375 Dr. Liu Hongbin specializes in marine plankton ecology, with a particular focus on the physiology and ecology of microzooplankton, as well as the structure and dynamics of marine microbial food web. Over the past two decades, Dr. Liu has led and participated in more than a dozen of research projects, resulting in the publication of over 270 papers in SCI journals and garnering over 8300 citations (Google Scholar, H-index 50). Dr. Liu's research has been exploring the significance of oceanic picoplankton in global primary productivity and carbon cycling, as well as the mechanisms governing microbial food webs, biological pumps, and their responses to global warming. Using molecular biology techniques, Dr. Liu and his team have extensively explored the diversity of marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes, with a particular emphasis on Synechococcus and unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacteria. In recent years, Dr. Liu has also focused his research on the ecological processes and environmental problems, such as the causes and controlling mechanisms of harmful algal bloom and hypoxia in estuaries and coastal regions, especially in the Pearl River Estuary and Hong Kong coastal waters. 劉紅斌博士主要從事海洋浮遊生物生態學研究，特別是微微型浮遊生物的生理生 態以及海洋微食物網的結構與動力的研究。 二十幾年來，先後參加和主持了十幾 個研究課題，發表SCI 論文270餘篇，被引用達8300餘次 （Google Scholar， Hindex 50)。 劉紅斌博士對全球大洋的微微型浮遊生物在初級生產力和碳循環圈中 的重要性，以及微食物網和生物泵的機制及對暖化的回應等方面進行了較為深入 研究。 利用分子生物學方法，劉紅斌博士團隊對海洋原核和真核微生物多樣性， 特別是聚球藻（Synechococcus）和單細胞固氮藍藻的分子生理生態進行了深入的探 索。 此外，劉博士近幾年也著重研究近岸河口海域，特別是珠江三角洲及香港近 岸水域的生態過程以及環境問題，如紅潮和低氧（hypoxia）的發生與控制機制等。 Dr. Liu Hongbin is currently a Chair Professor in the Department of Ocean Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He is an editorial board member for several academic journals and has been appointed as the guest editor for six special issues. Dr. Liu is a member of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), and was elected as an ASLO Fellow in 2019. He also serves in a number of advisory committees of the Hong Kong SAR Government, including the Red Tide Expert Advisory Group (RTEAG) and the Drinking Water Safety Advisory
