理大兩名優秀青年學者憑藉在催化科學及先進製造技術領域的創新科研成就，成功入選2025年《麻省理工科技評論》「35歲以下科技創新35人」中國區名單。化學系副系主任兼副教授勞子桓教授，以及工業及系統工程學系助理教授（研究）呂佳欣博士，分別入選「遠見者」和「發明家」組別，表彰他們將經典傳統技術轉化全新應用，以及研發尖端新技術的卓越貢獻。
勞子桓教授建構同步共振軟 X 射線衍射（RSXRD）技術，成功突破傳統技術極限，在國際上首次實現工業級分子篩骨架鋁原子及「鋁對」的三維空間精確定位。該項標誌性成果於 2025 年在頂尖學術期刊《Science》發表，為分子篩的理性設計提供了確定性的原子級判據，徹底打破困擾數十年的活性位元點「物理黑箱」。
呂佳欣博士 開發出「多筒擠壓寬幅成形技術」，突破性地實現超寬薄壁輕合金構件的一體化製造，打破過往需要分段拼焊的局限。該技術將型材寬度提升至傳統方法的三倍以上，同時降低70%–90%的擠壓力。圍繞這一突破，她從而建立多尺度材料模型，結合人工智能輔助優化，大幅縮短產品開發週期，並以主要發明人和專利權人身份完成四項跨國核心專利。
Two outstanding young scholars from PolyU, Prof Tsz-woon Benedict LO, Associate Head and Associate Professor of the Department of Chemistry, and Dr Jiaxin LV, Research Assistant Professor of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, have been named on the 2025 “MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35 China” (TR35 China) list in the “Visionaries” and “Inventors” categories, respectively. They are recognised for their pioneering research achievements in catalytic science and advanced manufacturing technologies, honouring their excellence in transforming classic technologies into novel applications and developing new cutting-edge technologies.
Prof. Lo developed the synchrotron resonant soft X-ray diffraction (RSXRD) technique, achieving a major breakthrough beyond the limits of conventional methods. In an international first, his work enables, the three-dimensional atomic-resolution mapping of framework aluminium (Al) in industrial-grade zeolite catalysts. This landmark achievement, published in Science in 2025, provides atomic-level evidence for the rational design of zeolites, definitively resolving the decades-long “black box” surrounding the precise spatial arrangement of active sites.
Dr Lv developed the Multi-container Extrusion (MCE) technology, which enables the integrated, seamless manufacturing of ultra-wide, thin-walled light alloy components that previously required segmented welding. This innovation increases profile width to more than three times that of traditional methods while reducing extrusion pressure by 70% to 90%. By establishing multi-scale material models and integrating artificial intelligence-assisted optimisation, she has significantly shortened product development cycles, holding four cross-border core patents as the primary inventor and patentee.
