Equipping our graduates for a successful career path is one of the important tasks of the College of Science. The talented students we groomed showcased their outstanding achievements at the CityU Employers’ Luncheon on 27 March at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
To foster a closer link between CityU and the industrial and corporate world, CityU Employers’ Luncheon, hosted by the Career and Leadership Centre of Student Development Services, also aims to raise awareness among major local employers about CityU’s educational philosophy and showcase students’ talents and achievements.
Before the luncheon, an exhibition featuring CityU students' exciting discoveries and innovations was set up at the Convention Foyer. Students from the College’s Department of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics showcased their projects. Professor Chun Sing Lee, Dean of the College of Science, showed his support by visiting the students’ booths.

Tsz Tung Leung and Anosha Shahzad, two Chemistry students, introduced their project on developing novel anticancer drug candidates. They applied synthetic biology in improved fungal natural product biosynthesis. Their team won the Bronze Medal in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Competition 2022. |
| Three Mathematics students, Yuqiao Zhao, Chun Wun Cheng and Zhenda Shen, also showcased their innovative projects to the guests. Yuqiao Zhao worked on the in-vehicle road surface condition detection system. Chun Wun Cheng’s team proposed a unique continuous deep-learning framework for biomedical image segmentation which is faster, greater and noiseless. Zhenda Shen and his teammates worked on the passive location with bearing-only in formation flight of unmanned aerial vehicles. Shen’s team won the national First Prize in the Contemporary Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling (CUMCM) 2022. They are the only team from Hong Kong to win the First Prize in the competition. |
