The colleagues include Prof. Albert Chan, Prof. Li Heng, Prof. Geoffrey Shen, Prof. Edwin Chan, Prof. Eddie Hui, Dr Patrick Lam, Prof. Ni Meng, Prof Zayed Tarek, Dr Daniel Chan, Dr Patrick Fong and Dr Darko Amos. The scholars are listed in the “Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators” that are compiled by Stanford University. This publicly available database of over 100,000 top-scientists across the world is available to offer standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator. It also provides metrics with and without self-citations and ratio of citations to citing papers. There are 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields of scientists. Field- and subfield-specific percentiles are also offered to all scientists who have published at least 5 papers. Career-long data are updated to end-of-2020.   The two tables highlight the colleagues’ rankings in terms of ‘Single Year Impact Statistics’ and ‘Career-long Impact Statistics’.

Massive Congratulations to Cr Phyllis Chen Fai Wing, Graduate of BSc (Hons) in Building Engineering and Management (BEM)

In recognition of her countless acts of determination and dedication, Cr Phyllis Chen scooped up a range of accolades including ‘Young Construction Manager – Grand Award’, ‘Construction Manager Award (A&A) – Grand Award’, and ‘Excellent Construction Team (A&A) – Grand Award (Winning Project: Central Plaza Podium Extension)’, in the 23rd Anniversary Dinner cum Construction Management Awards 2020 Presentation Ceremony of the Hong Kong Institute of Construction Managers (HKICM) on 27 August. This is a wonderful accomplishment to be proud of! As a great and promising addition to the world of construction over a decade ago, Phyllis started off with a post of graduate engineer in a small firm and continued to pick up her expertise in building engineering from an assistant engineer to a project manager in Gammon Construction Limited after the professional training in our Department. Fulfilling her lifelong dream in the construction sector, Phyllis has been spearheading a host of innovative projects along the way. She is also the manager-in-charge of the winning project, ‘Central Plaza Podium Extension, Wan Chai’. Phyllis leads by example, pursuing a holistic and novel view of project management in terms of time, cost and sustainability, turning ideas into a magnificent skyline and inspiring building graduates, especially women engineers, to realise their potential in this industry.   (special thanks to HKICM for providing fabulous pictures)
