Congratulations to Prof. Thomas Chung for his remarkable achievement in being awarded both the Humanities and Social Sciences Prestigious Fellowship Scheme (HSSPFS) and the General Research Fund (GRF) for 2024-25!

Prof. He Yueyang is another recipient of the GRF, with his proposal titled “Developing a Vertical Wind Profile Dataset to Adapt to Extreme Hot Weather Events with Multi-location LiDAR Observations and Multi-scale Modeling.”
