Prof. Ko Jan-ming

I joined the Department in 1979 and served as the Head from 1992, two years before the Polytechnic attained University status. Therefore I timely participated in and witnessed the transformation of the Department from a sub-degree level to a highly successful university department with international recognition. There is no doubt that the successful progress is due to the concerted efforts of all colleagues forging ahead in our long march of the transformation. I always feel proud of our very positive and devoted team developed in the last few decades.

It gives me great pleasure to have worked with the University in various capacities for more than 40 years, leaving me a lot of memories with excitement and happiness. In celebrating the Department’s 50th anniversary, I would like to thank all colleagues who have shaped a Department we are all proud of.  My sincere gratitude should go to all friends, in particular our alumni and students, who have given the Department their great love and support in the past 50 years.
