Congratulations to Mr. Zihao QIN, PhD student of Prof. Carol LIN, Associate Professor, School of Energy and Environment (SEE), for receiving the Best Oral Presentation Award in the 8th International Conference on Biomass Energy 2023 with his presentation titled “Economic analysis and environmental assessment of an integrated food waste biorefinery for the co-production of bio-based rigid polyurethane foam and other value-added products”.
Prof. Alicia An and her start-up company, SSA Coating, presented their "Application of Advanced Photocatalytic Material for Effective Air Cleaning and Water Purification" project during InnoCarnival 2023 at HKSTP. InnoCarnival is an annual flagship event organized by the Innovation & Technology Commission (ITC) that focuses on showcasing the latest developments and achievements in innovation and technology in Hong Kong, with a specific emphasis on GreenTech this year.
Prof. Alicia An’s group published a review paper entitled "Advancements in Nano-enabled Membrane Distillation (MD) for a Sustainable Water-Energy-Environment Nexus" in Advanced Materials Journal (IF 29.4). Leveraging on their expertise in engineering advanced MD membranes and system configurations for water and energy applications, in this review, the authors explored the latest breakthroughs in nano-enhanced MD technology.
We are delighted to announce that Prof. Angus Yip, Professor of the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) and Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at CityU, has been honoured with the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) for his outstanding contributions to the field of solution-processed optoelectronic materials and devices.
The "SEE Alumni Homecoming – Mix and Mingle" was successfully held on 14 October 2023. The homecoming event served as a valuable platform for graduates, students, and faculty members to reconnect, expand their networks, and forge meaningful partnerships.
A groundbreaking study utilizing advanced high-resolution supercomputer simulations has been published in the latest issue of Nature Communications. This research, titled “Moisture control of tropical cyclones in high-resolution simulations of paleoclimate and future climate,” sheds light on the global frequency of tropical cyclones. Prof. Jung-Eun CHU, a corresponding author of the paper, emphasizes the study’s findings, which establish a strong coherence between theory, empirical models, and explicit simulations of tropical cyclones.
Prof. Zhiguo Yuan, Chair Professor of Urban Water Management and a Global STEM Professor at the School of Energy and Environment, CityU, has recently published his latest ground-breaking research work in Nature Communications. The paper, titled "Integrated urban water management by coupling iron salt production and application with biogas upgrading", presents an effective technological solution for integrated management of urban water systems, resulting in significant system-wide benefits.
According to metrics compiled by Stanford University and the updated data published on 4 October 2023, twenty-six faculty members of the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) are listed among the top 2% of the world’s most highly cited scientists (i.e., top 2% in the world in their own areas of specialty), that equates to nearly 60% of the School’s entire faculty body. This exciting news reflects our faculty’s high academic standards and excellent research performance. This year’s 26 top 2% scientists from SEE are, in alphabetical order, Prof. Fatwa F.
