Dr. Delin Hu, Postdoctoral Fellow from Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, has received the inaugural JC STEM Early Career Research Fellowship for Translation and Application. This fellowship will support his research on AI-assisted optimal design, perception, and control of miniature magnetic robots, with the aim of enhancing the precision and automation of minimally invasive interventions using innovative AI tools.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (“the Trust”) has set up the JC STEM Early Career Research Fellowship for Translation and Application (“the Fellowship”) as a strategic initiative to nurture a pool of promising STEM post-doctoral researchers who aspire to translate scientific research into industry application. The Fellowship will provide comprehensive support and unique opportunity to help them develop their research and innovation career, expand their professional network and create social impact. The Research Grants Council (“RGC”) of Hong Kong is a Partner Organisation of this Fellowship. All eight University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded universities may nominate up to 10 nominees for the Fellowship in this exercise.

Dr. Delin Hu is the awardee of The Chinese University of Hong Kong for this inaugural cohort of the Fellowship. He joined Professor Zhang Li’s research group as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 2023 after completing his PhD at The University of Edinburgh. His current research interest lies in AI-assisted manipulation of miniature robots for minimally invasive interventions, implantable and flexible sensors for deep tissue monitoring and learning-based perception for soft robots and miniature machines.
