This seminar highlighted the studies in 4H-SiC of defects (qubits), integrated within photonic amplifiers. There was lively discussion after the presentation fostering in-depth exchanges among faculty, researchers and students. She also met with our new faculty and joined the science and engineering female faculty meeting to share her insights and visions with us.
This seminar aimed at exploring trade war and its relationship to IP protection as well as providing legal advice to protect important research and business information. During the visit, she also joined the science and engineering female faculty meeting. Her sharing at the seminar and the meeting stimulated vibrant discussion among faculty, researchers and students.
CityU EE Joint Lab is a “Government-Industry-Academic-Research Centre” scheme for collaboration between EE Department and industrial associations, research centres, corporates and organisations. This scheme includes physical lab logo wall setup in the EE Department; an online platform linked up with the EE Department website to share the progress of collaboration and projects; a series of regular networking events for industrialists, faculty members, and students, etc.. The Joint Lab aims to empower recruitment, research collaboration, commercialisation, and technology transfer.
Among the award recipients were 23 EE professors, technical staff and administrative staff who have worked at CityU for 10 years to 30 years. Some of them who have served the University for 25 years or 30 years were presented awards by President Kuo and senior management at the ceremony.

Prof Ron Chen, Dr Cheng Wang and Prof Moshe Zukerman were invited to have lunch with DAC members during which their recent research works were presented fostering academic-industry collaborations.
This year, some 40 staff attended the retreat held at the Aberdeen Marina Club on 6 January 2020. Group discussions on topics ‘Students and Faculty Recruitment’, ‘Teaching Quality’, ‘EE Strategic Focused Areas and University Strategic Focused Areas: “Matter” and “Brain”’, and ‘Qualifying Examination’ have led to a solid implementation plan of actions. Besides, the team building activities were so enjoyable and served as a good chance to know the different big talents of our faculty!
It was a valuable occasion where faculty members and students gathered and mingled with each other so as to exchange ideas on teaching and learning, and build up connections. Everyone enjoyed the fruitful knowledge exchange in this event. It also served the purpose to celebrate the hard work of a year and welcome another good year.
The EE workshop titled 「精靈寶可夢的人工智能工作坊」conducted by Dr Ray Cheung, Associate Professor of Department of Electrical Engineering, attracted over 70 participants as an exciting kick-start for the workshop series. Students found the online teaching platform interactive which got them an early taste of prevailing technological topics such as Artificial Intelligence in EE.
Under this research, a library of spreading profiles and corresponding model parameters is to be established based on the current results obtained for more accurate estimation of future outbreak in a specific population. Current progress has included Europe, Japan, South Korea, Iran, and more.
