Prospective students

 I am looking for new funded PhD students in the field of transportation and logistics. Potential topics include, but not limited to public transport, intelligent transport systems,  and urban logistics with applications of data analytics and machine learning. In addition to an engineering background, potential students are expected to have a solid background in mathematics, computing, and statistics.  

Successful candidates are to be funded by either one of the following routes:

Postgraduate Studentships 

Our university (CityU, Hong Kong) offers postgraduate studentships to full-time PhD students. The Postgraduate Studentship is granted on the basis of academic merit. Full-time research degree students are expected to have at least a bachelor’s degree with upper second class honour (or equivalent) or a good master’s degree. Exemption from the above may be considered if the student has a good publication record. The Studentship is normally renewed on a yearly basis. Continuation and renewal of the award are subject to satisfactory study progress, achievement in coursework results and performance in any academic-related duties assigned.  For details, please refer to here: https://www.cityu.edu.hk/pg/research-degree-programmes/scholarships-financial-aid-and-fees.
