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.
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.
Congratulations to Prof. Alicia An, Associate Professor of the School of Energy and Environment (SEE), who has been conferred the CityU Outstanding Research Award for 2023 in the Junior Faculty category in recognition of her outstanding research, development, and knowledge transfer achievements.
The School of Energy and Environment (SEE) at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has been awarded substantial funding from the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC), totaling HK$6.6 Million, for two pioneering projects led by our esteemed faculty members.
We are delighted to announce that Prof. Zhiguo Yuan, Chair Professor of Urban Water Management of the School of Energy and Environment (SEE), City University of Hong Kong (CityU), has been awarded the prestigious "Global STEM Professorship" by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
We are proud to announce that Professor Wei WU, Associate Professor of School of Energy and Environment, has been awarded the Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Hong Kong and Macau) by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) [2023年度國家自然科學基金優秀青年科學基金項目 (港澳)] for 2023.
The Excellent Young Scientists Fund is highly competitive and is granted annually to support young scientists with outstanding achievements in basic research to conduct innovative research in their areas of interest and expertise.
At the 15th Global Chinese Chemical Engineering Symposium held last week in Hong Kong, Prof. Xue Wang, Assistant Professor, School of Energy and Environment, won the Award of Future Chemical Engineering Scholar (2023).
