The "Bright" Future of Scientific Research


The BRIGHT Future of Scientific Research

“Basic research is very important.  An original research develops a new direction, creates a breakthrough and generates new knowledge, which in turn produces significant economic benefits.”

“Failure stimulates you to think more, and to derive better approaches.  To me, even an unsuccessful experiment gives you a positive result.”

Professor YAM Wing-wah Vivian (Philip Wong Wilson Wong Professor in Chemistry and Energy and Chair Professor of Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, the University of Hong Kong) focuses her research on new functional molecular materials, which may have potential for producing more energy-efficient illumination and other applications.  Her innovative mind, perseverance and truth-seeking spirit drive her forward.  She has won worldwide recognition in the science field with numerous awards.
