Materials scientist and chemist Liu Jiawei has moved from Singapore to Hong Kong to establish her own research group at City University of Hong Kong (CityU). Liu, who completed her PhD in materials science and engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 2021, chose Hong Kong for its independent principal investigator model, which offers researchers substantial autonomy in directing their labs and research directions.
The city also encourages cross-group collaboration, allowing for joint projects among various research teams. Liu's research focuses on the electrosynthesis of chemicals, a green alternative to traditional industrial processes that rely heavily on fossil fuels and contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.
