Staff profile

, course leader

I lead the Aerospace Engineering course at the 香港六合彩资料 and my expertise is in experimental aerodynamics. I love teaching students about the physics of flight, flight dynamics and aircraft design.

Students engage in a variety of activities to enhance their hands-on experience and connect their learning to real-world engineering. In our labs, students conduct wind tunnel experiments to explore aerodynamics and test their design concepts and perform computational fluid dynamics simulations to deepen their understanding of fluid behaviour and its applications in engineering. 

• First-year students design, test, and launch water rockets on a special Launch Day, applying their engineering skills in a fun and celebratory event.
• In their final year, students have a chance to see their designed aircraft take flight, putting their cumulative knowledge into action. 
• Those who join project teams led by our colleagues may also participate in parabolic flight campaigns, providing a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects with real-world applications. 

These experiences not only enrich their education but also demonstrate how their learning directly applies to the field of engineering.

Students also have opportunities to get involved in my research on renewable and sustainable energy. Recently a group of students analysed wing design modifications experimentally and numerically as part of their major team project.

What I enjoy most about teaching at undergraduate level is fostering a deep understanding of the fundamentals of aerospace engineering in students by research and practice informed teaching. Witnessing their growth as they grasp complex concepts and apply them to real-world scenarios is truly rewarding.
