September 2012: ICTS appointed three Research
Assistant Professors, jointly with HKBU departments and the Faculty of Science:
Dr
Yutian LI
(with Mathematics), Dr
Xiang WAN
(with Computer Science) and Dr
Yi WANG
(with Computer Science).
- 1 July 2012: HKBU appointed the Director of ICTS: Chair Professor Michel A VAN HOVE (also affiliated with the HKBU Department of Physics)
The Institute of Computational and Theoretical Studies was established in 2011 to enhance inter-disciplinary research on computational and theoretical studies, and attract overseas research groups for interdisciplinary and collaborative research, so as to create a critical mass which can conduct research of higher impact. Its specific objectives are:
- to enlarge our research platform with different research groups to facilitate interdisciplinary and collaborative group research;
- to increase contacts with international/regional scholars toward collaborative research
- to promote academic exchange activities building on existing research strengths
- to enhance interest from potential donors with a research institute of larger scale
The Members of the ICTS Advisory Committee are:
- Professor Weinan E, Princeton University and Peking University, Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences
- Professor Zhiming MA, Institute of Applied Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing
- Professor Steven G LOUIE, University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Member of US National Academy of Sciences
- Dr Yuhai TU, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center and Peking University, Fellow American Physical Society
- Professor Guoliang CHEN, Shenzhen University, Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences

- enter the building at plaza level (on 5th floor, reachable by external escalators from street level), then take the lift to 10th floor;
- approach by public transport:
- take exit B or D or F from MTR Kowloon Tong Station
- then take a frequent green-topped Public Light Bus 29A from here for about 5 minutes to Junction Road here (shout "next stop" as the bus enters Junction Road)
- turn left at the next street, cross the small university garden straight ahead, and go up the external escalator
- next turn right then left around the building to its entrance and lift lobby
- finally take the lift to the 10th floor and ring the bell at the Institute's door
- alternatively, it's an easy 10-15 minute walk from MTR Kowloon Tong Station to the Institute
