Dr. Wallace Woon-Fong Leung is a Distinguished Research Professor
from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He was formerly Chair
Professor of Innovative Products and Technologies (2005-2020) and
founder and Director of Research Institute of Innovative Products
and Technologies (2005-2011) in the same University. He has worked
in filtration and separation for 45 years both in industry in the
US and academia in Hong Kong from membrane filtration,
sedimentation, vacuum filter, centrifugation, air filtration, and
photocatalytic oxidation. He has 52 US patents, single-authored 3
books, several handbook chapters, and over 80 SCI papers. He has
trained many engineers and graduated 9 PhD students. He is a fellow
respectively of AICHE, ASME, AFS, HKIE, and Hong Kong Academy of
Engineering Sciences. He is the Chairman of International
Delegation on Filtration, 2016 – 2022, with 13 member countries
worldwide and Chairman of the 9th and 13th World Filtration
Congress in 2004 and 2022, respectively. He received his BSc from
Cornell, and both SMME and ScD from MIT. In 2015, he has received
the Frank Tiller Award for his lifetime contribution in engineering
and education on filtration and separation technologies by the
American Filtration and Separations Society.
Dr. Leung is also a multidisciplinary engineer, scientist, and
educator with international academic and industrial experiences.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, he has deployed his invented
nanofiber technologies in mass production of highly protective,
highly breathable facemasks for the public railroad.
