Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Analysis of Food Waste Management Options in the Perspective of Global Warming in Hong Kong
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Analysis of Food Waste Management Options in the Perspective of Global Warming in Hong Kong
This research is the first attempt in Hong Kong to outline environmental impacts, costs and benefits of four different management options for food waste by a combination of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis. Study results will provide scientific evidence to support the decision-making of the low-carbon food waste management system in the future in Hong Kong and China. (Early Career Scheme 2012/2013)

Preparing Urban Youth for Further Study and Careers: an International Study Involving Hong Kong
Preparing Urban Youth for Further Study and Careers: an International Study Involving Hong Kong
The aim of the study is to develop a theoretical framework that can account for the post-school destinations of students in Hong Kong. Such a framework will have a local dimension, making it distinctive within the cross-national study of which this is a part. (General Research Fund 2012/2013)

Quadrasyllabic Idiomatic expressions (QIE’s) in Chinese and Neighboring Languages: An Investigation into Linguistic and Cultural History
This project takes an uncommon approach to explore two major areas of interest below by means of the common but relatively unique and inadequately studied Chinese Quadrasyllabic Idiomatic expressions (QIE’s), e.g. 不三不四 [not-3-not-4: improper, inappropriate], similar to English “neither fish nor fowl” but with much more negative connotations, or 四面楚歌 [4-side-‘Chu’-chant: surrounded by enemies].
