Feature Interview｜"Women in Science" – Satellite Hero Prof. Hui Su Hopes More Women Will Join the Frontiers of Research

2024-03-22

In September 2022, Prof. Hui Su joined The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) from NASA and took part in leading the “HKUST–ALRIS-1” satellite project—the first Earth observation satellite led by Hong Kong’s higher education sector. The project aims to enhance precision forecasting of extreme weather events such as typhoons and heavy rainstorms, as well as monitor greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, contributing actively to China’s “carbon neutrality” goals and global emission reduction efforts. During her time at NASA, Prof. Su was twice awarded the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal, and last year received the Banner I. Miller Award from the American Meteorological Society in recognition of her outstanding contributions to advancing weather forecasting.
