Our research in Mathematics and Statistics have achieved remarkable recognition since 2009. According to The Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2014 conducted by the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong, 71% of AMA’s research has achieved a 4- or 3- star rating i.e. ‘world leading’ or ‘Internationally excellent’ by international standards. In the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Ranking 2021, PolyU is listed the world top 100 in Statistics and Operational Research and 150 in Mathematics.

In addition to the GRF/ECS scheme, the Department has also received other grant sources in the past 5 years:
On top of our research accomplishment, we are also proud of our effort in making significant advance in teaching. In summer 2017, our teaching team proposed a Teaching & Learning project titled “Developing Active Learning Pedagogies and Mobile Applications in University STEM Education” and won a funding from the University Grants Committee UGC Funding Scheme 2016-2019. The project involves three other local universities (Hong Kong Baptist University, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The University of Hong Kong), while our teaching team plays the leading role. We are thrilled to win the Department’s first UGC Teaching and Learning funding, and will continue to strive for further improvement.
A New University Research Facility
In 2018, PolyU established a new University Research Facility in Big Data Analytics. AMA is tasked to manage the facility jointly with the Department of Computing. It will facilitate multidisciplinary research in big data.
