The 24th Symposium on Chemistry Postgraduate Research in Hong Kong was completed smoothly on May 6th 2017 in CityU, with over 600 faculty members and research postgraduate students from the six local institutions participated in the event.
This annual symposium is an important event for the Chemistry community in Hong Kong dedicated to offer postgraduate research students a platform to present their research findings and groom local research talents. The poster section showcased 333 posters in five areas including Analytical & Environmental Chemistry, Biological Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry.
ABCT has won 2 awards in the Symposium including the 1st Runner-up of the Best Oral Presentation Award by Mr. Deng Jieren (MPhil student of Dr. Man-kin Wong) with winning presentation entitled "Development of Quinolizinium-Based Fluorophores via Photosensitizer-Free Visible Light-Mediated Gold-Catalyzed Alkyne Difunctionalization and Applications in Photoredox Catalysis and Cellular Imaging"; and the Best Poster Award in Organic Chemistry by Mr. Fu Wai Chung (PhD student) with winning poster entitled "En Route to Regioselective Synthesis of Polycyclic and Heptagon-embedded Aromatic Compounds with A Versatile p -Extension of Aryl Halides ".
Let us take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Deng Jieren and Mr. Fu Wai Chung on receiving the honors!
