A novel wastewater treatment process to effectively remove health hazardous chemical contaminants

An interdisciplinary team led by Department of Civil Engineering has developed a wastewater treatment system that prevents conventional pollutants from being discharged into the environment.
Significant breakthrough in neuroimaging with novel high-speed microscope to capture brain neuroactivities

A research team led by Dr Kevin Tsia, Associate Professor of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Programme Director of Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering and Professor Ji Na, from the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley offers 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.
Novel 3D imaging technology to make fluorescence microscopy more efficient and push the boundaries of living cells research

Scientists have been using fluorescence microscopy to study the inner workings of biological cells and organisms for decades. However, many of these platforms are often too slow to follow the biological action in 3D; and too damaging to the living biological specimens with strong light illumination. To address these challenges, a research team led by Dr Kevin Tsia, Associate Professor of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Programme Director of Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering, developed a new optical imaging technology - Coded Light-sheet Array Microscopy (CLAM) – which can perform 3D imaging at high speed, and is power efficient and gentle to preserve the living specimens during scanning at a level that is not achieved by existing technologies.
Strategic public policy research on MiC supply chain in the Greater Bay Area for HK development

Led by Dr Wei Pan of the Department of Civil Engineering, a multidisciplinary team has been awarded over HK$4 million in Strategic Public Policy Research funding to enhance the Modular Integrated Construction supply chain in the Greater Bay Area.
Turning ideas into business

Project Lumino, a cost-efficient one-stop solution to the barrier-free movement for the visually impaired, has been selected by the Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Programme of Hong Kong Science and Technology Park.
Virtual admissions talks for promoting undergraduate studies at HKU Engineering

Aiming at giving more information to the local and non-local applicants, the Faculty has been organising a series of virtual talk to promote undergraduate studies since March, 2020. The talks were focused on different aspects, including “Innovating a Better Future”, “Engineering Across the Fields and Over the Seas” and “An Exceptional Engineering Study Experience”. Besides, members of the Engineering Admissions Committee were invited to join the Q&A sessions and answered questions from the potential students.
