Congratulations to Dr Liang Zhaojian, a PhD graduate from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has been awarded the 2024 Young Scientist Award in the Physical/Mathematical Science category, conferred by the Hong Kong Institution of Science (HKIS) at the HKIS 31st Annual Conference held on 07 Dec 2024.

This prestigious award was established to reward young scientists in Hong Kong who exhibit great promise in their field of study. The award is open to all postgraduate research students who are pursuing an MPhil or PhD degree in any of the tertiary institutions in Hong Kong, as well as those who have graduated recently (within 2 years of graduation). Each year, HKIS will confer three winners, which are in the fields of Physical/Mathematical Science, Life Science and Engineering Science, respectively. Dr Liang is the winner in the field of Physical/Mathematical Science this year. Each award winner will receive a cash prize of $10,000 and a certificate of recognition.

Dr Liang completed his PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, under the guidance of Dr Li Mengying, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His research focuses on understanding the transient behaviors of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). This work provides valuable insights for safer and more efficient systems for green hydrogen production, advancing the transition to carbon neutrality.
