Research Student Symposium 2021

Research Student Symposium was held on 4 June 2021. All research students and research staff were invited to submit poster and a total of 46 submissions were received to join this annual event. Best Paper Awards were set up to recognize outstanding papers according to five research areas. Invited EE faculty members were judges to assess and comment the research works of participants. Participants enjoyed the interactions with faculty members and the chance to know more about what other research students are doing. The day rounded off with invaluable exchanges and conversations.

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