Research Impact and Innovation
The Faculty’s commitment to innovation is demonstrated through nine impactful research projects awarded funding in the first two rounds of Hong Kong Government’s Research, Academic and Industry Sectors One-plus Scheme (RAISe+ Scheme). The projects cover a diverse range of innovative areas from advanced engineering, biomedical to materials science, demonstrating a high level of technology which enables the translation of research outcomes into product developments:

In addition, the Faculty’s researchers have also established multiple start-ups and spin-off companies based on their research findings. At present, the Faculty has successfully seeded two unicorns—SenseTime and Cornerstone Robotics—both of which are valued over US$1 billion.
Fostering Future Innovation
The Faculty of Engineering at CUHK provides one of the world’s premier research environments with access to over 80 specialised laboratories. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, the Faculty encourages students to explore a diverse range of subjects in their studies and research, equipping them with both a solid foundation and the flexibility needed for their future career development. The Faculty’s nurturing environment is exemplified by students like Aiana BAEKOVA, a Kyrgyz Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) recipient in Biomedical Engineering. “The department’s interdisciplinary nature and strong connections with other departments allow students to engage in cutting-edge research while examining their scientific work from various perspectives,” shares Aiana.
