Bulletin Number One 1986

Dr. Wong Kin-yuen Dr. Lawrence Leung Dr. Yuk-Shan Wong Mr. Stephen C Yam has lectured and published widely, particularly in England, the United States, Italy and Germany, and taught at King's College of the University of London, Washington University in St. Louis, as well as the University of Regensburg, where he lectured in the Faculty of History of Science on historical relations between Western music theory and the exact sciences. He was a member of the Executive Committee of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, and served as editor of articles on musical instruments. Dr. Lindley was appointed Lecturer in Music of this University in 1985. Dr. Sham Tsun Ko n g Lecturer, Department of Chemistry Dr. Sham Tsun Kong graduated from the Department of Chemistry of this University in 1971. He then went to Canada for further studies. After receiving his DSc degree from the University of Western Ontario in 1975, he remained there to conduct research on photoelectron spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation. In early 1977 ， he joined the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States, carrying out research on the electronic behaviour of metals and alloys, the relation between the molecular structure and electron transfer, surface phenomenon, and problems involving the development of photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation techniques in the X-ray induced physical and chemical process. Dr. Sham joined this University as Lecturer in Chemistry in 1985. Apart from teaching Physical Chemistry and other teaching commitments, he continues his research on a number of topics. Dr. Sham has been studying the feasibility of applying synchrotron radiation techniques to chemistry, condensed matters and material science. He was particularly interested in the physical and chemical properties of absorption on metal surfaces. He has conducted a series of research on the interaction of hydrocarbon and metallic atom with metal surfaces, and developed some new techniques i n synchrotron radiation spectroscopy since 1982. Dr. Sham has published over sixty papers in academic journals and book series on the electronic configuration of organometallics o f non-transition elements, Mössbauer Effect, photoelectron spectroscopy, surface phenomenon and the technique of synchrotron radiation spectroscopy. He has also presented his recent research findings at international conferences. Dr. Sham used to serve as a consultant to academic and research funding agents while he was in the United States. Dr . Wong K i n - yuen Lecturer, Department of English Dr. Wong Kin-yuen obtained his Diploma (English) from Hong Kong Baptist College in 1972, his MA (English) degree from Redlands University in 1974 and PhD degree in Comparative literature from the University of California, San Diego in 1980. He was Lecturer of Comparative literature at the University of California, San Diego in 1980-81, and Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at National Taiwan University in 1981-85. He joined this University as Lecturer in the English Department in 1985. Dr. Wong's areas of research include comparative poetics and literary theories. Dr. Lawrence Leung Lecturer, Department of General Business Management & Personnel Management Prior to joining this University, Dr. Leung was an Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering at the 26 PROFILES
