K. H. (KOKO) Lam
Koko Lam is currently a Reader (Ultrasonics) in James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow (UofG) and an Adjunct Professor in Department of Electrical Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPolyU). He received the M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Physics from HKPolyU. During his graduate studies, he worked on the synthesis and characterizations of piezoelectric materials and their applications in sensors and actuators under the supervision of Prof. Helen L.W. Chan. He was a visiting scholar in Stanford University in 2007. From 2007 to 2009, he acquired the HKPolyU-funded Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and worked on the applications of smart materials in civil engineering structures at HKPolyU. Meanwhile, he also joined an international project (collaborated with Stanford University, University of Michigan, and Georgia Institute of Technology) to conduct wireless vibration monitoring of Guangzhou Television and Sightseeing Tower in China. He then joined the group of Prof. Kirk K. Shung as a Research Associate at the NIH Resource Center on Medical Ultrasonic Transducer Technology in the Department of Biomedical Engineering of University of Southern California (USC). He started his academic career as an Assistant Professor (2013) and later an Associate Professor and Associate Head of Department (2019) in Electrical Engineering at HKPolyU.
Dr. Lam has been working in the field of smart materials and applications including materials for energy conversion (e.g., piezoelectrics, thermoelectrics, multiferroics, photocatalysis, etc.) and storage (e.g., electrode materials for rechargeable batteries, dielectrics, etc.), ultrasonic transducer technology, smart sensor and actuator technology, and various biomedical and non-destructive applications. He has achieved 260+ publications, including 10 patents for 8 inventions, 230+ SCI journal papers, and 20 international conference papers.
Dr. Lam received an Early Career Award in 2014 presented by Research Grants Council of Hong Kong. He has listed among the top 2% scientists in a global list released by Stanford University since 2021. He has been a Visiting Professor in South China Normal University since 2015. He is an Exco member of Ultrasound Transducers and Materials Society, China Association of Medical Equipment - Medical Ultrasound Equipment Society, a Secretary of IEEE Hong Kong Joint Chapter of PES/IAS/PELS/IES (IEEE JC PIPI), a Senior Member of the IEEE Society, and a Member of American Chemical Society. He is an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Smart Materials and has served on the editorial board of several SCI journals. He has also served as a Reviewer for grant proposals and manuscripts for over 70 prestigious international SCI journals, a Member of local/overseas examination boards, and an Organizing Committee Member of international conferences & seminars.
