BEEE Hosted Successful Seminar on 3D Printing and Biofabrication for Healthcare and Sustainability

The Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University successfully hosted a BEEE Seminar on 3D Printing and Biofabrication for Healthcare and Sustainability on April 3, 2023. This was the first BEEE seminar held after all COVID-related social-distancing measures in Hong Kong that impacted our campus operations have now been removed. The seminar was informative and thought-provoking and was attended by academic staff, students, and members of the public.

The seminar featured a presentation by Prof. Yan Yan Shery Huang, Professor of Bioengineering, leading the Biointerface Group at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. Prof. Huang discussed her group's recent work on 3D printing and biofabrication for Soft/ Green/ Bio & Living materials at different length scales, which can be intertwined with sensing elements. She also discussed how these technologies can be applied in healthcare, and how fibre printing can underpin future eco-friendly sensor fabrication with implications for environmental sensing.

Prof. Huang's presentation was informative and engaging, and the attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions. The seminar provided valuable insights into the latest developments in 3D printing and biofabrication, and how these technologies can be applied to improve healthcare and sustainability.

BEEE invites all members of the public to attend its upcoming events and seminars, which are aimed at providing valuable insights and knowledge on the latest developments in building service engineering and related fields.
