Dr. Alex Siu Hong Lau received his MEng (1st Hons) degrees from Imperial College London in 2006, and obtained his PhD degree in computational aeroacoustics in 2013 from the University of Southampton. He worked as a post-doctoral research fellow in the Aeronautics and Flight Mechanics Research Group of the University of Southampton between 2013 and 2016, and in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology between 2016 and 2018. After that, he worked as a part-time lecturer in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. From 2019 to 2023, he worked as a tutor and taught mathematics (linear algebra) and structural analysis in the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Hong Kong. He joined the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2023 as a lecturer. Dr. Lau is interested in animal flight aerodynamics, and computational and theoretical aeroacoustics research.
