Introduction / 簡介
Professor Way Kuo received his PhD degree in engineering in 1980 from Kansas State University and BS degree in nuclear engineering in 1972 from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan.
He is a Member of US National Academy of Engineering and Academia Sinica in Taiwan, and a Foreign Member of Chinese Academy of Engineering, elected in 2000, 2002 and 2007, respectively. He was elected as an International Fellow by the Canadian Academy of Engineering, to endorse his long-term standing of separation of politics and education. He served as President and University Distinguished Professor of City University of Hong Kong (CityU) between 2008 to 2023. Under his leadership, CityU has been ranked top 100 under various world ranking systems. In recognition of his exemplary service, the Council made an exception to confer him the title of Emeritus President and University Distinguished Professor.
A pioneer in reliability research of systems at their infant stage, Professor Kuo is renowned for his work in designing the reliability of electronics and energy systems. He has co-authored eight academic books and over 200 high impact papers, some of which are deemed classics in systems optimisation design and are used as the basis for establishing the reliability standards. He is well respected for promoting higher education with an emphasis on its relevance to societal needs and problem-driven research.
