Faculty of Engineering 30th Anniversary
2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the Faculty of Engineering at CUHK. The Faculty was established in 1991 by our former Vice Chancellor and Nobel Laureate Professor Charles Kao, whose vision not only addressed the technological challenges in the early 1990s right before the booming of the Internet, but also positioned the Faculty of Engineering to excel for many years into the future.
Saving the Voice of an Oral Cancer Patient with AI-based Speech Technology

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the most influential technology revolutionising modern life in many ways. To date, the power of AI has been demonstrated by notable stories of success, including AlphaGo, DeepFake, GPT-3, and Waymo. Despite this, the real benefits of AI remain relatively inaccessible to the general public, even though they should not be. As researchers continue to work tirelessly on advanced AI systems to address grand challenges, there are many ordinary situations in which AI can be applied to immediately and directly benefit people in need.
A Breakthrough on the Resolution of 3D Printing Pure Copper Components Using Highly Complex Geometries

A research team led by Prof. Song Xu from CUHK Engineering recently proposed a novel method for 3D printing high-performance pure copper at a resolution of 100μm. They demonstrated that pure copper structures can be built at a high resolution and high performance using micro laser power bed fusion (µLPBF), an additive manufacturing method. This fabrication process enables the printing of pure copper under low power using a low-cost infrared laser which achieves low roughness, high physical properties, and high precision at the same time. The outcome of this research has been published in ‘Additive Manufacturing’, a prestigious journal in the manufacturing engineering field.
