Farewell Get-together for Dr Wallace Tang

It is with considerable reluctance that the Department will lose a long-serving colleague, Dr Wallace Tang, EE Associate Professor, in February due to his early retirement. Dr Tang has served the Department for 26 years since he joined us in 1996, and he is now the Lead of EE Laboratories. A farewell get-together was held on 24 January 2022 to register department’s votes of thanks.

Dr Tang attracted some 70 colleagues to give him a warm send-off through Zoom and on site. We had sincerest sharing and best wishes from friends, making the event a memorable and special one.

Our best wishes to Dr Tang for his new page of life and enjoy!
