Biography

Prof. Henry Duh is the Associate Dean (Global & Industry Engagement), Director of HK PolyU Research Centre for Cultural and Art Technology, Director of HK PolyU Creative Technology Research Centre (Beijing), Director of HK PolyU-NVIDIA Joint Research Centre, and Full Professor in School of Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His training is multidisciplinary and multicultural. He received his degrees in Psychology, Industrial Design and Engineering respectively and did his postdoctoral training at NASA-Johnson Space Centre involved in the virtual reality training project.

He was Co-Director of Keio-NUS CUTE Centre (a joint research centre between National University of Singapore (NUS) and Keio University, Japan), Director of Human Interface Technology Lab Australia (a joint research centre between University of Tasmania and University of Washington), Head of Discipline Computing Information System at University of Tasmania, Head of Department Computer Science & IT at La Trobe University and a faculty member in Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore, visiting professor in the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University, adjunct professor in the Graduate Institute of Journalism at National Taiwan University.

Prof. Duh’s research is uncovering human behaviours in emerging media, particularly for the issues of designing human-centric augmented and virtual reality system in the areas of interaction design, augmented reality, and human-computer interaction. He has attracted millions of dollars funding as principal investigator from government agencies including National Research Foundation Singapore; Ministry of Education Singapore; Australian Research Council; State government of Tasmania; Cultural, Sports, Tourism Bureau HKSAR government (香港特區政府文體旅局); China National Arts Fund (國家藝術基金), National Science Foundation China(國家自然科學基金).

He also actively engages with local communities and strongly commits industry engagement. He was a Board Director of Tourism Northern Tasmania, a member of Australian Council of Deans of Information and Communication Technology, CSIRO/ Data61 University Planning Committee, and Academic Advisor of Microsoft Learn for Educators Institution Program. He collaborated with leading ICT companies such as CISCO, Oracle and Microsoft, Tencent to co-design the curriculums and offer job ready skills to students. 

Prof. Duh is a FAA certified Advanced Ground Instructor and Private Pilot.
