Four PolyU young scientists awarded China's Excellent Young Scientists Fund

Four young scientists at PolyU have been awarded the 2020 Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Hong Kong and Macau) recently, a funding provided exclusively to Hong Kong and Macau scientists since last year under the National Natural Science Foundation of China. 25 young scientists (male below 38 and female below 40 years old) from Hong Kong and Macau in total are awarded the fund annually. In this year, seven, five and two scientists at the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and City University of Hong Kong respectively were also chosen alongside with the four PolyU scientists. Each awardee will receive a funding of RMB1.2 million for a maximum period of three years, in the form of cross-border remittance to directly support researchers’ work in Hong Kong.   The projects of the four PolyU scientists include sequential remote-sensing, flow and heat/mass transfer in electrochemical energy systems, unsaturated soils and problematic soils, and battery-free internet of things. A spokesperson of PolyU said it was encouraging to see young scientists were supported by the Nation, which not only reflects the Nation’s substantial support to Hong Kong’s scientific research, but also encourages local young scientists to pursue excellence in basic research and research in cutting-edge technologies.

Our international students have something to share

Our international students have something to share:      LIANG Jalynna Jiajing, Canada "Studying civil engineering is full of obstacles but it will be less tension when study in PolyU. All lecturers are willing to help students and patient to answer every questions. We also have excellent industrial center instructors to guide us operate the devices and learn the theories that we study in the classroom. We have a gorgeous building which meets all the required learning conditions. Civil Engineering is a hard subject but it not that hard to learn when we meet CEE team in PolyU."   KASSEN Shynggys, Kazakhstan "PolyU has all equipment for students to understand the theories and concepts of civil and environmental engineering.  Their colleagues will find the best way to explain them to you, even the most complicated one."   ADIPUTRA Rama, Indonesia "At CEE of PolyU, students are provided with well-equipped laboratory facilities, where they can apply concepts and theories in real construction problems." KENZHEGUL Moldir, Kazakhstan LIM Jewel Xin Wei, Malaysia "I had my first online learning experience during the second semester of my first year in PolyU. It was definitely a whole new experience, especially having the experience to eat your breakfast while attending the lecture.  There is one thing that I’m particularly thankful for staying in Malaysia during this online learning semester is there is no difference between Malaysia and Hong Kong’s time zones !"   RIFKY Ahamed Azem, Sri Lanka "The library is where I always go to between lessons to study, relax my mind or hangout with people at lib café.

Congratulations to Prof Hai Guo

Congratulations to Prof. Hai Guo in CEE on getting the FAST Faculty Award 2019/2020 The COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak ultimately designated a pandemic status and led to an unprecedented global demand and chronic shortage of disposable face masks. To provide an alternative to disposable face masks, Prof. Hai Guo’s team in CEE cooperated with a team from the Institute of Textiles and Clothing (ITC) to develop an effective antiviral, washable and reusable face mask, namely PU30. The project won the Faculty of Applied Science & Textiles (FAST) Faculty Awards 2019/20 (Team Award). https://www.polyu.edu.hk/fast/en/news-events/awards-and-achievements/index_id_83.html
