degree in physical education and science. He then pursued an M.Ed, programme in teaching administration and physical education in Springfield College, USA on an I n t e r n a t i on al Tuition Scholarship provided by Springfield. For two years following the completion of the programme, he taught physical education and science at secondary school level in the Birmingham area and lectured part-time at Dudley College. In August 1981 he returned to Springfield College as doctoral research and teaching assistant in the Biology Department for one year and spent another year in the Physical Education Department. He received his doctorate in physical education in 1983. Soon after his graduation, Dr. Eston joined the Department of Movement Science and Physical Education of the University of Liverpool to help develop courses in 'exercise physiology' and 'active- health' and to train physical education teachers. He became director of the B.Sc. degree programme in movement science and physical education in 1988. Dr. Eston has published extensively on subjects like body composition assessment, perceived exertion during exercise, menstrual cycle during exercise, anaerobic performance assessment, and children's response to exercise. Dr. Eston is a past master of rugby who also enjoys swimming, running, playing basketball and tennis. He is married, with three children. Dr. Lena Fung Lecturer in Physical Education Dr. Lena Fung was an active member of various school teams when she was studying at the Diocesan Girls' School. With a keen interest in sports, she went to the UK to study physical education and obtained a B.Ed, degree from the University of Sussex in 1973. She then returned to Hong Kong and joined The Chinese University as an instructor in the Physical Eduction Unit. During the first four years of her teaching career, she represented Hong Kong in playing field hockey, track and field events, and fencing. In 1980, she took leave to pursue further studies in physical education at Springfield College, USA and received an M.Sc. degree a year later. On returning to Hong Kong, Dr. Fung started to involve herself in the coaching of the disabled in different sports and was appointed as the coach for Hong Kong's national team for various international games for the disabled. Dr. Fung completed a doctoral programme at Walden University, USA in 1989 and became coordinator of The Chinese University's part-time degree programme in physical education in the same year. She was appointed lecturer in physical education in August 1990. Dr. Eden Ka Ho Wu Lecturer in Statistics Dr. Eden Wu studied mathematics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and graduated with a B.Sc. degree in 1981. Having taught in a local secondary school for a few years, he went to Canada in 1985 to further his studies in statistics. He obtained his M.Sc. from Dalhousie University in 1986 and completed a Ph.D. programme at the University of Alberta in 1990. Dr. Wu then returned to Hong Kong and joined this University in August 1990 as lecturer in statistics. Dr. Wu is married, with one son. Dr. Kin Wah Yu Lecturer in Physics Dr. K.W. Yu graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1977 with a first-class honours B.Sc. degree in physics. He then pursued doctoral studies at the University of California at Los Angeles and obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1984. Specializing in condensed matter physics and computational physics, Dr. Yu is actively involved in research on subjects like percolation models, electronic transport in disordered media, superconductivity and computer simulation. He has recently obtained a research grant from the UPGC to work on high- temperature superconductivity, and will focus on the role of spin fluctuations in superconducting mechanisms, Dr. Yu has published over 30 papers in various journals of international standing.
