The collaborative work of the PolyU Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) with the Beijing Institute of Technology and Tianjin University, entitled “Inverse Design Methods and Applications of Acoustic Metamaterials,” was awarded one of the “2024 China's Top Ten Advances in Metamaterials (Technological Innovation)” during the opening ceremony of the 4th China Metamaterials Conference (CMMC 2025), held in Shenzhen from May 15-18, 2025. This achievement is the result of long-term collaborations among the three institutions.
The primary awardee, Dr Dong Haowen, Associate Professor in the Beijing Institute of Technology, worked in ME as a Hong Kong Scholar with Prof. Cheng Li, Chair Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In addition to significantly advancing the existing state-of-the-art, their research outcomes have been successfully applied in industry, particularly in home appliance products, through a long-term collaboration that ME’s acoustic group has established with Midea Company.
Furthermore, their co-authored paper, titled “Achromatic Metasurfaces by Dispersion Customization for Ultra-broadband Acoustic Beam Engineering,” was also recognized as one of the best papers published in National Science Review in 2024.
The China Metamaterials Conference is a prominent event that attracts leading scientists, engineers, and industry experts from the region and beyond to explore cutting-edge developments in metamaterials and their applications in energy, communications, and advanced manufacturing.
