Besides peer-reviewed articles, I have spent a lot of time communicating my research outcomes and conducting community outreach by submitting news columns to local newspapers in Hong Kong. Since the first publication in a local newspaper in 2016, I have published 10 articles so far in local and online media outlets. The media coverage has helped connecting the academic research with community interests and concerns, and in return the attention from media locally in Hong Kong has also gained traction around the world, which has been beneficial to advance further in my research agenda, student recruitment and university marketing. To date, there have been 16 media coverage about my collaborative work from media in HK and around the world.
Here're the ones I published on the Stand News:
