Prof. Philip CHAN Ching-Ho joined the School of Engineering in 1991 as a founding member. He served as Head of the School of Engineering’s Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department from 1995-2002 and Dean of the School from 2003-09. He was Director of the Nanosystem Fabrication Facility from 1997-2003. From 2010-20, he held the positions of Deputy President and Provost at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He became Professor Emeritus in HKUST’s Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering in 2010.

Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) drives computation, energy, information, and communications technologies that are at the core of a vibrant, interconnected global economy. It is the innovation engine behind 5/6G wireless networks, robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), micro-displays for augmented/virtual reality, power systems for electric vehicles and data centers, and artificial intelligence running on integrated circuits fabricated on semiconductor chips, all of which have fundamentally impacted our society. By constantly adapting to an ever-changing world, electronic and computer engineers turn challenges into possibilities.

Hey there! I’m excited to share my journey with you. Growing up as a beach lover, I spent countless summer days swimming, yachting, and surfing. I loved the beach, but I always hated accidentally gulping down salty water! I wondered why seawater was salty and if it could be made tasty to drink. Little did I know, this curiosity would spark my passion for energy and environmental engineering.

Hello, aspiring wizards and witches of technology! If you’ve ever dreamed of casting spells with code or inventing extraordinary devices, let me take you on a journey through the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Whether you’re a curious Muggle or a prospective student, prepare for an adventure filled with excitement and discovery!

HKUST Dean of Engineering Prof. Hong K. LO and his team have developed an award-winning smart traffic control plan to mitigate the notorious congestion in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong. And they have a broader vision to share in this story.

Becoming a leading-edge early career faculty member in smart mobility has proved transformative professionally and personally for Prof. JIAN Sisi, a journey she is now encouraging others to try.

2020 年初第一波新冠疫情爆發時，胡錦添教授與他帶領的香港科技大學（科大）機械人競賽團隊學生果敢地決定繼續他們的工作。他們謹守防疫限制和規定，把團隊細分成幾個小組，全天24小時輪流在實驗室工作。當「全港大專生機械人大賽2020」（Robocon 2020）由6月延期至9月舉行時，團隊成員已早著先機，比其他在疫情高峰時暫停備戰的隊伍走前了整整五個月。最終科大機械人競賽團隊先於香港賽事摘下冠軍，再在 ABU Robocon Festival 2020 中獲亞太區亞軍，又一次展現了他們堅毅不屈、勇往直前的團隊精神。

With the help of HKUST’s exciting satellite remote sensing technology and data advances, School of Engineering faculty are seeking more accurate weather forecasts and greater understanding of climate change to enable more effective planning and decision-making by policymakers, companies and individuals.
