HONG KONG: Professor Gao Yang, a prominent scholar in the fields of robotics and aerospace, left King’s College London to join the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in May after being approached to take up new roles there.
While her move back to Asia was primarily driven by her family’s needs, she said Hong Kong’s current focus on developing its scientific fields at a world-class level as a strategic driver for long-term growth was a major pull factor for her.
