THE He LAB @ THE University of Hong Kong
Dr. Jian He, Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry and State Key Laboratory of Synthetic Chemistry, Faculty of Science of the the University of Hong Kong (HKU) was presented with the Innovation Award 2021 by the Croucher Foundation, in recognition of his excellent scientific research achievements.
Croucher Innovation Awards
First presented in 2012, the Croucher Innovation Awards aim to identify a small number of exceptionally talented scientists working at an internationally competitive level and to offer substantial support to these “rising stars” at a formative stage in their careers. The Awards are designed to enable recipients to pursue their own scientific, intellectual and professional inclinations, to advance their expertise, to engage in bold new work, and to contribute to the development of education and research in Hong Kong. Each award carries a value of up to HK$5 million over 5 years for research expenses of the award winner.
