Teaching

My current teaching interests and activities focus on dynamic systems, sequential decisions, and smart cities. I have also been serving as a honorary associate professor supervising MA projects on smart mobility  at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), and an external examiner for research students from various universities and institutes around the world.  

Apart from teaching activities at universities, I have been delivering short courses on transport and logistics planning and operations for national and international government organisations including UK Department for Transport, Transport for London, California Department of Transportation, MTR Corporation, and Hong Kong Transport Department. 

Courses I am currently teaching at CityU :

• SYE1001: Introduction of engineering disciplines (SYE, 2025 -)

This is a first-year undergraduate course for students in innovation and enterprise engineering. The course introduce different engineering disciplines in the College of Engineering. This course also showcases the significance of engineering profession, innovation, and enterprises in today's society. 

• SYE4036: Systems modelling and optimization (SYE, 2024 -)

This is a third- / fourth-year undergraduate core course covering simulation modelling and optimization techniques in systems engineering, with highlight of their applications in practice. Students will also learn the applications of modelling, design, simulation, verification and validation, planning and optimization.

• SYE6111: Transportation and logistics management (SYE, 2024 -)

This course aims to introduce the design and operations of transportation and logistics systems, and their significance for smart cities and industry. Emphasis will be placed on systems engineering approaches including use of modelling, data and decision analytics. This course showcases the roles of systems engineers in today's information era, and the importance of information driven and innovative thinking. Students' learning in this course will further be supported by real world cases presented in class.

• SYE6309: Smart city and IoT technologies (SYE, 2027 -)

This course aims to explore its implication and opportunity for development of smart city and industry. We will investigate this from a manufacturing perspective in which emphasis will be placed on smart city development, the use of sensors, the internet of things, low altitude airspace economy, and manufacturing technologies. Students will learn about how these technologies are influencing and shaping future urban development. Students learning in this course will be based on cases presented throughout the course. Students will also work on their own smart city projects through case studies.
