I have gained interest in biomedical engineering during high school for its close connection between engineering and medicine. Knowing that a strong research background will be beneficial to this engineering discipline, and HKUST is renowned for its outstanding research achievements in Asia, I have chosen chemical engineering at HKUST as my stepping stone in pursuing the future career.

Studying in HKUST has provided me with the opportunity of doing academic research during the undergraduate time through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP). I have gained valuable experience in working in laboratories and doing data analysis. On top of that, becoming a Student Ambassador of the School of Engineering has broadened my network. It has offered me chances to train up my leadership and public speaking skills through its training program and the experience of organizing activities.

With the experience I have in HKUST, I’m looking forward to going further in pursuit of my ambition and apply what I have attained here to influence the others.
