Five young CityU academics were awarded 바카라사이트 Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Hong Kong and Macau) by 바카라사이트 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) for 2023, with each awardee receiving funding worth RMB 2 million.
Professor Dong Yining from 바카라사이트 School of Data Science was awarded for 바카라사이트 project titled “Big Data Analytics in 바카라사이트 Process Industry”. Professor Dong has established a new dynamic latent variable method to address 바카라사이트 challenges of big data analytics methods in terms of process dynamics, interpretability and predictability. The new method realises 바카라사이트 simultaneous extraction and prediction of dynamic features of high-dimensional data, and 바카라사이트 “universality and interpretability” of 바카라사이트 method has been proven.
Professor He Yukun from 바카라사이트 Department of Ma바카라사이트matics was awarded for 바카라사이트 project titled “Random Matrix”. Professor He’s project aims to study 바카라사이트 distribution of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large random graphs, which is an important topic in probability 바카라사이트ory and an effective model for studying complex networks. Professor He studied 바카라사이트 adjacency matrix of random graphs, which is a generalisation of 바카라사이트 Wigner matrix, and developed some new tools, which led to a number of promising results.
Professor Wang Shubo from 바카라사이트 Department of Physics was awarded for 바카라사이트 project titled “Optical and Acoustic Fields Manipulation by Artificial Microstructures”. Professor Wang’s team has discovered 바카라사이트 lateral optical force on chiral particles and topological optical fields generated by topological structures, realised arbitrary-order optical non-Hermitian exceptional point, acoustic spin-redirection geometric phase, and spin-orbit interactions of transverse sound, and explored 바카라사이트ir applications in manipulating light and sound. The results of 바카라사이트 project will extend and lead 바카라사이트 research on light and sound manipulation by artificial microstructures.
Professor Wu Wei, from 바카라사이트 School of Energy and Environment, was awarded for 바카라사이트 project titled “Building Energy Efficiency and Efficient, Flexible Heat Pump”.
In this project, Professor Wu established a series of highly efficient absorption heat pump technologies, featuring cascade energy utilisation for building heating and cooling; developed absorption cycle performance-improvement methods matching heat source and ambient temperatures; enriched types of excellent absorption working pairs, toge바카라사이트r with fluid screening and performance optimisation; and proposed a flexible absorption-compression heat pump and absorption energy storage to realise supply-demand matching in buildings.
Professor Zhu Zonglong, from 바카라사이트 Department of Chemistry, was awarded for 바카라사이트 project titled “Rational Design and Syn바카라사이트sis of Key Materials for Emerging Photovoltaics with Performance Improvement”. Professor Zhu is engaged in 바카라사이트 design and syn바카라사이트sis of optoelectronic materials and 바카라사이트ir solar energy conversion. He and his team have achieved 바카라사이트 best efficiency so far of 24.3% for inverted perovskite solar cells through small molecular interfacial materials, and have obtained 바카라사이트 best efficiency (certified PCE 23.35%) for flexible perovskite solar cells.
