Prof. XU, Jian Bin named as Member of Editorial Advisory Board of ACS Nano
Prof. XU, Jian Bin has recently been elected to the Editorial Advisory Board of ACS Nano, a globally top journal on nanoscience and nanotechnology. The journal is presumably the largest one on nanoscience and nanotechnology worldwide. The composition of the Board consists of numerous distinguished scholars in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The notable figures there include, Prof. Chunli Bai, President of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Prof. C. N. R. Rao, National Research Professor of India; Prof. John Rogers, Member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Inventors, and the National Academy of Medicine; Prof. Christoph Gerber, an inventor of atomic force microscope; et al.

The extraordinarily high level of financial support in nanoscience and nanotechnology explicitly manifests its perceived importance for a whole range of technologies in the coming 20 years or so. The 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics, and the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics have been awarded to three discovers of fullerene, two discovers of GMR, and two discovers of graphene, respectively. These unequivocally ascertain the importance of nanoscience and nanotechnology. GMR is now widely used in PC hard disks data centers for achieving ultra-high density of data storage. The discovery is considered as one of the first real applications of the promising field of nanotechnology, as heralded by the Nobel Prize Committee.
Prof. SHU, Chester Ching Tat elected Optica Fellow (formerly OSA) 2022
Prof. SHU, Chester Ching Tat from the Department of Electronic Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), has been elected to Optica Fellow (formerly OSA) 2022 for "For seminal contributions to effective control and processing of optical signals in communications". This is an award and honor for "distinction in the advancement of optics and photonics through distinguished contributions to education, research, engineering, business and society." Every year no more than 0.5% of Optica members (~100) can be elected Fellows.
Congratulations!

"Save mum's voice" -- a meaningful application AI based text-to-speech
Professor Lee Tan’s team helped an oral cancer patient who lost her natural voice after surgery to “speak” again in her own voice. This was done using a tailored text-to-speech system based on deep learning models. The patient can communicate with others by typing words or sentences in the App and the App will generate speech in the patient's own voice. The team is improving the technology in the hope of helping more people in need in the future.
