Professor Ho received his BSc and PhD in chemistry from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China, and was awarded post-doctoral fellowships in Hong Kong, China and Canada. He has wide research interests, including environmental remediation, nanotechnology, solar photocatalysis, air pollution control, indoor air quality and science education. He has had over 175 papers published in international journals, which have been cited about 21,000 times with an h-index of 75. He has been granted more than 10 patents in Europe, Hong Kong, the mainland in China and the US for his research in air purification and disinfection technology.
