令寬頻快令寬頻快 88 倍 中大生首奪美科研獎 研究倍 中大生首奪美科研獎 研究心得心得﹕﹕不盡信教授所言（ 不盡信教授所言（ 7-9-2005)7-9-2005)
【明報專訊】研究講求不斷嘗試，屢敗屢戰，要抱有求真之心及懷疑態度才能成功。中大電子工程學系博士生霍美寶，就是抱「不盡信教授所言」的批判精神進行研究，花近兩年時間，成功提升光纖輸送資料技術，若將技術用於寬頻，傳送速度可較現時加快 8 倍。研究成果令她成為首位奪得「美國電機及電子工程師學會優秀研究生獎」的香港人。
破傳送限制 增畫面解像度
霍美寶得獎的研究，成功研發出一個激光光源同時發出多個波場的技術，打破目前一般光纖每秒傳送 100億個數碼信號的速度限制，將傳送資料速度提升 8 倍。她介紹，技術可加快寬頻傳送影像的速度，令畫面的解像度更高。中大電子工程學系教授許正德表示，正待加強技術的穩定性，改良後便可將研究商品化推出市場。
小時不玩 Barbie 玩玩具車
年僅 26 歲的美寶，自小醉心於電子產品，「我小時候沒有玩 Barbie 公仔，我玩車，又整電筒。」提及研究心得，她認為教授給的意見未必一定正確，討論過程中會提出自己的看法，要「有耐性，不服輸」。
「失敗乃成功之母」這句話雖然老套，但美寶卻視它為研究的金科玉律。她說﹕「你失敗得愈多，就會學得愈多，因為當你成功的時候，未必會花時間去細看箇中的事物，但失敗時就會特別用心去找資料，嘗試解決問題。」這種對失敗的體會，其實正正來自當天的挫折。「提交論文後，別人的回應卻十分負面，指我未有顧及很多問題，手持那份評語時，那種挫敗感比起我不能完成實驗時更加沉重」。
帶領美寶研究的許正德教授，讚賞她對研究「認真、執著及追求完美」的態度，美寶不會盡信教授的觀點，而自行找很多資料，看看其他人的做法和想法，許正德說﹕「美寶的獨特之處，是會用不同角度去看同一件事」。許教授笑稱，指導美寶做研究一點也不容易。
