Professor Roland Chin Tai-hong, BBS, JP (Chinese: 錢大康; born 1952) is the current President of the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU).[2] Before that he was the Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Chair Professor of Computer Science of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the first university established in the East Asia region controlled by the British Empire, from 2010 to 2015.[3]
After receiving the bachelor and PhD degrees specialising in Electrical Engineering at the University of Missouri, Columbia in 1975 and 1979 respectively, Chin had spent two years in the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, of NASA.[3] He pursued a teaching career and commenced it at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Wisconsin–Madison in Madison, Wisconsin, where he had stayed for about a decade and a half from 1981 to 1995.
Chin then served in Hong Kong and joined the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) as the Chair Professor of Computer Science in his career at HKUST. With the course of time he started to undertake crucial role in the institution, getting to serve as Vice-President for Research and Development (2003-2006) and subsequently as Deputy President and Provost (2006-2010). In 2010, he was unanimously agreed by the selection committee in the final stage to be appointed Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong.[4]
In May 2015 he accepted the appointment at HKBU and assumed the office later in September that year after his provostship at HKU.[5][6]
