The research philosophies of our faculty members from diverse backgrounds

“The sustainability big picture is certainly really, really big. But I just try to do what I can and what I’m good at. If I can contribute a little bit, then I’m proud of this.” - Prof. SHAO Minhua

“As an educator in Hong Kong, I wish to give back to this city. I aspire to apply my expertise in the local environment to establish the city as an AI hub and a global leader in supply chains.” – Prof. ZHANG Jiheng

“The joy of doing research is that you have the freedom to decide what problems to solve and how you can contribute to society.” - Prof. Irene LO

“As biomedical scientists, it is simply amazing that what we design and implement could be a game changer in a healthcare system, saving human lives.” - Prof. Terence WONG

“I hope more women will consider engineering as a career to change the status quo and to say, ‘I can do it too.’ ” - Prof. Angela WU

“While 5G connects things now, 6G will represent a revolutionary leap and create a huge impact on the transformation of wireless and vertical industries by connecting intelligence and supporting the ubiquitous AI in the next decade.” - Prof. Khaled BEN LETAIEF

“Our transition to a robotics-aided world has been so gradual but seamless that we may soon forget what life was even like before automation.” - Prof. LI Zexiang

“AI is like a fast-running car. Data is like engine oil. Once the engine oil is refined into gas, we can propel this car to accomplish meaningful missions.” - Prof. YANG Qiang

“We are naturally very excited about setting a world record. This is the first step in our research on capturing and analyzing giant photographs and videos.” - Prof. Pedro SANDER

“When I Skype with my grandchildren on my cellphone, I enjoy seeing their most beautiful faces - on an OLED screen.” - Prof. TANG Ching-Wan, inventor of OLED

Strategic Research Areas

Strategic research areas are essentially where the amalgamation of knowledge, know-how and insights of different engineering disciplines takes place. The ultimate goal for such cross-disciplinary exchanges is to venture into the unknown, tackle the seemingly impossible, create many more “firsts” and invent out-of-the-box solutions. By virtue of these interactions, we can also expect a continuous emergence of new engineering domains in the future, and any collaboration between them may in turn push back the frontiers even further. A wonderful cycle of invention and reinvention, is therefore made possible via research work that strategically combines the wisdom of different engineering disciplines.
