I'm a Year 1 Student at the University of Hong Kong majoring in Economics and Finance, pursuing my Laidlaw Journey currently with research at UCL on Climate Chance and Sustainability Education. I'm interested in learning about and working towards initiatives across Environmental conservation, Education, and Poverty Alleviation. Also, a deep admirer of transcendentalist literature/ poetry and Sufi Music!
Hello! My name's Kyle and I'm a third-year medical student at the University of Hong Kong. I'll also be pursuing my Master's degree in research during my enrichment year, focusing on my Laidlaw project and hopefully making some inroads to something I've been working on since last year. My project is about the potential of certain types of gut microbiota as a clinical intervention to hypertension, which will be split into two separate clinical trials over the following academic year. On the side, I'm also working on some ideas regarding the correlation between gut microbiome composition and carotid IMT thickness, which will hopefully help explain certain mechanisms behind the causation and correlation between the gut and occurrence of atherosclerosis. Please reach out if you are interested in neurology, volunteering in medical capacities or the Capo Verde national football team.
Cheers!
Hi! My name is Naziba and I am from Bangladesh, but currently in Hong Kong for my undergraduate studies at The University of Hong Kong where I study Molecular Biology and Biotechnology.
Besides my academics, I am a very passionate teacher who enjoys making high school science feel more interesting and less taxing. I also love watching movies with my cats and taking nature walks with my friends.
I am excited to start my Laidlaw research journey this year under the Faculty of Health and Medicine at University of Leeds . I am really looking forward to making friends in the Laidlaw community so feel free to reach out in my DMs if you wish to connect!
Hi! This is Avian, a second-year student of History at the University of Hong Kong. My research centres around identity and sense of belonging in urban colonial societies, specifically the arbitrary distinction between the “Colonials” and the “Governed,” and those that laid somewhere in between. Outside of the archive, I am a diligent in-class Tetris gamer, amateur banjolele player, and most importantly, a lifelong book hoarder. Please feel the most welcome to reach out anytime!
