PolyU scholar wins APEC top young scientist award for his contribution to bio-circular-green practice research

Dr Ren was selected the region’s top young science researcher of the year for “unfolding new methods to promote an integrated development of the economy, environment and society, including through bio-circular-green practice.” PolyU is the only higher education institution in Hong Kong to have had two young scientists honoured with this prestigious award in a decade.
Dr PASIT Lorterapong, the Deputy Permanent Secretary of Thailand’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, said, “Dr Ren’s research, especially on the development of the circular economy, recycling, industrial systems and supply network optimization, provides us with knowledge and helps us address future environmental and economic challenge.”
Prof. Christopher CHAO, Vice President (Research and Innovation) of PolyU, congratulated Dr Ren and remarked, “PolyU is dedicated to conducting cutting-edge research to achieve sustainable development. As a member of the PolyU Research Centre for Resources Engineering towards Carbon Neutrality, Dr Ren has greatly contributed to sustainability through his influential research, promoting the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. We are proud of our pioneering young scholars who are applying innovative solutions to bring societal advancement to the Asia Pacific region and the world.”
The annual ASPIRE awards recognise young scientists aged below 40 who display excellence in scientific research, as evidenced by scholarly publication and cooperation with scientists from other APEC member economies.
Annually, each APEC economy is invited to nominate one young scientist to be considered for the ASPIRE Prize. Dr Ren stood out among the 13 nominees from other APEC economies in the 2022 ASPIRE exercise, themed “Innovation to achieve economic, environmental, and social goals”.
Dr Ren Jingzheng considers it a great honour to have won the ASPIRE award. He said, “This good news heartens me and gives me renewed impetus to develop carbon-neutral processes for turning waste into wealth, and to achieve zero-waste systems and carbon-neutrality.”
He has proposed innovative processes that can be applied for sustainable design and optimisation of complex industrial systems, energy conservation and emissions mitigation of wastewater treatment processes, valorisation of medical waste and sewage sludge, as well as converting agricultural waste into energy or value-added products.
He plans to promote his new concept of waste-to-energy processes to energy-intensive industries and waste recycling industries of APEC member economies to help their economies transition to bio-circular-green economies.
Dr Ren added, “I am also enthusiastic about organically combining ‘hard technologies’ with ‘soft science’ in order to innovatively break through the limitations of the traditional thinking in industry, and develop carbon-neutral and zero-waste oriented decision support tools and industrial processes to achieve zero carbon emission and 100% waste recycling in industrial systems.”
Dr Ren has published more than 180 journal papers and authored a book, and been cited extensively. He was ranked in the World’s Top 2% Scientists on the Stanford University List in 2020 and 2021.

Pretty Beauty: Summer Skin Aging Stops Today with 10 THERA HIFU
“10THERA”: The Solution to Skin Aging and The Elixir to Youth Recovery
Pretty Beauty has introduced the 10 THERA from TENTECH in South Korea. It is the world’s first dual-linear HIFU equipment which greatly shortens the time required compared to the mono-linear HIFU. High-energy focused ultrasonic technology is used to conduct thermal energy of 60 to 80 degrees Celsius to stimulate the regeneration of elastic fibers and collagen fibers. Along with the fine 4.5 mm and 3.00 mm probes, it penetrates deep into the fascia layer and dermis layer. The focused heat fixates on designated points and eventually all areas of the face are taken care of.
Precise heating of the fascia layer with a 4.5 mm probe tightens and firms the skin to achieve a more three-dimensional facial contour. In addition, the 3.00mm probe brings thermal energy directly to the dermal tissue below the surface layer, triggering the activity of elastomer cells and collagen. The process effectively tightens the sagging position of the skin, smooths wrinkles, and reduces crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, neck stripes, eye lines along with other fine lines.
10 THERA HIFU doubles the speed of the treatment, instantly achieving contour lifting while minimizing pain in the treatment. Even after the treatment is completed, the residual temperature continues to provide energy to the cells, prolonging the cell growth. Youthful and bouncy skin is restored with just a finger snap!
A Quick and Sustainable Fix to Skin Aging
Facing the fierce summer sun, our skin is burdened with the direct UV exposure on the beach and from all kinds of water activities. Long-term exposure to the sun, UVA rays directly penetrate into the epidermis and dermis layer of the skin, chronically destroying the elastic fibers of the skin. This does not just accelerate the aging of the skin, but also causes skin thickening, sagging, wrinkles and other problems.
For all the outdoor enthusiasts and water activity lovers, any first-aid skin hydration cannot reverse the aged skin. With Pretty Beauty’s focus and research, the secret of skin aging is now unraveled, providing a quick and effective solution to prevent skin aging and to improve fine line problems. Whether it is dry lines under the eyes and on both sides of nasal area, deep lines, or nasolabial stripes, etc.,the 10 THERA dual-linear output HIFU can remove these problems. It also repels double chins, tightens the face skin, maintains firmness, and reduces the damage caused by sunlight and UV rays.
