The Most Outstanding PolyU Student of the Year 2025/26
2025/26年度理大最卓越學生獎
- BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology with Biotechnology
Studying for a BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology with Biotechnology at PolyU's Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology (ABCT) has been nothing short of transformative. When I first arrived, I focused solely on grades. It was ABCT's dedicated professors who opened my eyes to a broader vision of excellence.
With their guidance, I adopted an interdisciplinary approach, teaching myself programming and pursuing a minor in mathematics. Professors also connected me with invaluable opportunities, referring me to exchange programmes at the University of Waterloo and the University of Cambridge, and recommending me for a research placement at SickKids Hospital in Canada, where I discovered the excitement of scientific inquiry.
Beyond academics, ABCT's warm community inspired me to give back. I became a peer mentor and volunteered in the Hong Kong community. These experiences also contributed to my being selected as the Most Outstanding PolyU Student of 2025/26.
I am deeply grateful to the Faculty and ABCT for shaping who I am today.
在理大應用生物及化學科技學系(ABCT)攻讀應用生物兼生物科技(榮譽)理學士課程,對我而言是一段極具啟發性、改變人生的學習旅程。初入學時,我只專注於追求優異成績;幸得學系教授的啟發,我逐漸體會到「卓越」更深層的意義。
在教授的悉心指導下,我開始探索及學習跨學科課題,自學編程並副修數學。教授們亦鼓勵我把握機會,推薦我參加滑鐵盧大學及劍橋大學的交流計劃,更引薦我前往加拿大安大略省多倫多病童醫院(SickKids)進行科研實習,讓我在實驗室中親身體驗科學探索的魅力。
除了學術發展,ABCT溫暖的學習環境亦啟發我積極回饋社會。我因此成為了朋輩導師,並投身香港社區的義工服務。這些經歷亦讓我榮獲理大2025/26年度「最卓越學生獎」。
我衷心感謝學院及學系的栽培與支持,成就了今天的我。
