Faculty of Engineering, HKU

Wearable biosensor is a fast-rising field in biomedical engineering research, which has the potential to realise digital healthcare and AI medicine. A research team led by Professor Shiming Zhang has introduced a groundbreaking wearable in-sensor computing platform.

Prof Nigel Brandon, Imperial College London, will give a lecture on 12 November 2024 (Tuesday) at Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing Two, G/F Run Run Shaw Building, HKU, titled “From Bench to Business: Innovations in Electrochemical technology for the Low Carbon Energy Transition”

Prof Michael Wagner of the University of Vienna, Austria will give a lecture on 13 November 2024 (Wednesday) at Lecture Theatre A, G/F, Chow Yei Ching Building (CB-A), HKU, titled " Seeing is understanding: Next generation chemical imaging for super-fast functional analyses of microbiomes"

We are thrilled to announce the success of the first-ever “HKU Engineering Alumni High Table Dinner" co-organised with the H.K.U. Engineering Alumni Association (HKUEAA) on September 30, 2024 (Monday) at the iconic Loke Yew Hall! Around 300 esteemed alumni, including retired professors, current students, and Faculty members, gathered for this special occasion

From 2 September 2024, the Faculty Office will roll-out an UG eForm system for the processing of Undergraduate-related application forms online.

For and beyond the manufacturing, construction, and textile and apparel industries, the use of big data is set to usher in revolutionary changes. And Ray Zhong, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, has been at the forefront of accelerating that process.

Congratulations to Professor Ron S.Y. Hui from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering for being awarded in the Theme-based Research Scheme for 2024/25 with a total funding of over HK$52 million.

The 213^th Congregation - Faculty of Engineering is scheduled for December 3, 2024 for undergraduates, research postgraduates and taught postgraduates at the Grand Hall, Lee Shau Kee Lecture Centre of the University of Hong Kong.

As the world grapples with existential threats posed by climate change, the research team led by Professor Ron Hui, the Chair Professor of Power Electronics and Philip Wong Wilson Wong Professor in Electrical Engineering, is spearheading efforts to accelerate cleaner, more robust power generation.

Led by Professor Ed X. Wu, Lam Woo and Chair Professor of Biomedical Engineering, a research team from Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at HKU has developed a whole-body MRI scanner that operates on a standard wall power outlet without radiofrequency or magnetic shielding cages.

An Engineering research team led by Professor Yue Chen from the Department of Mechanical Engineering has achieved a remarkable milestone in the realm of thermal transport in crystals. The research highlights the potential of simple crystal structures to achieve low thermal conductivity.

Given her computer science background, Professor Chuan Wu decided to leverage her expertise and knowledge to create a device, The Smart Robotic Walker, that could help the elderly move around safely and easily. It combines AI with a home-friendly design, creating a cosy companion for seniors to stay healthy, active, and independent.

“Innovation for Impacts” is the theme of the fourth exhibition. Ten 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!
