A Synergistic Partnership between Academia and Industry

The University of Hong Kong – Standard Chartered Hong Kong 150^th Anniversary Community Foundation FinTech Academy (HKU-SCF FinTech Academy) is established to steer FinTech development and groom world-class talents.

Ultrastrong steel: A big step closer to industrialising

The Super Steel project led by Professor Huang Mingxin at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, with collaborators at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), has made important breakthrough in its new super D&P steel (produced using a new deformed and partitioned method) to greatly enhance its fracture resistance while maintaining super strong in strength for advanced industrial applications.

A novel high-speed microscope to capture brain neuroactivities

Dr Kevin Tsia (Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering) and his collaborators at UC Berkeley offer a novel solution with their super high-speed microscope - two-photon fluorescence microscope, which has successfully recorded the millisecond electrical signals in the neurons of an alert mouse.

Clarivate Analytics’ list of Highly Cited Researchers of 2019

Professor Zhang Tong of the Department of Civil Engineering, Professor Yiu Siu-ming of the Department of Computer Science, Dr Kaibin Huang of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Professor James Lam and Professor Dennis Leung of the Department of Mechanical Engineering are on the list.

Outstanding young researchers for the Asia Pacific Region

Congratulations to Dr Guo Hao (Civil Engineering), Dr Guo Ziyan (Mechanical Engineering) and Dr Luo Ping (Computer Science) for being named "Innovators under 35" for Asia Pacific by MIT Technology Review.

Advancing the virtual world

Even before the notion of augmented reality became popular, engineering savvy Dr Henry Lau Ying-Kei of the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems had spent years researching the creation of virtual worlds. He is driven to continue his exploratory journey, knowing that much more await to be developed in the realm of VR and AI.

Big attempts at micro level

While many regard studying samples under the lens of a microscope as a routine for scientists, new tools have emerged for researchers to carry out their work. A Professor in Mechanical Engineering, Professor Anderson Shum Ho-cheung conducts experiments by manipulating fluids microscopically, in what is known as microfluidics.

Finding causes and effects

A pioneering researcher in quantum information science, computer science Professor Giulio Chiribella at the Department of Computer Science opened the door to an exciting new development in the realm of artificial intelligence.

Asian Engineering Deans’ Summit 2020

The Faculty will be hosting the Asian Engineering Dean’ Summit (AEDS) 2020 in May 2021, inviting education leaders and engineering deans in Asian-Pacific cities to share best practices in education for addressing changing demands of the society.
