About CUHK

About Department of Chemistry

Department of Chemistry is a small but elite family of chemists and material scientists, including 2 members of Chinese Academy of Sciences and 6 Croucher Senior Research Fellows.

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
