Academic Staff Dr HO Man Fong Christabel 何曼芳博士 BSc (Hon), MSc, AAIQS, MCIOB, MAIB Department of of Building and and Real Real Estate Dr TSANG Wai Fan Steven 曾偉藩博士 BSc, PhD, FASI, FCIOB, FIConstE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR Telephone no.: (852) 2766-5871 Email address: bscrysta@polyu.edu.hk Teaching areas Construction Management, Procurement and Contract Administration, Building Measurement Research interests Construction Management, Professional Ethics, Quantity Surveying Practices Biography Dr Ho worked for the construction industry in the field of Quantity Surveying before switching to academia. She is a Chartered Quantity Surveyor and Building Engineer by profession. She is a member of both the Chartered Institute of Building and the Australian Institute of Building. She is also a member of the Australia Institute of Quantity Surveyor. She completed her PhD at the University of New South Wales, Australia. Her current research interests are in professional ethics and construction management. Dr NI Meng 倪萌博士 BSc, MSc, PhD ASSISTANT PROFESSOR Telephone no.: (852) 2766-5812 Email address: bstwf@polyu.edu.hk Teaching areas Building Maintenance and Operation, Construction Materials, Building Maintenance for Sustainability Research interests Structural and Material Testing (especially Forced Vibration/Modal Testing, Building Diagnostics and Condition Monitoring based on a Host of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) such as Infrared Thermography, Ultrasonics and Electromagnetic (EM) Wave), GFRP (for Strengthening of Concrete Structures), Harnessing of Solar Energy by Fluid-Filled Double-Glazed Glass Panels in Windows (for Building Sustainability) Biography Dr Tsang has very wide interests as shown in the list of areas of interests. He previously worked as a government scientist for the UK Ministry of Defense (attached to the Royal Navy) before returning to HK. His personal philosophy is encapsulated in a well-known English idiom, “Seeing is Believing”. This idiom emphasizes that “only physical or concrete evidence is convincing” and asserts the need for experimental testing. Indeed, any theory/assertion needs to be tested/validated before it can be accepted as “true” or “real”. He also believes that “real performance/behaviours of materials/structures/systems can only be determined through testing”. This philosophy very much underpins and intertwines with his teaching and research. NDT techniques allow one to investigate/probe the subject of investigation without damaging or destructive actions. The extra information obtained through acoustic, thermal, EM and vibration allows one to understand more and to identify the real problems (which are usually hidden from direct sighting) with the subject of investigation. He also believes the need to advance the frontier of science and technology by exploring new techniques as well as adopting innovative approaches. Dr WONG K.W. Johnny 黃國偉博士 BSc (Hons), MSc, PhD, AAIQS, MRICS ASSISTANT PROFESSOR Telephone no.: (852) 2766-4152 Email address: bsmengni@polyu.edu.hk Teaching areas Environmental Science, Building Services, Structural Analysis Research interests Renewable and Clean Energy Technologies (including Solar Energy, Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Energy), Numerical Heat and Mass Transfer, Building Services Biography Dr Meng NI received his Bachelor and Master degrees in Aero-engine engineering from Northwestern Polytechnic University (China) in 2000 and 2003, respectively.
