“I look upon my role as a professor to be more about mentoring and helping young people to come up with fresh ideas and fulfil their ambitions in their research endeavours. By my providing lots of support, they can explore their ideas, bring them to fruition, and produce results that end up being published in the high-profile scientific literature,” said Professor Stoddart.

At HKU, Professor Stoddart will continue to expand the repertoire of molecular machines with a keen interest in collaborating with willing partners in the broader scientific community in Hong Kong and beyond.
