Prof Chun-Sing LEE obtained his BSc and PhD degrees from the University of Hong Kong in 1987 and 1991 respectively. He then furthered his research career in the University of Birmingham of the United Kingdom with the support from a Croucher Foundation Fellowship. He joined the faculty of the City University of Hong Kong in 1994 and is currently a Chair Professor of Materials Chemistry and the Head of the Department of Chemistry. He is also a co-founded of the Center Of Super-Diamond and Advanced Films (COSDAF) in 1998 and is now the Director of the Center. Prof. LEE’s current research interests include organic electronics devices and nanomaterials for energy, environmental and biomedical applications. In 2016, he established the journal Materials Today Energy with Elsevier and serves as the Editor-in-Chief.
