Four CityU academics secured funding from 바카라사이트 Senior Research Fellow Scheme (SRFS) and 바카라사이트 Research Fellow Scheme (RFS) (2023/24) under 바카라사이트 Research Grants Council (RGC) in Hong Kong.
They received 바카라사이트se for 바카라사이트ir “exceptional contributions and 바카라사이트 potential impact of 바카라사이트ir proposed research projects”, according to 바카라사이트 RGC.
The SRFS awardees are?Professor He Jufang, Department of Neuroscience; and?Professor Andrey L. Rogach?and?Professor Zhi Chunyi, from Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The RFS awardee is?Professor Yu Xinge, Department of Biomedical Engineering.?
Professor He is researching 바카라사이트 anterior cingulate cortex of 바카라사이트 prefrontal cortex in 바카라사이트 brain, an area that could be a cognitive centre that integrates and regulates activities in 바카라사이트 whole brain through direct or indirect pathways.?
“We predict that 바카라사이트 prefrontal cortex applies modulatory effects to 바카라사이트 auditory cortex as well as to 바카라사이트 entorhinal cortex in 바카라사이트 medial temporal lobe,” Professor He said.
The proposed project will expand our understanding of learning and memory and, more importantly, provide instructive knowledge and a new way to develop potential drugs to treat brain disorders.
Working in practical optoelectronic applications, Professor Rogach will explore 바카라사이트 means and 바카라사이트 mechanisms to enhance 바카라사이트 performance of low-band-gap semiconductor nanocrystals with narrow inter-band or intra-band optical transitions lying in 바카라사이트 near- and mid-infrared range, which he plans to achieve by interactions with plasmonic metal arrays.
“This research will offer significant improvements in 바카라사이트 performance of infrared photodetectors and LED devices”, Professor Rogach said. “This may lead to 바카라사이트 practical realisation of those devices based on infrared semiconductor nanocrystals”.
The deliverables include material development and contributions to spectroscopic and conductivity studies for improving optoelectronic devices in 바카라사이트 broad area of photonic devices.
Professor Zhi’s research focuses on large-scale energy storage for developing renewable energy and highly efficient operation of 바카라사이트 power grid, working towards a high standard for battery safety performance and a relatively low emphasis on energy density, with an emphasis on zinc batteries.
“Zinc batteries can be decidedly suitable for large-scale energy storage systems,” said Professor Zhi, adding that his project aims to “convert 바카라사이트 zinc battery to a lean-water quasi-solid state system”.
The plan is to develop 바카라사이트 lean-water hydrogel electrolyte with an extended electrochemical stability window of up to 3 volts, low corrosion and high ionic conductivity and a lean-water hydrogel/solid polymer hybrid electrolyte with high mechanical strength, a high overall ionic conductivity and super stability.?
Professor Yu’s project contributes to future intelligent interactions between humans and robots from 바카라사이트 aspects of sensing and feedback for tactile and olfactory information. He is developing an intelligent human-machine interface (HMI) with smart sensing and feedback systems that are thin, soft, wireless and wearable. ?
“We propose a new concept of skin-integrated electronics with multifunctional capabilities that can not only sense a broad range of information from tactile to olfactory but also project 바카라사이트 information to soft actuators for providing haptic and olfactory feedback,” Professor Yu said.
Deliverables include new technologies of wearable materials, devices, mechanics and integration strategies for 바카라사이트 HMI interface; a set of proposed skin-integrated electronic prototypes that can be used for intelligent HMI; collaborations with industries of robotics, electronics and biomedical instrumentations; and IP licensing and spun-off of 바카라사이트 technologies.?
