Research Student Symposium was held on 19 May 2022. All research students and research staff were invited to submit poster and a total of 64 submissions were received. Selected EE faculty in the related research areas were invited to be judges for deciding winners of the Best Presentation Awards which were set up to recognize outstanding presenters according to five research areas. Participants enjoyed the exchange with faculty members and the chance to know more about what other research students are doing. The day rounded off with invaluable conversations and encouragement.

The judging team was composed of EE faculty members with diverse research background and expertise. They are:
