TOPIC INSIGHT • 專題探討 27 2024 UMAGAZINE 30 • 澳大新語 Prof Maloberti: By effectively fulfilling our roles as educators, we can empower young people to realise their dreams. Over the years, I have met many ambitious Chinese students eager to build a brilliant future through innovative research. Since 1997, I have collaborated with UM’s chip R&D team. A state key laboratory in microelectronics was later established at the university, which has facilitated my interactions and communications with UM faculty and students, further driving advancements in chip technology. In nurturing students, my role is to help them avoid pitfalls in their research journey. This process is like making a good cake: To succeed, you need good ingredients and a good oven; but maybe you also need some baking powder, and that’s me. with industry partners is essential throughout research and development. Prof Wong: If a research team has not yet identified the potential market value of their work, they can continue to develop their project based on their original ideas. This is because most researchers are good at developing innovative ideas but often fail to recognise the commercial value of their research results. In such cases, the role of the university’s academia-industry collaboration or intellectual property (IP) department becomes crucial. They can offer support to research teams on how to form partnerships with businesses. Leading international universities encourage professors to apply for patents. They direct professors to the IP department, which helps them find business partners and introduces their projects to businesses. Question: How should universities innovate teaching and research to cultivate the next generation of talent? Prof Leong: I would suggest that universities put more emphasis on digital technology and incorporate digital skills into their undergraduate curricula. UM’s visiting fellowships are a very good initiative for student development. As a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences at UM, I have delivered lectures and provided research guidance for students, and facilitated academic exchanges for many UM researchers in my lab in the US. All these efforts are very beneficial to student development.
