A group of students from the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) recently brought theory into action by conducting evidence-based research in Lai Chi Wo, a historic rural village in Hong Kong’s northeastern New Territories. As part of the SEE3001 (Energy and Environmental Policy) course, students formed five task forces to explore key sustainability challenges facing the village.
Since 2018, the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) at CityUHK has partnered with CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLP Power) to provide undergraduate students with practical training in energy audits. Now in its seventh year, this longstanding collaboration continues to deliver valuable hands-on experience in energy engineering.
Our Dean, Professor Kenneth Leung, JP, along with Professor Fatwa Abdi, Professor Theodora Nah, and Professor Edwin Tso, visited three top universities in Indonesia from 18 to 22 February 2025. The purpose of the visit was to recruit top students for our PhD programme through the Diversity/Fast Track Programme of the Chow Yei Ching School of Graduate Studies (SGS).
Initiated by our Dean, Prof. Kenneth Leung, the Sustainable Energy and Environmental Discovery for Students (SEEDS) Mentorship Programme was successfully launched at the School of Energy and Environment (SEE), City University of Hong Kong, on 12 February 2025.
Under the supervision of Prof. WU Wei, postdoc Dr. DING Zhixiong and PhD student Mr. LI Fuxiang from the School of Energy and Environment won the Best Oral Presentation Award at the 2nd International Conference on Energy Engineering (ICEE 2024), held from 29 Nov to 02 Dec 2024. Dr. DING Zhixiong’s presentation was entitled “A Novel Two-stage Energy Storage Heat Transformer with Low Charging Temperature for High-Temperature Lift.” Mr.
We are thrilled to share that PoWater team, led by Ph.D. candidates Haosheng LIN from Professor Wei WU's team and Xinya HAO from Professor Lin ZHANG's team, has secured the first prize in Northeast Asia and the global third prize in the ISETS-UNESCAP Energy Transition Youth Voices Competition.
Under the supervision of Prof. Carol Lin, a postgraduate student at the School of Energy and Environment (SEE), Mr. Zihao Qin, won the Student Best Poster Award in the Global Chinese Environmental Protection Conference 2024 (GCEPC 2024; 2024全球華人環境保護研討會), which was organized by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The conference took place at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on 24 to 27 May, 2024. The theme of GCEPC 2024 is Sustainable Ecological and Environment Development toward Carbon Neutrality (朝向碳中和的可持續生態與環境發展).
Under the supervision of Prof. WU Wei, PhD students from the School of Energy and Environment, SUI Zengguang and his team (LI Fuxiang, LIN Haosheng, and ZENG Weitao), won the First Prize in the 7th China HVACR Innovation Award held on 8 and 9 Aug 2024.
In the summer of 2024, students from the School of Energy and Environment (SEE), City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) participated in an enriching academic exchange program at Jilin University. The program, led by Prof. Xiaoqiang Cui from Jilin University (JLU) and Prof. Sai Kishore Ravi from CityUHK, focused on catalysis and solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Participants attended a series of workshops and lectures, offering deep dives into the latest research and developments in these fields.
In the summer term of 2024, Prof. Sai Kishore Ravi led two field trips for postgraduate students from the School of Energy and Environment (SEE), themed on the Water-Energy Nexus. These trips offered students a chance to explore key operations in Hong Kong’s water sector and understand their energy demands. The students visited the Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant and the Sha Tin Water Treatment Plant, where they observed advanced technologies in action.
