🎉 Warm congratulations to Prof. Yi-Qing NI, Chair Professor of Smart Structures and Rail Transit of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), on receiving the prestigious 16th Guanghua Engineering Science and Technology Award!

Recognised as one of China's most respected engineering honours, the award celebrates Prof. Ni's decades of pioneering contributions to civil engineering and infrastructure innovation. 🌉🚆

His groundbreaking research has led to the development of advanced Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems that help assess the safety and condition of major infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Today, his innovative methodologies have been widely adopted in large-scale bridges, rail transit systems and other critical engineering projects.

Through his dedication to smart infrastructure and sustainable engineering, Prof. Ni continues to make lasting contributions to the safety, resilience and future development of smart cities.

👏 We are proud to celebrate this remarkable achievement and his continued leadership in engineering research.

🏆 Congratulations to Prof. Tommy WEI, Professor of the Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE), on receiving the prestigious HUAWEI Spark Award!

Prof. Wei and his team have long dedicated to the underlying mechanisms of the human visual system, translating research findings into innovative solutions for full-link multimedia systems ranging from camera capture to screen display. Addressing a major bottleneck in display colour calibration for this year’s HUAWEI challenge, the team leveraged visual science research to deliver a breakthrough engineering solution. This innovation significantly enhances the colour calibration accuracy and user experience of product displays. The technology has already been deployed, making a tangible contribution to the advancement of display technology worldwide.💡⚙️

Their achievement demonstrates how academic research can drive technological advancement and create a tangible impact on industry and society. This perfectly exemplifies the direct relevance and practical application of FCE’s research to everyday life.
