An undergraduate Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management student team won the Champion Award at the HKIE-MI Student Project Competition 2012/13. Siheng Ji, Yik Hang Pang and Yi Zhang’s project was entitled “A Toys“R”Us Project to Design the Next Generation Toys”. Their final design of the toy “Uncatchable Ball” was considered innovative and viable by the judging panel, which comprised six senior members of the Manufacturing and Industrial Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE-MI). The panel also highly commended the clarity and fluency of the students’ presentations and their hard work. A Civil and Environmental Engineering postgraduate team, comprising MPhil students Chun Hang Leung (team leader) and Chaoyi Wang and PhD students Cong Lu and Pengfei Wang, won First Prize in the Introducing and Demonstrating Earthquake Engineering Research in Schools (IDEERS) competition, held at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering, Taipei, in September 2013. The team was triumphant in the Postgraduate Division and also won the Best Presentation Award Third Prize. A total of 17 postgraduate and more than 40 undergraduate student teams from all around the world took part in the competition. PhD student Tao Lu, Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management, won the Student Paper Award at the 2013 International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems (LOGMS) in Singapore. His paper, “Putting All Shipments in One Vessel? Carrier Portfolio Management in Liner Shipping”, was the only one selected for the award. Tao’s analysis revealed the twosided benefits of using multiple carriers and suggested that in practice it is good enough for the shipper to select two particular carriers according to simple criteria. Undergraduate Henry Man Hang Wong, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, received “The Engineering Staff Award – Innovation Award” from Cathay Pacific Airways while working as an engineering intern at the airline’s Technical Service Engineering Department. The award honors staff who have implemented an innovative new idea that makes a difference to what they or others do at the company. Henry developed a quick reference program for fuel measurement, which substantially shortens the fuel measurement time. PhD student Tsz Nok Ng, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, won the Best Poster Award at the 3rd Asia-Pacific Chemical and Biological Microfluidics Conferences (APCBM), held in Korea in August 2013. Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) PhD student Zhikai Tang received the Best Student Paper Award at the 2013 CS ManTech (Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology) Conference in New Orleans, US. His paper was entitled “600 V HighPerformance AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with AlN/ SiNx Passivation” and was co-authored by ECE PhD students Qimeng Jiang, Cheng Liu and Shenghou Liu, Prof Kevin Chen, and former postdoctoral fellow Dr Sen Huang.
