Prof. Lin Zhang has received the Outstanding Paper Award for his co-authored paper titled “High carbon path dependence, low carbon expectation, and green transition of technological paradigm” in the national competition of the China Society of Industrial Economics, a national level association administered by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Congratulations to Prof. Alex K Y Jen, Prof. Yun Hau Ng and Prof. Lin Zhang from our School of Energy and Environment on securing highly prestigious research grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)/Research Grants Council (RGC) Collaborative Research Scheme and Joint Research Scheme.
The three projects awarded are:
Prof. Edwin Tso, Associate Professor of the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) and our PhD alum, Dr. Martin Zhu were interviewed by HOY TV regarding their development of passive radiative cooling paint (PRCP) for building applications. The interview was broadcast on Channel 78 HOY Infotainment on 18th November 2023.
Congratulations to Prof. Alex Jen, Prof. Yun Hau Ng, Prof. Angus Yip and Prof. Zhiguo Yuan for being listed as Highly Cited Researchers 2023 by Clarivate.
On 8 and 10 November 2023, the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) Student Chapter, led by Prof. Edwin TSO, organized a visit to O·PARK1.
