CityU CHEM Alumni Gathering 2025

 The CHEM Alumni Gathering 2025 was held tonight at the Faculty Lounge (27^th Jun 2025). My wife and I joined the event. I arrived early and took a picture at the main entrance; it was time for graduation ceremony.

I met my HD classmate Prof. Kenneth LEUNG and took a photo for memory. He taught in HKU for many years and come back to CityU as Chair Professor in the department of Chemistry (CHEM).

I met Prof. Vincent KO and Prof. ZHU Guangyu (Head of CHEM). I also met my two junior classmates who had attended my Laboratory Accreditation course (cooperated with HKSQ) long time ago. Dr. Ron NG (Co-Founder, Director, CEO, NerOcean) and Dr. Larry Lo (Senior Engineer, Ka Shui Group). Dr. Larry Lo’s previous boss Benson is our common friends in CMA Testing.

In the beginning, Prof. Andy SIU gave welcome speech.

So many young alumni joined the gathering!

Then Prof. ZHU Guangyu (Head of CHEM) gave a key notes and introduced some achievement in CHEM.

After that we took a group photo.

Minda and I took a photo with Prof. Any SIU, Prof. Kenneth LEUNG and Dr. Jinping Cheng (Assistant Professor, Dept of Science & Environmental Studies, The Education University of Hong Kong). 

I met Ms. Fay Lo again and she served as HSSE & Sustainability Manager (IP&E GBA Ltd). I also met Mr. Tony Chung (Environmental Manager, Chevalier (Construction) Co. Ltd.) who joined HKSQ activities before.

Our alumni gathering and dinner were very enjoyable. When I left, I took a photo with CityU decorations.

Remark: I completed my HD (Applied Science), BSc (AP) and MPhil (BCH) in 1992, 1994 and 1997, respectively. I would like to give a brief history of the BCHem. The Department of Applied Science was established in 1987 with four science disciplines namely Applied Biology, Applied Chemistry, Applied Physics and Materials Science. Then the Department of Applied Science (AP) was separated into Department of Biology and Chemistry (BCH) and Department of Physics and Materials Science (AP) in 1993. City Polytechnic of Hong Kong (CPHK) had upgraded to City University of Hong Kong (CityU) in 1994. After that BCH Dept. changed name to Department of Chemistry (CHEM) in 2017 and Department of Physics and Materials Science had already separated into Physics Dept. (PHY), and Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Dept.
