Changhong LINGHU令狐昌鸿
Presidential Assistant Professor, City University of Hong Kong|Director of I SEE Lab & WISA Center
Prof. Changhong Linghu is a Presidential Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at City University of Hong Kong. He leads the ISEE Lab, which focuses on Interfacial Science and Engineering, and directs the Research Center for Wise Sports and Athletics (WISA) at the CityUHK Shenzhen Research Institute.
Before joining CityUHK, Prof. Linghu was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he worked with Prof. Huajian Gao and Prof. K. Jimmy Hsia. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Nanyang Technological University, and his M.S. and B.E. degrees in Mechanics from Zhejiang University.
His research spans fundamental mechanics, smart materials, robotics, wearable and biomedical technologies, intelligent manufacturing, and data-driven mechanosystems. A central theme of his work is to understand and engineer interfaces — including contact, adhesion, friction, fracture, and interactive boundaries — across physical, biological, and engineered systems.
