Big data on elderly services with “HINCare” - a service-matching app for elderly people

Professor Reynold Cheng and his team in the Department of Computer Science have developed a new system, namely “HINCare” (Heterogeneous Information Network for Elderly-Care Helper Recommendation), which helps to manage the workload and logistics. What’s more, it can store useful statistics and help NGOs formulate long-term strategy and identify needs of elderly people through data analytics. By matching service requests with volunteers in the community intelligently, the system stretches elderly people’s potential in serving the community and helps them develop mutual help and support networks. It also facilitates the development and expansion of Time Bank community projects.
A breakthrough in developing staggered structure monolayer organic field effect transistors

Dr Paddy K.L. Chan, Associate Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and his team have successfully developed staggered structure monolayer organic field effect transistors (OFETs) with a record low width normalized contact resistance down to 40 W-cm. This low contact resistance achievement is a critical cornerstone to miniaturize the OFETs for the advanced applications. The team has recently published this development in Advanced Materials.
