Vacancy:

1. Research positions: I recruit Postdoctoral Fellow in the area of structural health monitoring (SHM) from time to time. Those with good research track record (top university, good publications, etc.), please contact me and attach a CV including academic background, list of publications, and some representative publications.

 2. PhD Research students (RS): I recruit RS (including HK PhD Fellowship) each year without any advertisement. PolyU has two PhD schemes. One is the normal one (Scheme 1) having a monthly stipend of about HK$18100 (~US$2330). The tuition fee is currently HK$3500 per month. The other scheme is HK PhD Fellowship (Scheme 2), which offers a monthly stipend of HK$26600 (~US$3430) with tuition fee waived. The latter is definitely more difficult to secure (I have two succeeded). Those top students who are interested in doing research, please write emails to me and attach a simple CV including the English language results and academic transcripts (including GPA). I receive a number of queries about the applications every year and may not respond all of them immediately. Below gives some general information for reference:
