Faculty Awards for Outstanding Achievement 2024

The results of the Faculty Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Teaching, Research and Scholarly Activities, Knowledge Transfer and Services 2023 were announced on 13 August 2024. BME is proud that Associate Professor Dr Xiaoling HU had been awarded the Outstanding Individual Award - Knowledge Transfer: Industry!

Dr Hu is the founder of Thecon Technology HK Ltd. (a PolyU academic-led startup). The “Mobile Ankle-foot Exoneuromusculoskeleton” developed by the research team led by Dr HU had recently won the Gold Medal at the 49th International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva.

All winners were chosen by a Faculty Assessment Panel, comprising Heads (or their delegates) and chaired by the Dean of Engineering, from amongst a pool of well-qualified nominees put forward by individual departments. The selection was made with reference to the indicative criteria for assessment as laid down by the University for the exercise.

Dr Hu will receive a Certificate of Award, a cash prize and a teaching grant of HK$100,000. The Prize Presentation Ceremony of the Faculty will be held in February/March 2025.

Congratulations to Dr Hu for her exceptional achievement!
