Illustrious physicist and Nobel Laureate, Prof Samuel C.C. Ting, was appointed by the University as Honorary Director of the Lingnan University Institute for Advanced Study (LUIAS). Prof Ting was given an Honorary Doctorate (Doctor of Science, honoris causa) by Lingnan University and visited the campus to host the University Assembly last year, where he lectured on his ongoing space experiments, inspiring the faculty and students alike with his dedication to scientific inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge.

Prof S. Joe Qin, President and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science, extended a warm welcome to him, saying “Prof Ting’s extensive life experiences and profound scientific knowledge will not only contribute to the strategic development of the Institute, but also inspire and motivate our researchers and students to persist in their academic studies, thereby cultivating future talents at Lingnan.”

LUIAS was established in March 2024 in order to attract leading scholars and well-known experts from different academic fields worldwide. In crossing the disciplinary boundaries of the arts and sciences, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, and integrating cutting-edge technology with whole-person education, the Institute focuses on interdisciplinary data analysis and aims to publish research with important social impact.
