Congratulations to Prof. Raymond WONG Wai-yeung, Dean of Faculty of Science, Clarea Au Professor in Energy and Chair Professor of Chemical Technology, on his election as a new member of The Hong Kong Academy of Sciences (ASHK).
Prof. Wong is a distinguished scholar in the field of advanced materials and energy science. His research focuses on the design and synthesis of molecular functional materials and one and two dimensional metallopolymers with photofunctional properties and energy applications. His team is committed to transforming cutting-edge chemistry research into meaningful solutions for sustainable energy.
Prof. Wong is currently Associate Director of the Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Research Institute for Smart Energy (RISE), Member of the Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development (RISUD), the Research Institute for Intelligent Wearable Systems (RI-IWEAR) and the Research Institute for Sports Science and Technology (RISports).
In his previous research in RISports, Highly Efficient Fiber-Based Organic Light-Emitting Diodes for Full-Color Textile Displays, the team focuses on establishing foundation to further explore the highly efficient luminescent materials with excellent optical and electronic properties, and will also provide new guidelines to develop high-performance fiber-based OLEDs for the realization of full-color textile displays to improve the safety and versatility of wearable smart sportswear. It will bring remarkable social impacts and benefits including the application in the sportswear, compatibility with textile fibers, information visualization, and durability in mechanical movements.
