Prof. Jinyao TANG
Department of Chemistry
Prof. Jinyao Tang, from the Department of Chemistry, has been announced as a recipient of the esteemed BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize (STIP) for the year 2023. In the category of "STIP in New Materials and New Energy," Dr. Tang has been awarded a grant of HK$2 million, generously sponsored by the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited.
Prof. Tang's exceptional research in active colloidal materials has been recognized for its innovation and transformative impact. His groundbreaking work revolves around developing a novel type of light-responsive active colloidal material that allows for controlled photoinduced "phase separation." This achievement has significant implications in various fields, such as advancing display technology and creating optical stealth materials. Additionally, Dr. Tang's research has substantially contributed to the fundamental theory of light-controlled active materials and chemically driven micro/nano motors. In 2022, he reached another noteworthy milestone by developing a cluster system of nanorobots, further showcasing his dedication to pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration. As a testament to his outstanding scientific research achievements, Dr. Tang was chosen as a Senior Research Fellow by the Croucher Foundation in 2022.
Prof. Tang's recognition as a laureate of STIP serves as an inspiration for scientific researchers and innovators in Hong Kong. His achievements highlight the importance of persistent innovative exploration and the potential to establish Hong Kong as a hub for groundbreaking research, serving both the nation and the global community.
