Enrolment in HKMU’s research postgraduate programmes in recent years has grown steadily. The Graduate School plans to increase studentship support to attract more students. “With a robust system in place, we will be better positioned to seek collaborations on the Chinese Mainland and overseas, including the UK and other parts of Europe,” Prof. Kwok says. “This includes initiatives such as joint doctoral programmes, enabling HKMU to nurture talent with a stronger international outlook.”
近年，都大研究式研究生人數持續增長。校方亦會預留資源增 加研究生助學金，助有志學生進修。
「有了完善的制度，我們更有條件到內地和海外如英國、歐洲其 他地區等尋求合作，包括開辦聯合博士課程，讓都大人才更具 國際視野。」
Shenzhen research arm draws foreign talent
HKMU SZRI is committed to building a diverse team with international experience, and has attracted overseas researchers with interdisciplinary expertise. One of them is Dr Muhammad Rizwan from Pakistan. Dr Rizwan earned a PhD in Experimental Physics from Air University in Pakistan focusing on advanced functional nanomaterials and hybrid nanostructures. He previously worked at the University of Glasgow in the UK and the University of Hamburg in Germany. It is the first time Dr Rizwan is working in China. He cites the HKMU SZRI’s strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research and support for nanotechnology as attractive conditions. The Institute’s vision to translate fundamental research into practical applications aligns well with his professional goals, he adds. At the Institute, Dr Rizwan works under the supervision of Prof. Roy Vellaisamy, Chair Professor of Intelligent Systems at HKMU’s School of Science and Technology. He is dedicated to developing a non- invasive diagnostic method for bladder cancer based on detecting DNA methylation in urine samples. He is working on the design and mapping of receptors capable of selectively binding methylated DNA. At the same time, he is taking part in research on advanced nanomaterials that can be used in clean energy and environmental applications. “The culture at HKMU SZRI is highly dynamic and supportive,” he says. “There is a strong emphasis on teamwork, and everyone is open to exchanging knowledge and ideas.” Having visited the HKMU main campus in Hong Kong, he notes that the two sites complement each other to create a productive and enriching work dynamic. “While Shenzhen provides a stable and collaborative base for my day-to-day work, Hong Kong offers valuable opportunities for broader academic exposure and exchange.”
深研院吸納國際人才
都大深研院致力建立具國際經驗及多元背景的科研人才，吸納 了數名來自海外、具跨學科背景的研究員，來自巴基斯坦的 Muhammad Rizwan 博士正是其中一員。 Rizwan 博士於巴基斯坦 Air University 取得實驗物理學博士學 位，研究涵蓋先進功能納米材料和混合納米結構。他曾於英國 格拉斯哥大學、德國漢堡大學從事相關研究，這是他首次來到 中國工作。 他表示，深研院非常重視跨學科研究，並支持納米科技的研 究，是吸引他加入的原因；院方鼓勵將基礎科研轉化為實際應 用，與他的長遠發展目標一致。 現時， Rizwan 博士於都大科技學院智能系統講座教授華禮生教 授指導下工作，致力開發一種非入侵性、基於尿液中 DNA 甲基 化的膀胱癌診斷方法，他負責設計和找出可選擇性地與甲基化 DNA 結合的受體。他亦參與應用於清潔能源與環境的先進納米 材料研究。 他分享道：「深研院的工作環境充滿活力，同僚間互相支持，強 調團隊合作，大家都樂意分享知識和想法。」他曾到訪都大香港 本部校園，形容兩地相輔相成，共同營造高效、充實的工作氛 圍：「深圳為我的日常工作提供了穩定且具協作性的基地，香港 則給我帶來了更廣闊的學術視野和豐富的交流機會。」
