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. 

• SYE2339: Smart cities  - a systems engineering approach (SYE, 2022 -)

This is a first-year undergraduate course covering elements of smart cities from a systems engineering perspective in which emphasis will be placed on the use of sensors, internet of things (IoT), data analytics, and intelligent manufacturing. Students will also learn to build prototypes of smart city solutions. 

• 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.

• SYE5010: Engineering Management Principles and Concepts (SYE, 2023 -)

This is a master level course aiming to equip students with the basic principles and concepts in engineering management. Elements covered include identification and elaboration of the primary engineering managerial functions, principles and concepts; recognition of different decision making strategies; fundamentals of engineering economics and finance; application of teamwork and managerial skills via course projects.
