Research Overview Institute of Textiles and Clothing
Dr Lam’s main research areas include the co-design process of expressive textile arts and its impact on underprivileged people,
and development of wearable electronics for high fashion.
Creation of Expressive Textile Arts with Under-privileged Groups and its Impact
By implementing the expressive textile arts co-design process, the underprivileged people gained access to their inner
resources for healing, self-awareness and creativity. The underprivileged people can regain positive well-being through
creative design interaction during the practise of co-designing expressive textile arts and further build their confidence
through their participation in styling presentation and exhibition.

The exhibited fashion prototypes were able to sense and react to changing
environments by means of visual communications. A design process model was
implemented and focused on developing illuminative smart fashion prototypes,
which could present various visual expressions in response to changes of proximity,
sound, heat, humidity and pressure from the environment with full consideration
to the aesthetic requirements of contemporary fashion styling, and technological
characteristics of illuminative material, circuit layout design, sensors, and wireless
communication devices. This practice-based research provided valuable contributions
to the field of fashion and textile design.
Future Research
The future research includes investigating the effectiveness of inclusive design and fashion creativity with excluded
communities. The adoption of expressive textile arts and fashion creativity as a caring medium will spread to a wider
community feasibly and flexibly for different underprivileged groups, such as people with dementia, intellectual disability,
students with special education needs and vulnerable groups in developing countries.

Research Overview Institute of Textiles and Clothing
Dr Lo published his researches on sustainability, environmental, safety and health (EHS) management in top-tier journals, such
as Manufacturing and Service Operations Management, Organization Science, Journal of Operations Management, and Journal
of Business Ethics. His works influence senior management decisions and assist managers to make better operations
decisions, which are not only improving business efficiency but also building a better world for our next generation. EHS issues
are particular important for fashion industry, because today’s customers expect transparent and responsible production of fashion
products. Dr Lo’s studies could help brands to formulate better sustainability strategy in their operations.
Dr Lo also conducts applied researches. Dr Lo has extensive industry experience in information system design and development
prior became a faculty. He participated in consultancy projects that use mobile applications for production line quality
management, supplier management, and warehouse management. He also adopted big data analytics, augmented reality and
artificial intelligence in his latest consultancy projects with the fashion industry.
Research Highlight 1
Based on 3945 publically listed US Firms, this works identify the complex interaction relationships between safety performance
and firms slack resources (operational and financial), market characteristics (Munificence, dynamism, and complexity). The
results show that decreasing operational slack harms workers and that this effect is mitigated when firms hold higher levels of
financial slack. Furthermore, the external market environment also plays a crucial role in the operational slack-safety relationship.
For example, the left figure shows that (blue line) for a firm in high munificence market, having a higher level of coupling (i.e.,
measured as reversed inventory days) will lead to significant higher probability of having safety violation. The right figure shows
that (blue line) if the firm has high level of financial slack (measured as absorbed slack), will bring down the likelihood of safety
violation, despite the firm is highly coupled (i.e., high reversed inventory days).

Research Highlight 2
This research won the responsible research in management award 2017, jointly presented by the International Association for
Chinese Management Scholar (IACMR), and Responsible Research in Business and Management (RRBM). IACMR is the most
authoritative, world-class academic research organization in the area of Chinese management, with over 8000 members across
100 countries. This is the first study that document the environmental pollutions in upstream supplier (i.e., China in this study)
could affect the customers’ stock return, proving that sourcing from a responsible supplier would bring financial gain, while
picking an irresponsible one will lead to negative financial consequences. This study also find that personal political ties could
be a double- edged sword, as it will bring more negative abnormal return to violating firms.

Research Overview
Solar Control Materials & Transparent Conductors
Modified metal oxide systems can be made to confer IR- and/ or UV-protective capabilities. This has potential applications
in thermophysiological comfort, UV-protection and related applications. We are currently working on wet chemical synthesis
and analysis methods for the durable incorporation of various thermally-responsive phase change systems onto soft matter
substrates for controllable and reversible smart material responses over a desired temperature range.
Antimicrobial Materials & Medical Textiles
The growing worldwide threat from multi- drug resistant bacteria has recently been highlighted by the World Health Organisation,
amongst others. New and effective infection-prevention strategies are needed to save lives and improve clinical outcomes
worldwide. Materials with biocidal capability are one such possibility. We are currently investigating and optimizing the experimental
performance of nanoparticle-incorporated soft matter to i) enhance antibacterial and photo-degradative capabilities, and
ii) increase durability of adhesion.

Research Overview
Protection and comfort of human under various environmental conditions are important for safety and effective performance.
Clothing is an interface between human and environments therefore it plays a crucial role. Global warming, heat waves and high
energy demands are leading to investigate innovative clothing system to provide comfort to the wearers. It is very important
to understand mechanisms of heat and mass transfer through clothing for designing better clothing leading to better thermal
comfort and safety.
Thermal Comfort & Smart Personal Cooling Clothing
Personal cooling clothing system (PCS) involving ventilation clothing, PCM incorporated clothing and hybrid personal cooling
clothing are developed and analysed. Performance of different PCSs were analysed under various working environments involving
indoor and outdoor conditions. Our research reveals that personal cooling clothing is an effective solution to deal with heat wave
scenarios and to ensure safety and comfort of wearers.
Numerical Simulation of Heat & Mass Transfer through Clothing
Protective performance of clothing under different type of high heat exposures is analysed numerically. A coupled radiation-CFD
model is developed to analyse heat transfer through the fabric-air gap-human skin system of protective clothing. Effects of
clothing thickness, air gap orientation and width are analysed on the second degree skin burn injury.

Research Overview
Prof. Wong’s main research focus include artificial intelligence, computer vision, particularly in image feature extraction, pattern
recognition and machine learning and its applications for fashion and textile industry, such as key point detection and fashion
attribute recognition on fashion image, computer vision based textile material defect detection and apparel product size
measurement.
Sparse Learning Theory for Object Recognition
Tensors provide the most natural representation of multimodal data, such as video, and can preserve the entire 3D
spatio-temporal characteristics of video frames. Three key theories/frameworks and their applications have been successfully
developed and validated, namely (1) Joint sparse tensor learning theory for visual object recognition (JTFA), (2) Sparse linear
and nonlinear embedding theory for face recognition (SLE and SKE) and (3) A unified sparse alignment framework for tensor
learning (STA). The proposed algorithms can greatly improve the practicability and robustness of sparse feature extraction
and selection, and provide novel insights on high-dimensional and multimodal data analysis and key feature selection.
(1) Gait recognition (2) Face recognition (3) Hand gesture recognition
FashionAI Dataset
Collaborating with the Alibaba Group, this project is to establish the first-of-its-kind “FashionAI Dataset” for solving two
fundamental problems of machine learning on fashion images: “apparel key points detection” and “fashion attribute
recognition”. Establishment of FashionAI Dataset with apparel key points (e.g. neckline, cuff, waistline) and fashion attributes
(e.g. sleeve length, collar type, skirt style) enables the computer to effectively and efficiently understand the fashion image
which is fundamental for deep learning and recognition algorithms. The FashionAI Dataset would help improve the accuracy
of online fashion image searching, enhance effectiveness of cross-selling and up-selling, create innovative buying experience
and facilitate customization of online shopping platforms.
Automatic Textile Material Inspection System Institute of Textiles and Clothing
Today, almost all textile mills and apparel manufacturing enterprises still rely on manual visual methods to inspect textile
materials. However, labours are subject to fatigue and boredom, and thus inspection results are often unreliable and
inconsistent. An automatic inspection system, named “WiseEye”, can automatically locate and measure defects on most
types of moving woven fabrics with different weaving structures and solid colours on a real-time basis.

Research Overview
Employee Satisfaction and Operational Performance in High-contact Service Industries
• This research examines the impact of employee satisfaction on operational performance in the high-contact service industry.
• The findings show that firm profitability has a moderate non-recursive effect on employee satisfaction, leading to a
“satisfaction-quality-profit cycle”.
• Employee satisfaction is a necessary consideration for operations managers to boost service quality and customer
satisfaction in the high-contact service sector.
Leadership and Goal Orientation in High-contact Service Industries
• This research investigates several attitudinal and motivational factors of customer-contact employees, and the
management style of managers as antecedents to service quality in high-contact service sectors.
• The results demonstrate that learning goal orientation is more effective than performance goal orientation in fostering
service quality.
• The findings also show that transformational leadership tends to be more effective than transactional leadership in
influencing employee attitude.
• The knowledge and skills resulting from a desire to learn are important for high-contact service employees to deal with
challenging customer requirements.
• The idealized influence, inspiration, motivation, and personalized care offered by a transformational leader would be
more effective than practices such as contingent rewards and management-by-exception employed by a transactional
leader.
Work Relationship on Service Quality
• This research examines the relative impacts of leader-member exchange and job satisfaction on service performance in
labour-intensive, high-contact services.
• The results show that, contrary to traditional wisdom, job satisfaction does not impact service quality, once leader
member exchange is included in the model.
• Work relationships between employees and their supervisors impact service quality more directly than job satisfaction does in
the labour-intensive, high-contact service sector.

Research Overview Institute of Textiles and Clothing
Dr Yick has carried out a number of research projects to enhance the design, fit, comfort and fabrication of patient clothing and
footwear. The projects involve three-dimensional body scanning, body motion capturing, evaluation of fabric thermal properties,
numerical simulation of garment pressure and biomechanical design of garments and/or footwear. Recently, she focuses on the
design and development of geriatric footwear with the aim of improving the plantar pressure and body balance of elderly people
for better foot protection and comfort. Since toe box design is a crucial element for comfort in high-heeled shoes, whilst foot
measurements are traditionally taken under a foot-flat condition, a rapid 3D foot scanning system has been developed to acquire
3D foot anthropometric measurements of elevated heels.
