ITC researchers are well known for their projects that are diverse in scope and focus and their strong research capability. As testimony to this fact, ten ITC led projects have been recently funded a total of HK$10M from external competitive funding schemes, including the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITC) from the Innovation and Technology Commission, and the General Research Fund (GRF).
In fact, the projects also show the commitment of ITC staff members to the well-being of the community. The projects include investigating antiviral and antibacterial clothing and facemask, biofeedback system for adolescents with early scoliosis, skin-like water repellent fabric, fiber-based thermoelectric generators, and many more. The funded research projects are listed below.
