With outstanding scientific research, HKUST is leading the world in many teaching and research fields. Outstanding achievements include: the scientists of the College of science have successfully developed molecular biosensors and used them to monitor the process of cell death; they have developed a brand-new electrorheological fluid, which can be used to manufacture clutches and replace gear rotating devices, bringing significant technological progress to mechanical industries such as automobiles. The important scientific research achievements of the Institute of technology include the development of fast search motion picture technology, which has been internationally recognized as the fourth series of international multimedia application standards (MPEG-4) of the "motion picture experts organization"; the support and recognition of the Chinese government, and the construction of the first key laboratory of the Ministry of education in Hong Kong with Microsoft Asia Research Institute - "Key Laboratory of information technology of the Ministry of Education - Microsoft" Room.

The total number of papers published by the school of Humanities and Social Sciences in the three most authoritative academic journals of Chinese research ranked the top five in the world, along with Harvard University and Stanford University. With advanced facilities, HKUST has a number of unique large-scale scientific research facilities in Asia, including: the first super large geotechnical centrifuge laboratory and the first wind tunnel facility "CLP wind tunnel laboratory" of Asia Pacific universities; the unique ocean color satellite receiving station in Hong Kong; material testing laboratory and microelectronics manufacturing laboratory, etc. The mainland development University of science and technology is recognized as one of the best universities in China and has established close cooperation with academic institutions in the mainland. We have signed university level agreements with several leading universities in the mainland: Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, China University of science and technology, Harbin Institute of technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University and Sun Yat sen University. We have implemented the exchange program and selected mainland Postgraduates to Hong Kong. A number of research projects have been funded by the national "863" and "973" programs, with a total amount of more than 100 million yuan. Two of the "973" projects, "applied theory and high performance software in information technology", and "Research on large scale scientific computing", are co-ordinated by professors of HKUST. More than 15 projects have been funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, including micro system, wireless communication and environmental protection research. To develop Nansha Information Technology Park in cooperation with Guangzhou municipal government and Fok Ying Tung foundation. Jointly with Shenzhen municipal government and Peking University to establish "Shenzhen Hong Kong industry university research base" and "medical center" in Shenzhen. The way out for graduation: the undergraduate students recruited by HKUST in the mainland have outstanding performance and excellent results. After graduation, students have a wide range of opportunities, including: further study in famous universities in North America, such as Columbia University, Cornell University, University of Illinois, Northwest University, University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University , University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, etc.; continue to study postgraduate courses in HKUST; work in Hong Kong commercial institutions (such as Cathay Pacific, Dragonair, Ernst & amp; young, KPMG, Deloitte, HSBC, etc.); a few choose to work in the mainland.
