PhD in Artificial Intelligence, School of Data Science, Lingnan University(DAIS)
Based on the field of artificial intelligence, unite the AI research capabilities of member universities into a rope. The research institute combines an application-oriented doctoral training system and a joint laboratory for industrial applications, enabling the cutting-edge achievements of any university to quickly enter the transformation channel.
A research team is composed of several senior computer experts, who have profound academic attainments and rich industrial practical experience in artificial intelligence, data science, robotics, edge computing, industrial Internet and other fields. The internet spans across Hong Kong, mainland China, and Europe, forming an international research base and providing a natural channel for diverse academic exchanges and two-way landing between the two regions.
With the concept of "application-oriented and industry integration", leveraging the liberal arts tradition of member universities, we inject humanistic care, ethical awareness, and strategic thinking into technical training, and cultivate liberal arts technology talents with a global AI perspective and technology empowerment thinking, promoting industry transformation and upgrading..
Member universities cover data science, engineering, design, business, and humanities, deeply coupling AI with manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and urban governance; Using research institutes as organizational carriers and industrial scenarios as practical soil, we aim to continuously generate innovative momentum from scientific research to implementation at the intersection of disciplines.
The 'translator' and 'connector' between industrial demand and cutting-edge technology
The Industrial AI Application Laboratory is a core research unit under the research institute, serving as an executing entity responsible for scenario research, prototype development, pilot verification, and solution iteration, Focus on the implementation of enterprise business and output commercially viable industrial AI solutions. The laboratory does not engage in pure technical research and development. Its core mission is to: Using AI to solve real industrial problems and create quantifiable economic and social value.

Targeting the food, beverage, and packaging machinery industries, we will integrate robot technology with AI vision and intelligent scheduling to achieve production line flexibility and digital upgrading of packaging processes.

In response to the strong regulatory characteristics of the pharmaceutical industry, we will build compliant intelligent agents and digital management systems to assist pharmaceutical companies in achieving intelligent upgrades under the premise of safety and compliance.

Focusing on the "dual carbon" goal, AI driven research and development of green and low-carbon materials, as well as intelligent operation and maintenance of buildings, make sustainable development a quantifiable technical indicator.

Targeting appearance defects of components PCB、 In scenarios such as surface quality inspection of industrial products, a cloud edge collaborative architecture is adopted, which includes end-to-end collection, real-time edge inference, and cloud based training iteration, to achieve the integration of quality inspection business and security system construction.
Enterprise problem solving, research institute problem-solving, scenario verification, and achievement sharing
Currently, artificial intelligence technology is accelerating its penetration into industries, but there is still a "last mile" gap between technology and real business scenarios. Traditional enterprises generally face challenges in intelligent upgrading Difficult equipment collaboration, difficult data integration, slow exception handling, and uncertain return on investmentWaiting for real challenges. The Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Technology Development Research Institute (HK-AITRI) relies on the Industrial AI Application Laboratory to cooperate with enterprises in a project-based manner, focusing on the real business pain points of enterprises and using AI intelligent agent technology to solve practical problems.
