Body: 
To step up efforts to cultivate financial technology (FinTech) talent and strengthen the University’s links with corporations, The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s (CUHK) Engineering FinTech Applied Research Academy (CEFAR) and Deloitte China (Deloitte) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today (4 August), offering training opportunities to skilled FinTech students.
 
The MOU marks a collaboration between the academic and business sectors to foster the development of thought leadership and nurture future generations of business people. Under the MOU, Deloitte offers internship and talent programmes that give CUHK FinTech students the chance to gain first-hand experience of business and industry knowledge. In addition, students will get to learn the latest industry trends from Deloitte mentors passing on their knowledge.
 
At the MOU signing ceremony, CUHK Faculty of Engineering’s Acting Dean Professor Tsang Hon-ki remarked, “It is our honour to work with Deloitte to cultivate future FinTech leaders in the financial sector. Since its inception in 2020, CEFAR has successfully undertaken many applied research projects and provided internship opportunities for our students. Through their participation in the projects and internships, students are able to solve real-life problems by applying the knowledge and skills they have learnt in class. CEFAR collaborates closely with the banking industry and financial regulatory bodies. The collaboration with Deloitte marks a further milestone for CEFAR, allowing us to strengthen another connection with an international conglomerate in our professional service network, and elevating our efforts to develop a larger pool of FinTech talents to meet the needs of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.” 
 
Deloitte China’s Southern Region Managing Partner Mr Edward Au commented, “Talent is one Hong Kong’s most important assets in securing and strengthening our lead in financial services in Asia and the world. We are delighted to step up our collaboration with CUHK. Its Faculty of Engineering launched the first FinTech undergraduate programme in Hong Kong and it is recognised as a leader in FinTech education and research. As part of Deloitte’s INspire HK strategy, this partnership demonstrates our deep commitment to cultivating Hong Kong’s future FinTech talents. We look forward to supporting more academic-business exchanges and collaborations.”
 
Deloitte China’s Government Affairs Southern Region Leader and Hong Kong Digital Assets Leader Mr Robert Lui added, “In view of the rising demand for FinTech professionals in our day-to-day business, it is necessary to equip our young talent with a wide range of skills and knowledge, from technology to business, and from strategy to regulations. Closer, cross-disciplinary collaborations within the FinTech ecosystem play a significant role in enhancing our talent pool to support the fast-growing industry.”

TSANG Chung Yin Justin, a final year undergraduate student from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has won a Gold Award from the ASM Technology competition 2022 with the project titled “Colloidal Copper-doped ZIF-8 as a Potential Treatment for Atherosclerosis”. The ASM Technology Award promotes technological innovation in Hong Kong and recognises students for their accomplishments in technology. The winning project is supervised by Prof. Sebastian Beyer. It demonstrates a colloidal biocatalyst, copper-doped Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 8 (ZIF-8), that can convert blood borne s-nitrosothiols into nitric oxide, which can be used as a targeted and sustained colloidal drug carrier for acidic atherosclerotic plaques. Justin received a scholarship award of $30,000 with Certificate of Merit from ASMPT Limited.

CUHK Engineering team claims victory at the Robocon Hong Kong Contest for the second year in a row

The Engineering team of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)’s Faculty of Engineering has claimed victory at the Robocon Hong Kong Contest for the second year in a row. The team will attempt to win glory representing Hong Kong at the Asia-Pacific Robocon Contest, after its success in the competition in 2019.
 
Held on 26 June at the Hong Kong Science Park, the 2022 Hong Kong competition featured 14 student teams from eight higher educational institutions. CUHK’s team Golden Striker clinched the Championship and Best Team Spirit Award, while another CUHK team Power Builder finished in fourth place.
 
The theme of this year's contest, Lagori, was inspired by a traditional game widely played in South India. Each team is required to design two robots that compete with the opposing team. One robot aims to knock over a Lagori Tower made of Lagori Discs (coloured sponge blocks) by throwing soft balls at them, while the other robot tries to rebuild the tower after it has collapsed. The defensive robots (the opponent) can throw balls at the attacking side to interrupt them. The final score is calculated based on the number of Lagori Discs knocked down and piled up within 90 seconds, with the team with the highest score winning. 
 
Golden Striker’s road to success was far from easy. In 10 internal practice matches, the team was defeated nine times. “At that time, it was only a week before the contest. We could have been fighting a losing battle,” says Billy Yip, team coach of CUHK robotics team.
 
Repeated failures drove the team to go to great lengths. After evaluating the matches and learning from their mistakes, team members racked their brains to think of ground-breaking ideas. “We came up with a creative approach to keeping the robots away from the effective range at which the opponents’ robot could interrupt our attack. It was a reliable strategy and the key to victory,” says team leader Kwok Lam Him. “I am thankful for the hard work of my diligent teammates. All this would not have been possible without skilled techniques, talented minds and, most importantly, team spirit.”
 
Billy also highlighted that the team had invented and applied advanced robotics technologies. “We adopted a brand new 360-degree rotation wheel system for the robots, offering higher maneuverability and movement speed. It is the product of two years of independent research, refinement and repeated testing by current and former teammates. They also invented an AI ball detection system to track movement of balls by the opponent.”
 
As in previous years, the members of the CUHK robotics team come from a variety of academic backgrounds, including four medical students and a physics student. The interdisciplinary exchange of ideas, substantial experience in this robotics competition (four championships within the past seven years: in 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2022) and advice from Engineering professors, all helped to improve the CUHK robotics team’s performance.
 
The Robocon Hong Kong Contest is an annual flagship event organised by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, which aims to nurture local talents and take the city’s innovative technologies to the international stage. Golden Striker will go on to represent Hong Kong at The Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Asia-Pacific Robot Contest, to be hosted in New Delhi and held online this August.
