Chi Fung Fei won the silver award in the HKEIA project competition. The project is her final-year project under Prof. Lee Tan's supervision. Below is her project description and feeling for receipt of award.
My project was named “Automatic Recognition for Visual Speech Commands”. Under the supervision of Professor Tan LEE, I developed a human-dependent visual-speech recognition method for Cantonese commands identification which is able to identify some simple Cantonese sentences from videos with front face captured, without evaluating audio signals. The method is expected to be used in user-dependent applications that aimed to help people with vocal cords problem, for example ex-Laryngeal cancer patient.
The competition provided students a great chance to apply the theoretical knowledge learnt in the past three years to real world situations. During the project development, I encounter many difficulties and they taught me the importance of multidimensional thinking and perseverance. All these experiences were valuable and cannot gain from textbooks. I was also very grateful for Professor LEE’s support and advice.
Congratulations to Fung Fei!
ZHENG Minhua’s collaboration work with the CARIS Lab during her visit to The University of British Columbia has won the Best Paper Award in the 2014 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction.
Zheng Minhua is a Ph.D. student supervised by Professor Max Q.H. Meng. The awarded paper is titled “Meet Me Where I’m Gazing: How Shared Attention Gaze Affects Human-Robot Handover Timing”. Her visit to UBC was supported by the CUHK Global Scholarship Programme for Research Excellence 2013-2014.
Congratulations!
Dr. Zhenzhou Cheng has been selected to receive the Faculty’s outstanding PhD Thesis Award 2013. His thesis title is "Graphene-on-Silicon Suspended Membrane Planar Lightwave Circuits".
Zhenzhou Cheng was working toward the Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. H. K. Tsang in the Department of Electronic Engineering from 2010 to 2013. He is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the same department. He has won the Hong Kong Research Grant Council Ph.D. Fellowship Award in 2010, and the Young Scientist Award from Hong Kong Institute of Science in 2013. His current research is focused on the silicon suspended membrane devices and graphene-on-silicon devices.
Congratulations!
