Jimin won the Best Student Presentation Award at the 22nd Annual Conference of HKSTAM
Mr. Jimin FU, a PhD student from Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, recently got the Best Student Presentation Award at the 22nd Annual Conference of HKSTAM held at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on 14 April 2018.
The 22nd Annual Conference of HKSTAM 2018 in conjunction with the 14th Shanghai-Hong Kong Forum on Mechanics and Its Application was co-organized by the Hong Kong Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (HKSTAM), the Shanghai Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (SSTAM) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). The conference topics cover mechanics and its application in all science and engineering disciplines. The one-day conference featured 5 distinguished lectures and 38 presentations in 8 parallel sessions. Student participants were provided opportunities to present their research work during the presentation sessions. Based on the assessment results by referees, eight best students were awarded the Best Student Presentation Award. The topic of Jimin’s presentation is “Microscopic ridge-like surface morphology: An antifouling strategy learned from nature”.
Mr. Jimin FU is a fourth-year PhD candidate. He is devoted to the study on micro-and nanomechanics of natural biomaterials under the joint supervisions of Dr. Haimin YAO and Prof. Sanqiang SHI.
Weiqun won the Best Poster Award at an International Symposium (3 Aug., 2016)
Weiqun Li recently got the Best Poster Award at the 5th International Symposium on Energy Challenges and Mechanics – Working on Small Scales (http://nscj.co.uk/ecm5/index.html) which was held in Inverness, Scotland, United Kingdom on 10-14 July 2016.
The symposium focused on the current state of small scale technologies which are applied to solve the energy issues. The topics covered the fields of energy storage and applications, photovoltaics, fuel cells, supercapacitors, nanomechanics, thermoelectrics, wind power, etc. Attendees, including scientists, researchers, engineers and industry managers from all over the world, gave oral and poster presentations about the state-of-the-art researches in the energy-related areas during the 5-day conference. One winner of the Best Poster Award was selected by the Conference Scientific Committee from the total eight poster presenters. The title of the winning poster is “Mechanics-Based Investigation into the Structural Integrity of Core-Shell Nanostructured Electrodes for Lithium Ion Batteries”.
Weiqun is a third-year PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Haimin Yao and co-supervision of Prof. Li-Min Zhou. He is devoted to the study on the mechanics and materials science of the nanostructured energy materials for lithium ion batteries.
Congratulations to Weiqun!

Weiqun Won a Poster Prize at an International Symposium
Mr. Weiqun LI, a PhD student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, was recently awarded a Poster Prize at the 5th Unilever-RSC International Symposium on Functional Materials Science held at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on 15 September 2014.
Royal Society of Chemistry and Unilever have collaborated in organizing a series of highly successful multisite international symposia since 2010. The 5th symposium took place at three different cities including Hong Kong with one-day workshop for each city this year. Each one-day workshop included four high-quality invited talks on advanced functional materials including bio-inspired materials and technology, biologically active materials and so on. Student participants were provided opportunity to present their work and communicate with international scholars during a poster session. Based on the assessment by the referees, three best posters were awarded the Poster Prize.
Mr. Li is a second-year PhD student in ME department. His is devoted to the study on the mechanics of durability and reliability of energy materials under the supervisions of Dr. Haimin Yao and Prof. Limin Zhou.
