Prof. TAO introduced her research project to the UGC members
A University Grants Committee (UGC) delegation visited the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Lab (AIR Lab) at the University’s Industrial Centre of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) on 12 September 2024, where they met with university management and faculty members to gain valuable insights into the University’s latest developments.
Mr. Tim Lui, Chairman of UGC, was accompanied by 24 UGC members and Secretariat staff. During the visit, Prof. Xiaoming TAO, Vincent and Lily Woo Professor in Textile Technology, Chair Professor of Textile Technology of the School of Fashion and Textiles, and Director of the Research Institute for Intelligent Wearable Systems, introduced her research project “Wearable System with Alternating Cooling and Heating for Sport Recovery and Safe” and “Eco-friendly Antimicrobial Materials with High Efficiency”.
The fast recovery device COOL-WEAR developed by Prof. Tao’s team aims to help athletes recover more effectively. This technology not only improves the comfort of use, but also achieves personalized recovery plans by regulating the temperature. In addition, the environmentally friendly antibacterial materials have demonstrated its application prospects in both environmental protection and safety.
