Student News

PolyU Faculty of Engineering organized the first Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT®) on 18 June 2021.  Seven affiliated departments nominated seventeen research students participating in it.

3MT® celebrates the exciting research conducted by research postgraduate students.  Developed by the University of Queensland, Australia, the competition cultivates students’ academic presentation and research communication skills, and supports their capacity to effectively explain their research and its significance in three minutes, in a language appropriate to non-specialist audiences.  3MT® is now a globally recognized competition that has been held in over 900 universities across more than 80 countries worldwide.  PolyU is one of the participating universities this year.

The Faculty formed a panel of judges by representatives from the seven affiliated departments. The participants each delivered a high-impact brief presentation within 3-minute.  Most of them demonstrated good academic pitching skills.

Congratulations to our ME student, ARIF Muhammad Irsalan, for his fabulous presentation winning the 1st runner-up in the competition.

ARIF Muhammad Irsalan is currently a PhD student in ME under the supervision of Dr Randolph LEUNG.  “Study of Passive Methods for Airfoil Tonal Noise Reduction using Fluid-Structure Interactions” is his research project.
