Education can help save our environment
Professor Ho Wing-kei of the Department of Science and Environmental Studies has a passion for innovation but sees learning as the key to the future of mankind. As an expert in air purification, he has been awarded more than 10 patents in mainland China, Hong Kong, Europe and the United States for his innovations, and is one of the top 1% most-widely cited scientists in his field of research globally. Yet, he is driven by a humbler conviction than invention and innovation. “I’m certain the planet can be saved through education,” he says.
