The team of Miss Zhou Yujing, Miss Xiao Lingran, Mr. Wan Ho Ching and Mr. Choi Lai Yun, (three second-year-undergraduates and one third-year-undergraduate majoring in Energy Science and Engineering) won Second Prize in “Technology Innovation” at the 11th Competition of National University Student Social Practice and Science Contest on Energy Saving & Emission Reduction held on 9 August 2018.
Dr. Sam Hsu’s review paper titled "A Review on morphology engineering for highly efficient and stable hybrid perovskite solar cells" is highlighted as a Hot Article and recently featured in the top 5% of most read articles in "Journal of Materials Chemistry A".
Congratulations to our final-year undergraduate student, Miss Nicole TUNG Hiu-ching, who has won the Merit Prize of Outstanding Electrical Power and Energy Engineering Student Award 2018 organized by Power and Energy Section (PES) of The Institution of Engineering and Technology Hong Kong (IET).
Dr. Patrick Lee and Dr. Carol Lin Sze-ki (Associate Professors in SEE) were two of the three recipients of the BESS Achievement Awards in the Bioenergy and Biorefinery Conference organised by the BioEnergy Society of Singapore (BESS) held in National University of Singapore on May 16-18, 2018.
37 students joined a field trip to visit the Shatin Racecourse on a Saturday morning, not for horse racing nor gambling, but to see their energy saving system.
Engineered nanomaterials are being exploited for applications in numerous fields including medicine, consumer electronics, and many others. While these materials are engineered with function and cost in mind, there is no consideration of long-term environmental impacts associated with them early in the design process.
Pollutant concentrations are halved by about 17 m from the road edge! So is the latest finding by Prof. Peter Brimblecombe and his group. The pollutant gradient can be described using an analytical dispersion equation that allows for dispersion along the wind direction.
Hong Kong is one of the most populous cities in the world with a density of 130,000 people per square kilometre, generating more than 6 million tons of trash per year. Waste management is particularly difficult due to the geography of the archipelago which, like other island regions, lacks space.
