One of the awardees of the HK PhD Fellowship Scheme 2020/21, Peng Huiwen, will be embarking on a new adventure in exploring the ‘flow space’ within the megacity region, ‘Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’ under Prof. Eddie Hui’s supervision in the coming academic year.
Huiwen’s research aims to investigate the factors affecting flows in the spatial network structure of urban agglomerations and to
explore the influences of flow factors in the megacity region. Meanwhile, empirical work on the Greater Bay Area continues, consisting of nuanced analysis of the spatial structure characteristics of the flows of information, traffic, capital, and goods. The work contributes to promoting spatial cooperation and integration strategies for the Greater Bay Area.
Huiwen shares, "Being granted an HKPF Scholarship is an honour and an inspiring start for my future PhD life. It is a recognition of my past endeavours and serves as a stepping stone for me to chase my dream. Last but not least, I am particularly grateful to Prof. Eddie Hui and Lang Wei for their support and encouragement throughout my application."
The Fellowship provides an annual stipend of HK$309,600 and a conference and research-related travel allowance of HK$12,900 per year for each awardee for a period up to three years.
We greatly look forward to welcoming Huiwen in September 2020.
