CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT - The Hong Kong Polytechnic ...

Four other scholars joined the Department of Land Surveying
and Geo-Informatics in September 2012. Following are their
profiles:
Dr Wong Man Sing, Charles
On 20 August 2012, the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-
Informatics (LSGI) welcomed Dr Wong Man Sing, Charles, as an
Assistant Professor, who received his PhD in Remote Sensing
and GIS in 2009, MPhil in Remote Sensing and GIS in 2005, and
BSc in Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics in 2003, all from
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Not only did Dr Wong
achieve the highest academic qualification from LSGI, he also
established a strong connection in research areas.
In 2005, Dr Wong joined LSGI as a part-time research fellow
and stepped up to a Senior Research Fellow in 2011. He was a
Fulbright scholar at the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary
Center of the University of Maryland in College Park from 2006
to 2007. Currently he is the official site manager for two AERNET
stations in Hong Kong.
He has various research project experiences, including the
use of remote sensing to study urban heat island effect, urban
environmental quality, landslides, vegetation and ecosystems,
spectral mixture analysis, aerosol retrieval and air quality
monitoring. Moreover, he has published over 30 scientific
papers, 2 book chapters, and over 50 conference papers in the
last 7 years.

With his fabulous knowledge in remote sensing, his teaching
will focus on this area.
Ir Dr Wai Lok Lai, Wallace (Assistant Prof.)
Ir Dr Lai obtained his PhD in 2006 and his BSc in 1999, both in
Building Technology and Management from the Department of
Building and Real Estate (BRE) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic
University.
Following his graduation, Dr Lai worked for a major contractor
and an engineering consultant for six years. He then served as
a Project and Research Fellow in the Department of Civil and
Structural Engineering (CSE) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic
University, and later as the Adolf Martens Postdoctoral Fellow
at the Federal Institute of Materials Research and Testing
(BAM), Berlin, Germany. He is now a Visiting Scientist at BAM,
a corporate member in the Materials Division of the Hong Kong
Institute of Engineers (HKIE), and is a Technical Assessor for
the Hong Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (HOKLAS)
administered by the Hong Kong Government.
Seeing the unseen is truly Dr Lai's cup of tea. His research
interests include condition survey and diagnosis of engineering
structures, underground utilities, construction materials, hydrogeophysics,
and sites of archaeological value, via nondestructive
evaluation (NDE), near-surface geophysical techniques and
advanced signal processing. These techniques include ground
penetrating radar, infrared thermography, electrical resistivity,
etc. His main teaching duties will be with the Department's
innovative and world-leading Utility Surveying stream of the B.Sc.
(Hons) in Geomatics programme.
