Statement of Appreciation

It is a tremendous honour to be selected as a scholarship awardee of AGS(HK). I wish to express my profound gratitude for this recognition of my academic achievement in the Master of Applied Geoscience. This honour is an indispensable source of motivation for my professional development in geotechnical engineering, which is now fortified by advanced academic training and a reinforced commitment to excellence.

Through my postgraduate studies, I have deepened my understanding of the vital intersection where advanced geotechnical engineering meets the complex geological challenges of a densely populated city, underscoring our profession's fundamental role in delivering robust designs and safeguarding public safety. Furthermore, this scholarship has solidified my ambition to contribute to this vital industry by tackling its most pressing challenges, particularly through the application of advanced, innovative geotechnical technologies and the pursuit of climate resilience.

Building upon my years of practical experience in geotechnical engineering and engineering geology, this scholarship has been pivotal in bridging the gap between established practice and cutting-edge theory. It has empowered me to critically evaluate and implement advanced methodologies directly into my professional work. My goal is to leverage this unique synergy of hands-on experience and academic excellence to lead projects that not only solve immediate geotechnical challenges but also pioneer more efficient, sustainable, and resilient design approaches for the industry. I am committed to actively engaging with the geotechnical community, utilizing its evolving knowledge base, and perhaps one day inspiring future geologists and engineers just as this scholarship has inspired me.

Once again, I extend my sincere gratitude to AGS(HK) for this honour. It represents a significant milestone in my career, one that will continually inspire my pursuit of excellence and a drive to make meaningful contributions to the geotechnical industry.
