Professor Pak Wo Leung obtained his BSc at the University of Hong Kong in 1984 and PhD at Cornell University in 1990. After spending two years as a postdoc at the Florida State University, Professor Leung joined the Physics Department at HKUST in 1992. He had received many teaching awards, including the School of Science Teaching Award (2004), Best Ten Lectures (2006, 2007, 2012, 2014), and Michael G Gale Medal for Distinguished Teaching (2007). Prof Leung is now the Associate Dean of Science.

Professor Leung's research interest is in the application of large scale and parallel computing to condensed matter physics, including low-dimension quantum spin systems and high temperature superconductivity.
