- BSc (Hons) in Physics with a Secondary Major in Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics (AIDA), Department of Applied Physics

The Department of Applied Physics at PolyU has an excellent academic atmosphere. I undertook a two-year research project (URIS) under the guidance of Prof. Yang Ming. Through this project, I not only learned Density Functional Theory (DFT) and how to use computational software, but also realized that inspiration is crucial in research. I also participated in an exchange programme at the University of Science and Technology of China. During this period, I conducted a project on the electro-optic effect in crystals and subsequently took part in the National Undergraduate Physics Experiment Competition.

Additionally, the department’s flexible curriculum allowed me more time to enrich my university life. In my spare time, I often went hiking, which helped me stay active while appreciating the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong. In Year 2, I went to Kyoto University in Japan for a semester-long exchange. During this time, I met outstanding peers from Kyoto University and around the world, which broadened my horizons both academically and personally.

理大應用物理學系擁有非常優秀的學習氣氛。在楊明教授的指導下，我展開了為期兩年的本科生科研計劃（URIS）。透過此科研項目，我不僅掌握了密度泛函理論（DFT）及應用相關計算軟件的技能，更深刻體會到創新靈感在科研工作中起到的關鍵作用。我亦曾前往中國科學技術大學進行交流學習，期間展開了有關晶體電光效應的研究，並參加了全國大學生物理實驗競賽。

此外，學系靈活的課程設計讓我有更多時間豐富我的大學生活。閒暇時，我經常參與遠足活動，在鍛鍊體能之餘，亦能欣賞香港優美的自然景色。於大學二年級期間，我更前往日本京都大學進行海外交流。期間，我結識了來自京都大學以及世界各地優秀的同儕，無論在學術還是生活層面，均大大拓闊了我的視野。
