SYLLABUS:

COMP9501 Machine Learning This course will discuss and study research topics and current problems of interest in the field of

data engineering.

ELEC 8002 Advanced Topics in Networking

The course aims to focus on gaining knowledge of advanced, cutting-edge research and

development in the protocol design for networking, learning to write critical reviews of

research papers, and exploring a research project in some depth. Topics include general

background about networking, design principles for the Internet, transport layer protocols,

queue management, inter-domain routing, network architecture, and Internet of Things.

ELEC8108 DEEP LEARNING AND APPLICATIONS

The objective of the course is to introduce the basic principles of deep learning. Deep

feedforward networks; regularization for deep learning; optimization for training deep models;

convolutional networks; sequence modeling: recurrent and recursive nets are discussed. AI

ethics and AI applications, especially as they relate to important societal problems will be

studied.

ELEC 8405 MATHEMATICAL TOOLS FOR MODERN POWER SYSTEM

ANALYSIS

The course is aimed at establishing basic analytical tools for modern power systems and so will

focus on more theoretical aspects of power system dynamics and stability. The scope covers

both high-voltage transmission networks and low-voltage distribution networks. The topics

from year to year are somewhat variable, including but not limited to:

• Graph theory with application to power system modelling and stability

• Other advanced math tools for stability problems

• Computational aspects for power system optimization problems considering stability

Students need to be prepared to learn some new mathematics as needed and appreciate its use

to overcome modern problems in power and energy systems and networks.

ELEC 8408 DYNAMICAL POWER NETWORKS PART II: CONTROL AND

OPTIMIZATION

Modern electrical power grids face many new challenges and some older ones are still not fully

resolved, e.g. preventing cascading collapses. In response to concerns about greenhouse gas

levels, many countries are aiming to increase the use of renewable power sources. These tend

to be diverse (in type, size, location) and weather-dependent creating random generation in

parts of the grid that it was not designed for, e.g. building rooftops, remote areas. Further, there

are new loads such as electric vehicles which disrupt prior patterns of network loading. To help

with power balancing and control, new technologies such as energy storage and demand control

will be used. Previously system analysis and control were studied in a piecemeal way. Now all

this is changing: the system balancing problem is much harder; the stability implications of

high levels of renewables are yet to be fully understood; system control now involves the

demand-side (a topic being researched at HKU in the electric spring project); and the legacy

grid will become increasingly an ill-fit unless we can find ways to utilize it more robustly.

Moreover, conservative design of grids (so-called N-x criteria) is under threat due to high costs,

giving way to so-called risk-based methods. Finally, the trend to greater use of information

networks to build so-called smart grids, which is really just a marketing name for extending

feedback control down to distribution levels, adds another level of complexity by having the

power and information networks inter-dependent in a cyber-physical system with new security

risks.

The two-series courses on dynamical power networks are aimed at advanced students who wish

to understand the latest research developments in power and energy networks with emphasis

on systems aspects, dynamics, stability, security, control, and optimization. The scope covers

transmission and distribution networks. This includes new problems arising in future grids with

high renewables and the main systems and control issues in developing systems with

capabilities often described as smart grids. This course is the part II of the two-series courses

and aims at providing students with the fundamental and new results on control and

optimization issues for modern power systems.

MECH6018. Atmospheric environment modelling

This course aims to: (1) provide rigorous and comprehensive treatment of various modelling

methodologies on the atmospheric environment and air pollution dispersion; and (2) introduce

the state-of-the-art of various modelling packages for use in industry.

Topics include: foundations of atmospheric dynamics, models of winds, atmospheric

turbulence modelling, boundary layer climate, air pollution in the boundary layer and

atmospheric dispersion modelling.

MECH6026. Computational fluid dynamics

This course aims to provide practicing engineers and researchers who are learning about

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for the first time with the basic knowledge of

numerical techniques and applications of CFD to solve engineering problems.

Topics include: fundamental concepts and equations of fluid dynamics; finite-difference

method for solving partial differential equations (stability, consistency, convergence,

accuracy and efficiency, and solution of system of algebraic equations); simplified models

for fluid flow (wave equation) and heat transfer (heat equation); grid generation; turbulent

diffusion and shear flow dispersion; numerical solution of transport equations (mass;

momentum and energy transport); applications involving the built environment, air

pollution, atmospheric diffusion and dissipation, power-plant design, land-air- and marine-

vehicle design; etc.

MECH6046. Microsystems for energy, biomedical and consumer electronics

applications (6 credits)

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidics have gradually found numerous

applications in modern energy, mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering

applications. This course aims to provide students with the necessary fundamental

knowledge and experience in the working principles, design, materials, fabrication and

packaging, and applications of MEMS and microfluidic systems. MEMS and microfluidic

devices are emerging platforms for modern engineering applications in biomedicine,

chemistry, material sciences and micro-machines. This is the course that will introduce

graduate students and practicing engineers into the growing field of microsystem engineering.

Practical examples will be given when delivering each major topic. Teaching of the course is

also strengthened with case studies on carefully chosen topics. At the end of this course,

students who fulfill the requirements of this course will be able to: (1) demonstrate ability to

understand the fundamental principles behind MEMS and microfluidic; (2) differentiate

different MEMS and microfluidic techniques and understand their importance in modern

engineering; (3) apply concepts of micro-systems for industrial applications, particularly in

energy, mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering.

Topics include: MEMS and microsystem products; microsensors; microactuators;

microfluidic devices; multidisciplinary nature of microsystem design and manufacture; fluid

mechanics in microscaled flows; materials for MEMS and microfluidic devices; fluid

mechanics in microscaled flows; fabrication techniques of MEMS and microfluidic devices;

flow characterization techniques; flow control with microfluidics; microfluidics for life

sciences and chemistry.

MECH7011. Applied thermodynamics and power plant technology

This course is focused on understanding the operating principles of power plants for the

generation of electric power. The course objectives are to: (1) provide students with the

working principles of various types of power plants, including fossil fuels, nuclear fuels and

renewable energy; and (2) enable students to understand the thermodynamic principles,

emission controls, environmental impact, cycle analysis, component design, plant operation

and control technologies of power plant.

Topics include: sources of energy; thermodynamic properties of states; types of power plants;

portable combustion engines; Brayton cycle; gas turbines; Rankine cycle; steam power

plants; nuclear power plant; solar farm; wind turbines; thermoelectric energy.

MECH7013. Gas engineering

This course is mainly related to gas engineering theories and technologies that are commonly

used in our society in various applications such as power and gas utilities, as well as domestic

and commercial heating appliances. The world gas and energy market will be firstly

highlighted to indicate the importance of the gas as a clean fuel. Then, operation principles

of basic gas production, gas transportation systems and gas utilization systems, their

advantages, and major drawbacks will be taught. The environmental and safety aspects due

to the production, transportation and utilization of the gaseous fuels will also be included in

the course.

IHSS 6003 Food in Chinese Culture: The Past in the Present

Venue: Room 201, 2/F, May Hall, HKU Time: Thursdays 2:00-4:00 PM

Instructor: Prof. Angela K.C. Leung

“You are what you eat” means much more than what the statement appears to convey.

It obviously implies food as self, and as a necessity for health, but also that eating is an act based on deep, complex knowledge about the food and how it is produced. Eating is more than a random, trivial biological act as it expresses cultural memory and moral values of a society. The materiality of a food shapes the knowledge and technology deployed by a society that produces it. Food consumption, on the other hand, is an art of bodily care, managed by the individual and regularized by the state. One way to understand the values and biopolitical governance of a society is to study the making and consuming of foods as crucial materials, and the human and non-human actors involved in the processes. Since the publication of KC Chang’s edited volume on Food in Chinese Culture. Anthropological and Historical Perspectives (1977), many studies have been produced by historians and anthropologists on food in different Chinese societies, past and present, including especially work on post-modern development. It is time to reflect more systematically on changing Chinese food and foodscape up to the present, and to measure the impact of collective memory of pre- modern food culture, considered as “traditional”, on contemporary knowledge and practices, partly in response to the increasingly problematized industrialization and globalization of foods.

This seminar is based on intensive readings of both historical and

anthropological work on food. We begin by looking at traditional Chinese food systems based on indigenous food crops, highlighting rice and soybean, two of China’s five major crops since Antiquity, but of very different materiality, playing different roles in the Chinese foodscape. The former is China’s main staple, and the latter a unique indigenous legume that can be converted into many different food forms by an amazing array of sophisticated techniques, notably fermentation. Taking fermentation as one but not the only example, we trace China‘s changing technological engagement with food production from the artisanal to the industrial period. This will allow us to better understand the process of knowledge production in tandem with evolving health ideology, from traditional “life nourishment” techniques to modern nutritional science.

Finally, making comparisons with other food cultures, we try to understand how Chinese

“traditional” food knowledge and techniques are relevant to the problematized globalization and industrialization of food, and to see if these “traditions” or their re- invention do address those problems, allowing us to imagine the future of Chinese foodscape.

This course is a research & training seminar designed to enable students to develop a critical approach to the study of food culture and technology, to analyse and discuss collectively in class, and to deploy new ideas in a piece of academic work.

The seminar will meet regularly during the spring semester of 2021. Students will be asked to read assigned theoretical and empirical essays (about 100 pages per week) that will be discussed in class. All students are expected to participate actively in class discussions. They will also need to present two pieces of work: 1) a short think piece based on the readings and 2) a final essay on a topic related to one of the themes of the seminar that they will also present in the last class. Students should discuss the topic of their final essay with the teacher before March.

Requirements and Evaluation

The requirements of this class are:

1. Students should attend all classes, read all require readings before coming to class so that they can actively take part in the discussion.

2. Each student should submit a thoughtful think-piece about food culture. Think pieces need to be uploaded to Moodle. For the presentation of the think-piece, students are free in their media choice (video, ppt, comic, blog- writing, images). The presentation of the think-piece will be on March 18.

3. Final research essay related to food: Choose a topic related to any theme that is discussed in class. This final essay should be uploaded to Moodle by Monday May 10, 10 pm and should be no longer than 15 double-spaced pages (including references, Times New Roman 12 pt., 1-inch margins, for references use “author year: page number” format, e.g. 2006:14).

4. Oral presentation of your final essay will be on April 29.

SUBMIT ON TIME: NO LATE SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Your performance in this course will be assessed according to the following criteria:

Participation (active participation in discussions): 25% Presentation of the think piece: 15 % Presentation of final essay: 15 % Final essay: 45%
