The School of Energy and Environment (SEE) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) is proud to share that Prof. Edwin TSO, our Associate Dean (Internationalisation and Outreach), has been awarded the Distinguished Young Scientist Award at the 4^th China Metamaterials Conference (CMMC 2025), held from 15 to 18 May 2025 in Shenzhen, China.

This prestigious award recognizes outstanding early to mid-career researchers who have made significant and impactful contributions to the field of metamaterials. Prof. Tso was honored for his pioneering research in thermal management and radiative cooling technologies, which has advanced both fundamental understanding and practical applications in energy-efficient materials and systems.

At SEE, Prof. Tso leads cutting-edge research in areas including passive radiative cooling, nanostructured thermal materials, and sustainable energy solutions. His innovations have garnered international attention and are being translated into real-world applications aimed at improving energy efficiency and enhancing climate resilience, particularly in regions facing extreme heat and limited energy infrastructure.

The China Metamaterials Conference is a prominent event that draws leading scientists, engineers, and industry experts from across the region and beyond to explore cutting-edge developments in metamaterials and their applications in energy, communications, and advanced manufacturing.

Prof. Tso’s recognition at CMMC 2025 highlights the excellence of SEE’s research community and its commitment to driving innovation in support of global sustainability. We extend our warmest congratulations to Prof. Edwin TSO on this remarkable achievement and look forward to his continued contributions to scientific excellence and sustainable development.
