Four PolyU young scientists awarded China's Excellent Young Scientists Fund

Four young scientists at PolyU have been awarded the 2020 Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Hong Kong and Macau) recently, a funding provided exclusively to Hong Kong and Macau scientists since last year under the National Natural Science Foundation of China. 25 young scientists (male below 38 and female below 40 years old) from Hong Kong and Macau in total are awarded the fund annually. In this year, seven, five and two scientists at the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and City University of Hong Kong respectively were also chosen alongside with the four PolyU scientists. Each awardee will receive a funding of RMB1.2 million for a maximum period of three years, in the form of cross-border remittance to directly support researchers’ work in Hong Kong.   The projects of the four PolyU scientists include sequential remote-sensing, flow and heat/mass transfer in electrochemical energy systems, unsaturated soils and problematic soils, and battery-free internet of things. A spokesperson of PolyU said it was encouraging to see young scientists were supported by the Nation, which not only reflects the Nation’s substantial support to Hong Kong’s scientific research, but also encourages local young scientists to pursue excellence in basic research and research in cutting-edge technologies.
