Dr LEE Hoi Man Sarah
BSc (CUHK), PCEd, MEd, PhD (HKU)
Dr Lee Hoi Man Sarah is the Senior Lecturer of the Department of Science and Environmental Studies, EdUHK. As a former secondary school teacher for 10 years, she has solid experience in teaching science in secondary schools and designing teaching materials for inside and outside classroom uses. In addition, she has been participating in various projects related to teaching and learning, such as STEM, science process skills, and misconceptions in Science learning. From her sound understanding of science education and the strong connections with local science teaches, she is well acquainted with the educational needs of local context.
Dr CHEANG Chi Chiu
BBSc, MPhil, PhD (CUHK)
Dr. Cheang is an associate professor in the Education University of Hong Kong. He was trained to be an environmental ecologist, equipped with the molecular techniques. His research expertise includes the ecology, taxonomy, phylogenetic inference and phylogeographic studies of marine algae and invertebrate such as scleractinian corals and crustacean. He has expanded his research interest to various pedagogical theories and skills in the science and environmental educations, particularly on the experiential learning in the field-based, place-based and service-based pedagogies as well as the e-learning and blended learning approaches.

Dr Choi Tat Shing
BSc, MPhil, PhD (HKUST)
Dr. Choi is a lecturer of the Department of Science and Environmental Studies, EdUHK. He is a statistical physicist, who is interested in understanding how underlying microscopic roles cause macroscopic phenomena. He studied modeling of complex systems in reality. Using the analytical tools from statistical mechanics, he explored topics in various areas such as economics, transport systems and machine learning. He also tries to explore how new technologies or inventions can be used to enhance science education.
Dr CHONG Yee Ling
BSc (Biotechnology) (UPM), MSc (Molecular Microbiology), PGD (Teaching & Learning) (UNIMAS), PhD (Biology) (Penn State)
Dr Chong is a lecturer at The Education University of Hong Kong. Her research interest is in animal disease ecology and conservation. She has led field surveys and sampling, laboratory studies, and using genetic data to investigate animals and their microbiomes and viral pathogens for ecological and health implications. Recently, she explored her research interest in theories and practices of education, particularly in science, environmental, and animal conservation.
Dr Deng Wenjing
BSc, MPhil (NJAU), PhD (HKBU, SYSU)
Dr Deng Wenjing is an Associate Professor, who has successfully established her research in Emerging Chemicals in the Environment especially in the Indoor Environment and Children Health. Dr Deng has secured some internal and external fundings including ECS, GRF, etc. Her past and ongoing research will make a tangible impact on the wellbeing of our society and protect public health, especially for children health. Dr Deng has produced more than 50 SCI publications in leading environmental journals (mostly A* or A). Her research gained international visibility in the field. Nevertheless, Dr Deng’s community service including participating in QTNC project and UGC joint teaching project, and promoting STEM education in primary and secondary schools will make a significant contribution to understanding the STEM education.
