It is my honor to support the HKUST Named Professorships Program which recognizes individuals for their academic performance. I am so proud of Professor Mohamed Ghidaoui’s and other professors’ excellent achievement and dedication. Through knowledge sharing, the Chinese Estates Professorship in Engineering will continue to inspire all to work for the betterment of Hong Kong. To make this come true, HKUST will always have my and our Group’s wholehearted support."
