Three PolyU scholars were selected for the Research Grants Council’s (RGC) Senior Research Fellow Scheme (SRFS) 2022/23 and awarded a total of HK$23 million funding to facilitate and advance their research.
Two of the three winners are PAIR researchers. They are Prof. Sun Defeng, Leading Member of the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Things (RIAIoT), and Prof. Li Gang, Management Committee Member of the Photonics Research Institute (PRI), Associate Director of the Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Research Institute for Smart Energy (RISE), as well as Member of the Research Institute for Intelligent Wearable Systems (RI-IWEAR) and the Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development (RISUD).
The Scheme provides ten grants to exceptional scholars from any of the academic disciplines at UGC-funded universities in each round of the annual exercise. Nominees are assessed in accordance with various criteria including leadership quality and vision in the chosen area of research, the merit of the research proposal, and the support provided by the university.
