Zhenzhong Chen, a PhD Student from the Visual Signal Processing and Communications Lab, has won the prestigious Microsoft Fellowship award which carries a US$6000 scholarship and an internship at the Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) in Beijing. Microsoft Fellows are selected from the very best of PhD students in the 50+ top universities in Asia after a competitive process. Winning this means not only 6,000 USD scholarship, but honor and recognition. The scholarship will be awarded at a ceremony during the MSRA Faculty Summit in Beijing later in the year(2005).
This is the second time our department has received the prestigious Microsoft Fellowship Award. In 2003, Qian Yao of the DSP Lab was the recipient of the Award.
Congratulations, Zhenzhong!
Zhenzhong Chen receives the coveted Microsoft Fellowship award from Microsoft Senior Vice-President (Research), Dr Rick Rashid on 4th Nov, 2005:

The conference was held from 24th to 27th April 2005, co-sponsored by the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE). It is one of the most flourishing conferences, reflecting rapid growth of Asian-Pacific region in both scientific and economic sense.
Dr. Tak-keung Liang, PhD graduate of our Department last year, has won the HKIS Young Scientist Award 2005, Engineering Science Panel. The award was annouced and presented at the Annual Conference of Hong Kong Institution of Science held at Polytechnic Univ last Saturday. The title of his work is "Optical amplifiers and nonlinear switching devices on silicon waveguides". The thesis supervisor of Dr. Liang is Prof. HK Tsang.
Dr. Liang won the Outstanding Thesis Award 2004 of Engineering Faculty, CUHK for his thesis entitled "Silicon Planar Lightwave Circuits: Raman Amplification and Polarization Processing" last year and is also one of the recipients of the Award for the Best Research Output by Research Postgraduate Students 2004, CUHK. He is now working in National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan.
Congratulations to Dr. Liang and Prof. Tsang !
An outstanding paper award was presented to Optoelectronics Lab members in the International Symposium on Technology Fusion of Optoelectronic and Communications, Taipei, May 17-22, 2005 for the paper entitled "Optical Pulse Repetition-Rate Multiplication by Spectral Elimination Using a Birefringence Loop Mirror Filter" by M. P. Fok, W. W. Tang, and C. Shu.
