Meet Our People

CityU is home to one of the greatest galleries in the city. For members of the public who have visited it, the University's Indra and Harry Banga Gallery is truly a hidden treasure in the city's art space.

When CityU launched the Jockey Club Enhancing Youth Empathy Project through Immersive Visualisation (the Project) in 2017, Year 2 students Ng King-kwan and Michael Tam Ming-hong in the School of Creative Media (SCM) were attracted by the concept of "empathy", which was rarely featured in the rating scheme of any competitive games or projects they had previously entered.

Keen to create a vast range of useful unconventional materials from almost anything, one of CityU's top chemists and nanotechnology scientists is happy for others to apply them usefully for the advancement of humankind.

The Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation is a steadfast advocate of education, youth development and community services, supporting a series of initiatives that benefit youngsters. Recently, it has funded the establishment of a meaningful scholarship at CityU to encourage students to stay positive amid difficulties.

Dr Roy Chung Chi-ping, Co-founder of Techtronic Industries Company Limited (TTI), has earned great respect as an industrial leader in Hong Kong over the past 40 years. TTI is currently one of the fifty constituent stocks on the Hang Seng Index and a world leader in power tools, home improvement appliances and construction equipment.

Born and raised in a modest family, the successful entrepreneur, Dr Raymond Leung Siu-hong, learned from his mother the importance of perseverance in early childhood. His diligence and positive attitude towards life have led him to many amazing accomplishments in the hi-tech industry.

Mr Harindarpal (“Harry”) Singh Banga, a highly successful business figure, is the Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Caravel Group, a diversified organisation, world renowned for the provision of maritime services, including ship management, commodities trading and investment management activities. 

Technological innovation holds great promise for the medical field, and one of the top scientists at CityU is dedicated to bridging these two domains.

“The Hong Kong healthcare system is facing on-going challenges in a rapidly ageing population, which results in overburdened hospitals,” said Professor Frank Chen Youhua, Dean of the College of Business. Professor Chen has shown how management science contributed a significant role in elderly care through a project in establishing an innovative chronic disease management programme with a strong focus on data science.

There are always ways to balance academic and talent development. Thanks to the generosity of donors, four CityU students and alumni exemplify how they strive a balance and become all-rounded persons.
