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.
Prof. Edwin TSO’s group published a review paper entitled “Perovskite Smart Windows: The Light Manipulator in Energy-Efficient Buildings” in Advanced Materials (IF 29.4).
A groundbreaking research outcome by using a porous ceramic design for efficient passive radiative cooling has been published in the latest issue of Science, a highly esteemed and renowned research journal in scientific community. The research article is titled “Hierarchically Structured Passive Radiative Cooling Ceramic with High Solar Reflectivity”. Prof. Edwin Chi-Yan TSO, an Associate Professor of the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) at CityU and the first corresponding author of the paper, highlights that this advanced material (cooling ceramic) offers a brand-new solution for impl
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’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.
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.
The recent SEE Colloquium on Hong Kong's Journey to Become an International Innovation and Technology Hub, held on October 6 2023, featured Prof. SIT Wing-hang Alfred, GBS, JP, as the esteemed speaker. During the colloquium, Prof. SIT discussed Hong Kong's potential in the field of innovation and technology, highlighting its advantages and the government's initiatives to support its growth, as well as the future prospects.
