- Scholarship in 2005 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Raymond H. W. Lam is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering Department in the City University of Hong Kong since Sept. 2011. He holds a first honor B.Eng. degree (2003) and an M.Phil. degree (2005) in Automation and Computer-aided Engineering from Chinese University of Hong Kong, and a Ph.D. degree (2010) in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After graduation, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Mechanical Engineering Department in University of Michigan from Sept. 2010 to Aug. 2011. Beside the achievement on academic publications, he obtained various awards including the champion of Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) graduate student paper contest for the Asia-Pacific region in 2005, and the Croucher Foundation Scholarship for 2005-2008. Raymond has interdisciplinary research experience in cell mechanobiology, bacteriology, microfluidics, microfabrication, computational methods, software development and circuit/device design. His overall research objective is to bridge science and engineering knowledge and currently he aims at developing/applying microengineering techniques to advance the cell biology research.
