"wo叫I oppor川”的 combine
academia and business is how Dr. Keith
White 抖 unt sees the post of director of
the Technology Transfer Centre (TIC),
the position which he took up on 5 July.
Although Dr. White司Hunt has
spent the past 15 years in busi
-ness, he spent the first years of his
career in universities. Since then,
he has worked hard to keep one
foot firmly in the academic world,
making time in his personal life to
publish papers and maintain his
academic credentials. These in
-clude a Master of Science in indus
-trial technology and management
and a Doctor of Science in international
business economics, together with more
than 50 publications.
Much of Dr. White
bl』si 『1esswas spent starting up new ven
-tu 『esusing new technologies. This should
fit well with his new position at TIC,
where he sees his principal role as being “to commercialize technology that is gen
-erated as a resL』It of HKUST research
activity.
”
With this in mind, Dr. White-Huntwill spend the next few months getting to know staff and learning about the
Univer-sity's research projects. A process of
“
get-ting to know my
product before I
sell it’”he says.
Dr. White
-Hunt is also
im-pressed with the
technology
trans-fer structure al
-ready in place at
HKUST for this
purpose, pa吋icu
larly the existence and functioning of the TIC's commercial arm, HKUST RandD
Corporation Limited, of which he will be
Vice-President (Commercial Division). It
is the “most formalized, most aggressive
and most sophisticated
”
system he hasseen in a university environment anywhere
in the world.
The TTC's overall mission is to
strengthen Hong Kong
’
s industrial base,says Dr. White-Hunt.
“
Hong Kong’
s cur”rent wealth is in trade and finance. In order
for it to maintain its economic
pre-emi-nence, Hong Kong must establish a third
leg: technology-based industry. The aim
of TIC is to do everything it can to develop
new technology-based industries here in
Hong Kong and to make it the hub of
economic activity for the whole of south”
ern China.”
Although he has been a resident of
the U.S. for 30 years
’
a trained ear can justdiscern Dr. White-Hunt
’
s roots in the northof England. While he has never lived in
Asia, he has historical links with Hong
Kong: his father was on the Royal Navy
ship that hosted the fo『malceremony for
the Japanese surrender of Hong Kong 50
years ago.

Hl<UST Leads in

The RGC allocated a total of $276 million in research grants
for 1995-96, up from the $260 million spent last year.
“
Government funding for academic research has growndramatically, between 20 and 25% every year fo『 thepast four
years’,,Prof. Ko says, adding that the RGC will have $330 million
at its disposal for 1997 and $400 million for 1998.
Equally as encouraging has been the increase in the number
of proposals submitted. This year the RGC received a lucky 888
research applications for con
-sideration, up 25% from last
year.
Besides the availability of
more RGC funding, Professor
Ko credits HKUST faculty for
its

Camp (see p.3) placed a spotlight on some of the issues of attracting women into science and engineering. This prompted Genesis to look at HKUST
’
s own record on female representa-tion. For the Unive『sityas a whole, 29 out of the 359 faculty are female (8%). But when the figures are broken down by School, some sta吋lingdifferences emerge.In the School of Science, 5% of the faculty are women,
compared with 6% in the School of Engineering, 9% in the
School of Business and Management and 24% in the School of
Humanities and Social Science. Prof. Peter Dobson, Assoc. V”
P/Msays ：“︱’mnot surprised at the patterns. I don’t think they’re atypical.
”
Prof. Dobson says the figures relate back to the numbers of
women studying in the different areas and going on to receive a
PhD. For example, engineering is classically a male-dominated
field, whereas women are usually well represented in the a此s
and social sciences. This is borne out by figures f『omthe U.S.
National Research Council detailing the percentage of PhDs in

each field awarded to
women in 1992 (see
graph). According to the data, only 9% of PhDs in
engineering were awarded to women in
1992 but47% of PhDs in the a內s,humanities and social sciences were gained by women.
Given this factor, Prof. Dobson says HKUST
“
may not be d。”ing as badly as it looks
”
but admits that there is room forimprovement.
“
Of course we want to attract more women intobusiness, engineering and science’”he says.“Women facL』lty
serve as role 『node峙， showing young women that careers in
these fields are within their reach.

Prof. Leroy Chang, Dean of Science, was surp『ised at the
low percentage of women faculty in his School, pa叫icularly
because women are generally well represented in the biological
sciences. In the U.S. study, the percentage of women receiving
PhDs in the life and physical sciences is about 26%.
Prof. Chang emphasized that, in common with the other
three Schools, appointments in Science are made solely on the
basis of merit. He thinks that families might not be so willing to
move for the woman

s job as for the man’
s
Prof. Hsi-sheng Ch'i, Dean of Humanities and Social Sc卜
enceis “not surp『ised’， thathis School has the highest percent

the best academic judgement his School has simultaneously
achieved a high level of female representation.
If the success of the enginee『ing camp among the girls is anything to go by, at least the future looks a little bit rosier.
ON THE
LIGHT SIDE
Exercise
Ex。reism
回
oom叫 yea『帆 I
was a freshmmy roommates joined the track and C『oss-count『yteams. We
were studying at MIT, which had no ambitions of world domi
-nance in athletic competition, and I found that our ancient but
congenial coach (who had once held the world record for the
indoor mile - but probably not in this century) was quite willing to let anyone join the team for wo『kouts, even those of us who had zero chance of actually making the team. So for most of that
year, I ran at least a couple of miles per day, and practised for
various time trials. My best time in the 440 was a minute and a
qua叫er,achieved only by ski此mgthe edge of unconsciousness
in the last few strides.
When I got a bit older and had more sense, however, I found
that I lost my taste for burning lungs and lingering shin splints. Some of my health conscious friends were fond of explaining how they had been able to work up to a high level of endurance by exercising until they got tired each day. I figured I had them beat, because I had worked my way down to getting tired each day without exercising at all.
This worked fine for me for many years. As I aged, I noticed
that my colleagues who engaged in regular and vigorous
exer-cise tended to pass away in the p『imeof their lives, while us
couch potatoes lingered on. Oh, sure, they looked better at their funerals than we did alive, but I felt they had paid kind of a high
price for the sake of appearances. Even today, I find that most of the older people I see exercising tell me they took up the practice in their later yea『s. I suspect those who sta吋edyoung
never made it to their age.
Still, in recent years
’
exercise has become politically correct.Not being immune to this kind of pressure, last summer I finally
yielded and began a program of 「egularexercise. I pushed up,
sat up, bent over, and ran on a treadmill nearly every day for quite a few months.
The reward for all this effort was a hernia, and while I am not
sure I enjoyed the exercise, I am quite sure I did not enjoy the surgery. Granted it was
“
minor”
surgery, but I doubt that I would have regarded getting a wound that size "minor'
’
if I had beenassaulted. Furthermore, the worst part was the pre-operative
shave. This is a family newspaper, so I can
’
t tell you where thenurses shaved me, but suffice it to say that the process took
longer than the surgery and the accidental cuts took longer to heal than the incision.
Well, at least I've learned my lesson. Now when I get the urge to exercise, I do the sensible thing. I lie down until it goes away.
