration exists at the inter-institutional level and between research groups and individual researchers. We have established partnerships with a number of leading research universities in Mainland China, North America and Europe.

Collaboration with our sister institutions in Hong Kong is growing. Under the right circumstances, such collaboration can reduce duplication, foster synergy among institutions and create an atmosphere of mutual assistance that is highly beneficial to both research and education and that can yield better value to the community from the investment of public resources. When sharing of resources or joint work is mandated or highly encouraged by funding agencies, collaboration can be fruitful, but it also requires careful management to ensure that such linkages are mutually beneficial, productive and sustainable, rather than just opportunistic.

9. ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

HKUST is a research university that seeks to undertake research of the highest quality and impact from an international perspective, but in the context of an equally strong commitment to education and application. While these are compatible and synergistic goals, in practice they impose a high work load on faculty and an optimal balance is difficult to achieve. This is especially true in a young institution in which policy formulation, facilities development, and academic management have drawn on the time and energies of the predominantly junior faculty.

A major inhibiting factor in building research excellence remains the modest number of PhD students per faculty member. This is related to the perceived lack of need and career opportunities in Hong Kong for persons with postgraduate degrees. While any major improvement in this situation would need a significant policy change, for example admitting more students from the Chinese mainland, there are near-term measures that are being taken. These include greater collaboration among faculty members and a greater reliance on postdoctoral researchers and professional staff.

The excellence and productivity of research at HKUST and the effectiveness with which resources provided by UGC, RGC and other agencies have been utilized should be evident from this Annual Report of our research output.
