Sing Lun Fellowship rewards promising junior faculty projects
Established in 2009 by Mr Patrick Lee, Chairman of Sing Lun Investment Pte Ltd, the Sing Lun Fellowship is given annually to support junior faculty members who have demonstrated the ability to conduct academic and industry-relevant research on business issues in Asia. Nominees are evaluated based on the originality and multidisciplinary nature of projects, research significance, potential to attract the collaborative interest of internationally recognised researchers, and publication in prominent journals and books.
In AY2014/15, Assistant Professor Hoon Chang Yau from the School of Social Sciences and Assistant Professor Liu Yanju from the School of Accountancy were the proud recipients of the Sing Lun Fellowship.
"The Fellowship has been indispensable in helping me to carry out research on the triangular relationship among the state, business and religion by funding my field trips, conferences and research assistants,” said Assistant Professor Hoon Chang Yau.
“Being awarded the Sing Lun Fellowship has provided me the opportunity to conduct in-depth research and introduce my research to a broader audience,” added Assistant Professor Yanju Liu.
