Dr Martin Zhu is PhD graduate (supervisor: Dr Edwin TSO) from the School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on understanding the fundamentals of heat transfer, energy conversion, and engineered materials. He strives to integrate theory and experiments to create innovative solutions for enhancing phase-changing, air cooling, dehumidifying, thermal management, thermal rectification, micro-droplet manipulation, and energy-efficient building technologies. Incubated by HK Tech 300 programme, Dr Zhu and his team formed the start-up, i2Cool, to commercialise their cooling technologies developed in the laboratory for energy saving. Empowered by self-developed and ever-improving products, as well as fueled by highly adaptive and long-term strategies, i2Cool successfully attracted interest from various sectors of society, creating a significant social impact by contributing to the goal of carbon neutrality.
