國家重科創發展 為港創機遇

國務院總理李克強於本月5日在「第十三屆全國人大五次會議」開幕會中，發布《政府工作報告》，以下是筆者針對《報告》中有關國家科技創新發展工作的看法：
 
一、2021年是不平凡的一年，新冠疫情全球肆虐、中美貿戰不斷升温、世界經濟持續波動。面對複雜嚴峻的國內外形勢，以及諸多風險挑戰，中央政府去年工作的主要目標任務得以較好完成，殊不容易，亦助力「十四五規劃」良好開局，甚具策略性。在普遍較多人關注的經濟發展領域方面，國家去年的國內生產總值（GDP）增長率為8.1%，略勝預期；總值為114萬億元人民幣，僅次於美國，全球排行第二。

Professor Raymond Tong, Professor and Chairman of The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s (CUHK) Department of Biomedical Engineering, has been elected to the 2022 Class of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows, in recognition of his distinguished contributions to inventing the Hand of Hope exoskeleton for stroke rehabilitation and establishing the first university Biomedical Engineering Department in Hong Kong. This year, 153 members were elected to the Fellow Class of 2022 for their contributions to teaching, research, and innovation. Among them, Professor Tong is the only scholar from Hong Kong.
 
“I am honoured to be recognised by the AIMBE for the research impact that we can have in the community with our inventions. I will continue to explore, innovate and address societal needs by enhancing the technological growth and advancement in the fields of biomedical engineering,” said Professor Tong.
 
Over the years, Professor Tong has notched up numerous achievements in research and education. In 2012, he led a research team that developed the groundbreaking mechanical robotic hand rehabilitation system “Hand of Hope”, enabling stroke patients to rehabilitate their hand functions through motor relearning. With concerted efforts, the new version of the soft robotic hand, incorporating the latest 3D silicone printing technology, was later developed to further improve stroke patients’ rehabilitation process. On the education front, Professor Tong is the founding Chairman of the first university Department of BME established in Hong Kong. With his persistence and dedication, Professor Tong has led the Department to educate hundreds of biomedical engineers to contribute solutions to human health problems since its inception in 2017.
 
Professor Tong is a world-renowned biomedical engineer. In 2020, he was among the top two percent of the world’s scientists whose papers were highly cited during their careers, demonstrating significant and broad influences in their field of study. His research interests include rehabilitation robotics, brain-computer control interfaces (BCI), neural engineering, functional electrical stimulation (FES) and cognitive assessment software. He has received numerous awards for his research contributions, including the “Global Ageing Influencers 2021” award at the 9th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards Ceremony held by Ageing Asia in Singapore, and was a recipient of the 2013 Ten Outstanding Young Persons (Hong Kong).

Prof. Li Zhang, Professor of the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering (MAE) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Director of the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) - CUHK Joint Laboratory of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, has been received a five-year project funding with over HK$ 6 million funding amounts from the Research Impact Fund (RIF) 2021/22 in support to his pioneering project  titled, “A Microrobotic Platform with Swarming Magnetic Microgels for Endovascular Embolization”. The project aims to address the key challenges and study functionalized magnetic swarming microgels for the image-guided endovascular intervention of embolization treatment.

Prof. Zhang’s main research interests include small-scale robotics and their applications for translational biomedicine. He has published over 260 articles, including Science Robotics, Nature Machine Intelligence (News & Views), Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, etc. He is the recipient of the Hong Kong Research Grants Committee (RGC) Early Career Award in 2013, CUHK Young Researcher Award 2017, United College Early Career Research Excellence Merit Award 2018, CUHK Research Excellence Award 2019-20, and RGC Research Fellow (RFS) Award 2021/22. He is elected as the Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), and acts as a Senior Member of IEEE.

Prof. Zhang said, “I am deeply honored to receive the funding from the RIF 2021/22. It is achieved by the unfailing support from the colleagues of the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of MAE, the long-term trust relationship with our industry partners, the close collaborations with the talented minds from the Faculty of Medicine at CUHK, The University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong as well as the relentless effort of my research team members. Without their years of support, it would not have been made possible.”

About the Research Impact Fund

The Research Impact Fund (RIF) aims to encourage local academics to consider and articulate the potential of research to deliver benefits to the wider community; and to encourage more impactful and translational research projects and to encourage a greater volume of collaborative research beyond academia (e.g. with government departments, the business sector, the industry and research institutes). Under the RIF exercise, mandatory matching funds are required from UGC-funded universities/organisational partner(s) for approved projects on a 70% (RGC)/30% (university/organisational partner(s)) basis. Every successful application can receive a funding amount of up to HK$ 10 million from the RGC.
