CEE Research Impact Exhibition cum Alumni Reunion Reception

CEE Research Impact Exhibition cum Alumni Reunion Reception

As one of the events celebrating its golden jubilee, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) held the Research Impact Exhibition cum Alumni Reunion Reception on 18 March 2023 (Saturday).

The successful event attracted more than 130 participants, bringing together students, staff, alumni and friends of CEE to RECONNECT and share their insights regarding CEE's latest research outcomes. Prof. Xiangdong Li, Dean of FCE, addressed the audience in a welcoming speech, while Prof. Chi Sun Poon, Head of CEE, also expressed his joy and made remarks on CEE’s milestones as well as achievements.

The exhibition showcased the research outcomes of projects that are of societal impact, including six cutting-edge civil engineering-related research projects led by our professors. Through exploring the functional exhibits and interacting with our researchers, participants gained deeper knowledge of CEE’s research outputs in real life.

Highlights of Research Projects: 
(In alphabetical order of project title)
• Innovation in Low Carbon Construction Materials (Prof. Chi Sun Poon)
• Innovative Structures Incorporating Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites and Seawater Sea-Sand Concrete (Prof. Tao Yu)
• Novel Sensing Technology and Applications in Geotechnical Engineering (Prof. Jian-Hua Yin)
• Research on the Use of High-Strength Steel in Construction (Prof. Kwok-Fai Chung)
• The Use of Dredged Sediments for Economical and Sustainable Reclamation Solutions in Hong Kong (Prof. Jian-Hua Yin)
• UmiCool: An Eco-friendly Smart Sub-ambient Radiative Cooling (SSRC) Coating (Prof. Jian-Guo Dai)

The programme ended with laboratory tours to the Concrete Materials Laboratory, Water and Waste Laboratories, Structural Engineering Research Laboratory, Industrial Centre and Railway Corner, during which related research experiments and equipment were showcased.
