29 November 2009 CUHK Scholar Wins ASME Young Engineer Award
¡¥ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference 1999 was the first international academic conference I attended when I was a graduate student. Ten years later I was elected the recipient of its Young Engineer Award. It¡¦s not easy for an investigator outside the US to get this award since the majority of the ASME community is from US universities or research institutes.¡¦ Professor Wang¡¦s main research interest is geometric modelling methods for three dimensional complex objects, with applications in computer-aided design and manufacturing, biomedical engineering and computer graphics. He has invented a fabricated wetsuit by applying the technique of transforming 3D body data into 2D pieces to optimize customization of clothes and greatly shorten the production time. His project won the Best Lifestyle Bronze Award (Work Life and Professional Services) from the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2008.
