The Faculty of Engineering proudly celebrated the momentous grand opening of the MSc Student Commons on 11 February 2026, marking an inspiring new milestone in elevating support for taught postgraduate students at HKU Engineering.

A team of scientists led by Academician Professor Xiang Zhang, President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has made a major breakthrough by using a natural magnetic material called CrSBr to achieve negative refraction — without the need for complicated artificial structures.

The pioneering research team, led by Professor Ruibang Luo from the School of Computing and Data Science, Faculty of Engineering have developed two innovative deep-learning algorithms, ClairS-TO and Clair3-RNA, that significantly advance genetic mutation detection in cancer diagnostics and RNA-based genomic studies.

The WISE research group (Wearable, Intelligent, Soft Electronics) led by Professor Shiming Zhang from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering have addressed a long-standing bioelectronic challenge: the development of soft, 3D transistors. This groundbreaking work introduces a new approach to semiconductor device design with transformative potential for bioelectronics, which has been featured as the cover story of Science.

Professor Qi Zhao from the School of Computing and Data Science and his collaborators have made a significant discovery regarding quantum entanglement. This phenomenon, which has long been viewed as a significant obstacle in classical quantum simulations, actually enhances the speed of quantum simulations and acts as a valuable resource.

Grace Tam's profound curiosity about the mechanics of the world led her to pursue mechanical engineering at HKU, fulfilling a dream she held for over a decade. After graduating, she joined CLP, one of Asia’s largest investor-owned power businesses, driven by a passion to address climate challenges and sustainable future.

Cutting-edge engineering research projects led by Professors in the Faculty of Engineering are exhibited in the Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing Two. Free Admissions. Welcome to visit!
