LSGI two scholars, Prof. DING Xiaoli and Ir Dr Wallace LAI, were recognized under the "Smart Building/Environment Technology/Green Technology" category in the Smart Living Partnership Awards 2023/24.
We are pleased to announce that two scholars from the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have been recognized for their outstanding contributions to smart city development. Prof. DING Xiaoli, DoRILS and Chair Professor of Geomatics, and Ir Dr Wallace LAI, Associate Head (Teaching) and Associate Professor, have both been awarded the Smart Living Partnership Award 2023/24.
Prof. Ding's project, "Outstanding Land Subsidence Monitoring Technology by Integrating Satellite Remote Sensing & Mobile Surveying," was recognized under the "Smart Building/ Environment Technology/ Green Technology" category. This innovative project, developed in collaboration with the Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM), aims to efficiently monitor land subsidence over large areas using satellite remote sensing and mobile surveying technologies.
Ir Dr Lai's project, "Outstanding Imaging Technologies for Rapid Leakage Diagnosis of High-Pressure and Large Water Mains," was also awarded in the same category. This project focuses on using GPR and acoustic sensor networks to rapidly diagnose water leaks in Hong Kong's underground pressurized water mains. This work supports the government's goal of reducing water loss in the city's distribution network from 15% to 10% by 2030, through the application of advanced imaging and machine learning solutions. This success of this project relies on the collaboration between LSGI, Ming Hing Waterworks and Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM).
The Smart Living Partnership Award 23/24 is presented by ETNet, a leading platform for exchanging financial information. The award aims to recognize and support outstanding companies or organizations that demonstrate a commitment to promoting Hong Kong as a smart city, improving the city's competitiveness, and increasing public awareness of digitalization.
We congratulate Prof. Ding, Ir Dr Lai, and their respective research teams on their remarkable achievements! Their innovative work is evidence to LSGI's ongoing efforts to contribute to the development of a more sustainable and technologically advanced Hong Kong.
