Doctor of Philosophy / Master of PhilosophyResearch ProgrammesThe Department is well recognised as a regional centre of excellence in research in the discipline of geomatics and is comparable with international reputed academic units in the discipline as evidenced by our publications and research grants. The department has a Research Centre for Geo-Information Science and Technology that carries out research in some focused areas as described later in the report. For general inquiries about the research programmes, please contact Prof. Zhi-lin Li, Chairman of Departmental Research Committee (tel: 2766 5960; email: lszlli@polyu.edu.hk). For questions on specific research areas, contact can also be made with the staff members listed under each of the research areas.
