Faculty of Engineering, HKU

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 212^th Congregation - Faculty of Engineering was held on July 24, 2024 for undergraduates, research postgraduates and taught postgraduates at the Grand Hall, Lee Shau Kee Lecture Centre of the University of Hong Kong.

The first ever HKU Engineering Alumni High Table Dinner, co-organised by HKU Faculty of Engineering and H.K.U. Engineering Alumni Association (HKUEAA), will be held on September 30, 2024 (Monday) at the iconic Loke Yew Hall 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.

Seven distinguished Engineering scholars have been named by the international academic website Research.com among the top 100 best scholars nationally in their respective disciplines in 2024.

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.

Little Bluebridge Foundation recently donated HK$15 million to HINCare to further develop and enhance volunteering services. HINCare is a project developed by Professor Reynold C.K. Cheng from the Department of Computer Science. It is a state-of-the-art platform which uses AI technologies to support volunteering among multiple NGOs and charity organisations.

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!
