Scientists of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have gained international recognition for their outstanding research achievements.
Prof. Benny C.F. Cheung, Chair Professor of Ultra-precision Machining and Metrology in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, the Director of State Key Laboratory of Ultra-precision Machining Technology, and the Director of the PolyU-Wenzhou Technology and Innovation Research Institute of PolyU, has been selected as the American Society for Precision Engineering (ASPE) College of Fellows, in recognition of his theoretical and applied advancements in machining dynamics and nanometer level surface finish generation.
Prof. Cheung is the first Chinese scholar to receive this highly prestigious honor. He is recognized for his sustained and on-going advancements in cutting mechanics and surface generation mechanisms, modelling and simulation of ultra-precision machining processes, ultra-precision surface measurement, and the design and development of innovative ultra-precision machining processes and instrumentation.
The ASPE strives to advance the arts, sciences, and technology of precision engineering. Election to the ASPE College of Fellows is an honor intended to recognize those exceptional members of the Society who have made outstanding contributions to the art and practice of Precision Engineering through original research, significant innovations, education and outreach, or service to the profession.
