Faculty of Engineering, HKU

Dr Wilton Fok of Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and his research team developed an AI anomalies detection technology which provided timely alerts for rescue efforts and help prevent accidents.

Many do not discover their passion until late in life, but Dr Wenjun Cao, Assistant Professor of Department of Civil Engineering, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), found her own calling while still a high school student.

A research team led by Dr Lizhi Xu of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has recently developed a new type of electroconductive hydrogels with outstanding mechanical strength and manufacturability, creating opportunities for the engineering of various bioelectronic devices.

The University of Hong Kong triumphed at the 48^th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, winning a total of 19 awards. Among the awards, engineering academics received 2 Grand Prizes, 4 Gold Medals, 1 Silver Medal and 2 Bronze Medals.

Developing state-of-the-art animation/simulation techniques has been the dedicated pursuit of Professor Taku Komura whose research career took him to both the UK and Hong Kong.

Dr Chao Xiang of Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering was named Pioneer in 35 Innovators Under 35 for China by MIT Technology Review.

A research team led by Dr Lizhi Xu of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has developed a new type of tendon-mimetic hydrogels with outstanding mechanical properties matching those of natural tendons combined with multifunctionalities for biomedical applications.

A new generation of lithium-ion batteries developed by a team led by Dr Dong-Myeong Shin of the Department of Mechanical Engineering paves the way for a workable solution. The team has discovered a series of anionic network solid electrolytes that can form an integral part of the new battery, which is safer, higher in power density and has a longer life cycle.

The team led by Professor Anderson H.C. Shum of the Department of Mechanical Engineering has accomplished a key breakthrough in fluid dynamics, by developing a three-dimensional Marangoni transport system in an aqueous two-phase system.

Digitization is the theme of second exhibition. Thirteen cutting-edge engineering research projects led by Researchers in our Faculty are exhibited physically in the Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing Two and virtually on the Metaverse. Free admission. Welcome to visit!
