• KUO Way
• LI Hanxiong
• LI Lishuai
• LUO Jianxi
• NGAN Shing Chung Sherman
• SUN Hongyi
• TU King Ning
• YANG Yong

This achievement underscores the impact of their work and the strong reputation of our faculty in the global academic community.

In a significant advancement in solar energy technology, a team of researchers at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has developed a groundbreaking living passivator that substantially enhances the stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells.

Miss Cao Yiyin, an SYE PhD student, was invited to give a research seminar at the Cambridge Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge. Miss Cao’s seminar is titled “A Characterisation of Nash Equilibrium in Behavioural Strategies Through Local Sequential Rationality and Self-Independent Beliefs”  .

This workshop provides a platform for research and industrial community interest on system-level problems and applications. The workshop will invite top researchers to discuss all aspects of systems engineering, systems architecture, etc. This event comprises 2 days of presentations (research or tutorials), panel discussions.

Congratulations to Dr. Sun Hongyi on receiving a first-class award from the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Alliance of China (IEEAC) for his intellectual teaching model which is designed to stimulate creativity and innovation by means of Chinese wisdom and fostering entrepreneurship with Western scientific methodology.

Congratulations to Prof. XIE Min on being elected as a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in recognition of his distinctive achievements and contributions to science and society.

According to a recent study by Stanford University, six SEEM faculty members were among the top 2% of most highly-cited scientists of the world, reflecting the high academic standard of our faculty and our excellent research performance. The six SEEM faculty members include Professor Way Kuo (President and University Distinguished Professor), Professor Chuangyin Dang (Acting Head and Professor), Dr. Kwai-sang Chin (Associate Head and Associate Professor), Professor Min Xie (Chair Professor), Professor Han-xiong Li (Professor), and Dr. Peter W. Tse (Associate Professor).

The Stanford-listed scholars have demonstrated substantial influence in various disciplines through the publication of multiple highly cited papers ranked according to citation impact from 1996 to 2019. Disciplinary differences in terms of citation norms are taken care of since the list identifies the top 2% of scientists in their own areas of specialty.

We are pleased to announce that our master’s degree programme, MSc in Engineering Management, has been selected for sponsorship under the Targeted Taught Postgraduate Programmes Fellowships Scheme by the University Grants Committee of the Hong Kong government. The award recognizes our programme’s contributions to sustainable city and regional development. Eligible local students admitted to the programme in the 2021/2022 academic year will receive a subsidy up to HK$120,000.
