Three research projects of the University of Macau (UM) are being showcased at the 2024 Macao International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition (2024 MIECF), attracting great attention from guests and attendees. The UM research teams have also established business connections with several enterprises. The event has effectively enhanced the impact of UM’s research results and promoted the exchange and cooperation between the university and enterprises in the field of environmental protection.

The university has conducted research on smart energy, energy conservation, environmental protection, and wastewater treatment, and has obtained more than 30 patents in these fields. The research projects showcased at the exhibition include (1) ‘Chip Design for Device-to-Device Bi-Directional Charging’ developed by Lu Yan, professor at the State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI; (2) ‘Applications of Multi-copter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for Atmospheric Measurements in South China’ developed by Li Yongjie, associate professor in the Faculty of Science and Technology; and (3) ‘Macau BioPeTech Eco-friendly BSG Cat Litter’ developed by an entrepreneurial team of a UM residential college.
