Amir ORANGI

Research Fellow of The University of Melbourne, Australia
Exchange to The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong

I was awarded a prestigious 2016 Endeavour Australia Cheung Kong Research Fellowship by the Australian Government. This fellowship enabled me to travel to Hong Kong in September 2016 and undertake a 6-month research program with Professor Yu-Hsing Wang, at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

I was extremely grateful and honoured for the privilege of working with a world-renowned researcher. I continued to develop research ideas about electromagnetic wave-based soil characterisation and cost effective geophysical sensors for geotechnical and geoenvironmental (and agricultural) applications.

I consider this fellowship as an exceptional opportunity for personal and professional development and to advance my research ideas and learn new laboratory experimental skills. I am also very thankful to my supervisors, Dr Guillermo Narsilio and Associate Professor Dongryeol Ryu, without their support, this opportunity would not have become a reality.
