Life can take you on many paths, ultimately guiding you towards the same goal. No one understands this better than Professor Eddie HUI, who joined as Chair Professor to City University of Hong Kong’s (CityUHK) Department of Public and International Affairs (PIA) and became Head of PIA this February.
With a diverse background encompassing research, consultancy and professional expertise, Hui brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his role. Before joining CityUHK, Hui honed a successful career working at major professional surveying firms and a tertiary institution in Hong Kong, where he was at the forefront of research and development. At the same time, he is credited for many groundbreaking projects that have helped shape the city’s urban landscape. His experiences, therefore, provided him with invaluable perspectives into the intricate dynamics of urban environments and set the stage for his endeavours in academia.
Building on his professional success, Hui pursued his PhD at the renowned Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge in the UK, where his exceptional achievements earned him the esteemed title of Fellow of the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust.
“I love teaching, learning and researching and knowing that through education, I can actually make a big impact on society,” he says.
