Professor Siu Wing Or, currently a professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, has obtained over 65 research grants from various sources since 2002. He established the Smart Materials & Systems Laboratory in 2008, took over the High Voltage Engineering Laboratory in 2009, and directed them to become strategic technology resources of both Electrical Engineering and PolyU. His primary research focuses on developing multifunctional smart materials with interestingly high magneto/electro/thermo/mechano/optical responses; micro- and nanoscale and investigating the fundamentals of sensing, actuation, and transduction mechanisms; and energy generation and conversion processes.
He has produced 300+ research publications since 1996, including 2 professional book chapters, 43 patents for 16 inventions, 200+ SCI Journal papers 200+ SCI journal papers (>70% in Q1 journals, h-index: 30+, citations: 3500+), and 60+ international conference papers. He has received 20+ international, national, and local research/invention awards/medals. Most of them have been commercialized/deployed in various industrial sectors worldwide, including power distribution systems, circuit protection and control apparatuses, railway electrification systems, cable-suspension bridges, semiconductor packaging equipment, high-power ultrasonic assembly equipment, etc.
His work also focuses on thermoelectric power generation using experimental investigations.
