Summary

With a back ground of building service, Cheng is an enthusiastic academic specialising in sustainable technologies and low-carbon solutions in buildings.

With respect to academic research, Cheng has shown a consistent focus on developing innovative low-carbon technologies and energy-efficient solutions. Beginning with a PhD in Low Impact Buildings from Coventry University, Cheng's work centred on the development of a thermochemical energy storage system for residential use. Cheng’s expertise expanded through roles as a researcher and later as a lecturer at the University of Hull, where he participated in a series of high-impact research projects in the fields of advanced heating and cooling, renewable energy integration, and energy storage. Cheng's work has spanned a wide range of applications, including residential homes, non-residential buildings, and industrial processes, demonstrating the ability to address energy efficiency and sustainability challenges across various sectors.

As a Lecturer in Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technologies, Cheng integrates the latest research into teaching, creating a dynamic learning environment that connects theoretical concepts with their practical applications. In the rapidly evolving field of energy efficiency and sustainability, this approach ensures that students not only grasp the foundational principles but also understand how to apply them in real-world scenarios. Cheng aims to equip the next generation of engineers and energy professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to drive innovation and achieve long-term sustainability.
