中国香港科技大学与腾讯公司的合作由来已久。2012年3月，中国香港科技大学陈繁昌校长率团队拜访腾讯公司，马化腾先生接待了陈校长一行，双方就合作展开积极讨论。2012-2014年间，双方在科研合作、学术交流、人才培养等方面展开深入合作。2015年11月，腾讯公司和中国香港科技大学宣布成立WHAT Lab（WeChat-HKUST Joint Lab on Artificial Intelligence Technology），以人工智能为主要研究方向，旨在改善用户的生活服务体验，借助大数据拓展机器学习的边界。

再次祝贺张黔教授！

Solving real-life problems in areas not touched by other researchers – this is the motivation that drives Prof Qian Zhang. She indulged this passion while working for Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing, and is now fulfilling this need at HKUST with her work on the Internet of Things (loT) in healthcare.

During her six years at Microsoft Reseach, she headed up a group that developed more efficient ways to utilise wireless networks for the delivery of multimedia. This led to the creation of an end-to-end mobility management system that enabled seamless roaming between3G and WLAN, for which she won the TR-100 World's Top Young Innovation Award in 2004.

On joining HKUST in 2005, she first worked on cognitive radio networks and the concept of dynamic spectrum accessand management. However, always eager to develop new ideas, she moved away fromthe “crowded”cognitive networks research field and is now building a remote digital healthcare monitoring program. Though this, she and her team, inconjunction with medical professionals, have developed wearable devices that monitor vital sighs such as blood presure, ECG, as well as information including quantity/quality of sleep and the amount and the type of food taken throughout the day. This information is then uploaded to a data center via wireless; individuals are then monitored, with advice and treatment given in return.

Prof Zhang received her BSc, MS and PhD, all in computer science, from Wuhan University, China. She is an IEEE fellow, and the co-director and founder of the Huawei-HKUST Innovation Lab, and is the inventor of about 30 international patents.
