This conference will provide a platform for sharing the most recent technological innovations and scientific developments associated with water resources management, water treatment technology, and water/environmental issues, including emerging pollutants, resource recovery, and energy efficiency amid the Covid-19 Pandemic. There will be
Under the supervision of Dr. Edwin Tso, three SEE PhD students, namely, Mr. Martin Zhu, Mr. Johnny Lin, and Miss Kelly Chen participated in the 7th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition cum National & Greater Bay Area Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competitions (HKSAR), organized by Hong Kong New Generation Cultural Association.
Congratulations to Chair Professor Alex Jen, Professor Angus Yip and Associate Professor Yun Hau Ng for being listed as Highly Cited Researchers 2021 by Clarivate.
Dr. Jason Lam, Assistant Professor, was interviewed by TVB Pearl (Pearl Magazine) to share his view on the wood waste and e-waste problems faced in Hong Kong. The interview was broadcast on Channel 84 TVB Pearl on 21st November 2021.
Dr. An’s PhD Student Mr. Bowen Pak Wai Wong received the 1st Student Best Poster Presentation Award by Desalination Editors at the Membrane Desalination 2021 (MEMDES2021), 5th International Conference on Desalination using Membrane Technology, which was held during 14 - 17 November 2021. Mr. Wang presented his PhD study on “Real-time monitoring of membrane wetting progression using impedance spectroscopy”. The paper is now under revision by EST.
Under the supervision from Dr. Denis Yu, a cross-disciplinary team comprising undergraduates from Department of Economics and Finance, and Department of Mechanical Engineering, recently won the HK Tech 300 seed fund for the project regarding development of low-cost rechargeable Zn-MnO2 batteries.
Close to 50 SEE undergraduates, postgraduates, research staff and faculty members formed into a group to join the Eco Expo Asia 2021 on 27 October 2021 at the Hong Kong Exhibitions & Conventions Centre. The group took part in the green building guided tour and learnt a lot more on the latest technologies.
Green hydrogen production from solar water splitting has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years because hydrogen is a fuel of high energy density. A research team led by Dr. Yun Hau Ng, Associate Professor, discovered the quantum confinement effect in a photocatalyst of a 3D-ordered macroporous structure. The quantum confinement effect was found to enable hydrogen production under visible light. The findings offer an option for addressing energy and environmental challenges.
