Faculty of Engineering, HKU

Professor George Q. Huang and Dr Ngai Wong were awarded in the 12^th round of Theme-based Research Scheme 2022/23 by the Research Grants Council (RGC).

Engineering experts at the University of Hong Kong were inspired by the nastic movement of clover that led them to develop an origami microfluidic device that can respond to changes in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and humidity.

An interdisciplinary research team led by Dr Zhiqin and Dr Yuan Lin has developed a low-cost, highly miniaturized and incubator compatible GaN chipscope, which enables real-time monitoring of cells in the limited and humid space of an incubator.

Professor Yuguo Li, Chair Professor of Building Environment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering was awarded the 14^th Guanghua Engineering Science and Technology Prize by the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

The University of Hong Kong reaped a total of twelve awards at the Special Edition 2022 Inventions Geneva Evaluation Days. Among the twelve awards, engineering academics received 2 Gold Medals and 3 Silver Medals.

From creating the world’s fastest robotic fish on rescue mission, advanced models of electric vehicles to the best walkers for the elderly, the Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing (Innovation Wing) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has been abuzz with exploratory activities by aspiring students.

Even before the holding of the Climate Summit in November 2021, sustainable energy had long been a buzz word, attracting huge attention worldwide. At HKU, sustainable energy engineering is among the two major streams of the environmental research cluster, with the other stream being water environmental engineering.

A Ceremony was held on December 28 , 2021 to mark the opening of the Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing Two, an important new facility under the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Hong Kong.

Many are no stranger to the concept of big data in today’s world. But few may be aware of the diverse job opportunities and burgeoning demand for data scientists and engineers.
