I made that remark in a speech delivered at the inaugura- tion of the University’s Council. That was ten years ago. Not a
single faculty member was with us then-other than myself.
In fact, HKUST itself was not yet in existence.
Now we are a university at full size: 7,000 students and 500 faculty members. What are our faculty members like? My prediction ten years ago was this:
By and large I think this statement could serve as a pretty good description of our preserit faculty. Of the very distin-
guished senior professors who came as founding members of
the University, some have now retired after a period of extremely intense activity. Others are still here helping to pro- vide vision while strengthening the foundations and planning our long-term strategies. The majority of our faculty, however,
came when they were still young, soon after completing their
doctorates or postdoctoral work. They have matured and blossomed. We are proud and happy that they are becoming local and national leaders in their specialties while staking out significant places for themselves in the international community of scholars. The future clearly belongs to them as they become the backbone and mainstay of the University.
This volume focuses on their background and current research interests. In future editions, we will try to give you a more complete profile of their varied activities, so that J’OL~, the reader, can see for yourself that they are indeed the kind of people you would want as your colleagues, friends, and neighbors.
Please turn the pages and meet the soul of HKLJST.
Chia-Wei WOO President September 199s
