Prof. YUNG Kai-leung, Sir Sze-yuen Chung Professor in Precision Engineering, Director of Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations (RCDSE), Chair Professor of Precision Engineering, and Associate Head of Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, in an exclusive interview with Chinese business news “21st Century Business Herald”, shared his research journey in deep space explorations, research works at PolyU and RCDSE, as well as his views on the field of space technology and Hong Kong’s competitive edge in research and development.
Prof. Yung highlighted that the field of space technology is not a single discipline, but a combination of various disciplines. “Many people think that space mission only involves astronomy. In fact, it includes astronomy, geography, many different engineering disciplines and even disciplines in management and quality assurance,” he said.
Prof. Yung also pointed out Hong Kong higher education’s advantage in these fields. He said, “Many regions that are well-developed in technology are supported by many universities. Hong Kong universities hold very important roles in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), and can support GBA developments via fostering more capable talents.”
