Dr Chow’s research work mainly lies in the areas of chemical design and the synthesis of metal complexes with applications as sensors in the areas of environmental, food and biomedical monitoring, which are influential in the research field of environmental studies. Dr Chow has been actively involved in the field of supramolecular chemistry for more than a decade. Over the past two years at the Institute, he has obtained more than HK$2 million in research funding in the capacity of Principal Investigator from the Hong Kong and China governments. His research has led to more than 20 peer-reviewed articles, two-thirds of which have been published in international journals ranked within the top 10% in their respective disciplines. Several of Dr Chow’s research articles have been highlighted as cover stories. Since 2003, his publications have been cited more than 500 times by peers in his field of research, with an average of 50 citations per year. For many years, Dr Chow has been an expert reviewer for several high-impact international journals, including the Journal of the American Chemical Society and Chemical Science. He was appointed Visiting Professor of the South China Normal University in 2012. Dr Chow also promotes science education among the general public by regularly writing on chemistry and environmental science topics in major Hong Kong newspapers. In October 2012, he successfully filed a US patent on a chemical sensor capable of detecting food toxins. His research had a considerable impact, attracting attention from local Japanese sushi shops and the Hong Kong Hotel Association for its potential applications in maintaining the quality of fresh food. |
