Prof Henry Chung Winning Gold Medal at the Silicon Valley International Inventions Festival 2025

Prof Henry Chung (Chair Professor of EE) and Dr TANG Ho Tin (2025 PhD graduate) have been awarded the Gold Medal at the Silicon Valley International Inventions Festival (SVIIF) 2025. The winning project is titled “Innovative Gate Drive Technology: Incorporating Self-adaptive Gate Driving, Health Monitoring, and Crosstalk Mitigation for Wide Band Gap Devices Prevalent in Modern Energy Systems”. Designed for advanced power devices used in modern energy systems, this smart gate driver, i.e. a kind of power amplifier, reduces electrical interference, helps the devices last longer, and checks their condition to keep them running at their best.

SVIIF, the world’s largest innovations competition, showcases cutting-edge inventions from around the world and provides a unique platform for inventors to receive internationally recognized awards for excellence in innovation. More details can be found at CityUHK News Centre.
