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.
On 8 and 10 November 2023, the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) Student Chapter, led by Prof. Edwin TSO, organized a visit to O·PARK1. The engineers at O·PARK1 provided us with an insightful introduction to the advanced techniques employed in the recovery process of organic resources. This visit allowed students to witness firsthand the practical implementation of the Hong Kong government’s sustainable waste management and recycling initiatives.
Prof. Alicia AN’s group published a research paper entitled “Nano-confined Supramolecular Assembly of Ultrathin Crystalline Polymer Membranes for High-Performance Nanofiltration” in Advanced Functional Materials Journal (IF 19). A new approach of nano-confined supramolecular assembly to fabricate ultrathin crystalline polymer membranes with a modulus of 1 GPa and a thickness of 6.5 nm is reported.
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”.
