Biography

BEng; PhD (HK PolyU) ; CEng (MHKIE), MIOA, MHKIOA

 

Short Description

 
Dr. Choy obtained her BEng degree with first class honour at the Department of Building Services Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. After her graduation, she worked as an assistant engineer and engineer for nearly three years in Associated Consulting Engineers Limited which was one of the top three leading building services provider in Hong Kong. She then received her Doctor of Philosophy at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2003. Thereafter, she was employed as a research assistant and research associate at the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2003 and 2004 respectively and conducted the research of aeroacoustics. She then worked as a Lecturer in the Hong Kong Institution of Vocational Education, Tsing Yi in 2006. Dr. Choy joined The Hong Kong Polytechnic University again in 2007 and is serving as an Assistant Professor. She has conducted various research and consultancy projects in duct noise control, fan noise, building acoustics and environmental noise investigations. She is also a member of Institute of Acoustics and is serving as a reviewer for Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.
