Ir Professor Joseph Lee Hun-wei, Vice-President for Research and Graduate Studies of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, is recognised internationally for his contributions in hydraulic engineering – in particular the theory of buoyant jets and its applications to environmental engineering. His methods for prediction of mixing of wastewater jets in moving water have been used internationally for sea outfall design and environmental impact assessment. He is the Immediate Past President of the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences and Vice-President of the International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR) from 2007 – 2011. He has contributed significantly to innovative flood control and water quality modelling for fisheries management in Hong Kong. He was elected to the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK, in 2008.
