S.L. Ho obtained both his BSc (first class honours) and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Warwick. When he was reading for his PhD degree he also worked as a part-time project engineer at the Glynwed Central Resources Unit. He produced a number of patents in patient support systems during his research studies. The product was also commercialised and licensed world-wide by the time he finished his PhD studies.

He then joined the then Hong Kong Polytechnic as Assistant Lecturer and is currently the Head of the Department and Chair Professor in Electricity Utilisation.

S.L. Ho is very active in the areas of machine design, phantom loading of motors, condition monitoring of electrical machines and traction engineering. During the past decade, he has been actively involved in many railway projects and, under his leadership, has set up a PolyU-KCRC Smart Railway Research Laboratory at the PolyU. Recently, he has been leading a team of experts from many different Departments of the PolyU in the development of novel condition monitoring systems for the electrical industry.

He has undertaken a large number of consultancy projects and is the recipient of the Most Active Consultant Awards of the PolyU in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007. He also served as the technical advisor to the Government on railway related studies.

Last but not the least, he has been the leading technical expert to look into critical issues such as the train body underframe cracks (in 2006) and voltage transformer failures on the roof top of a train (in 2007).
