The project by Ng Si Ioi (BEng Year 4) and Jiang Yi (MSc Year 1) won the 1st Prize in ICT Category and Innovation Award of the 2018 Challenge Cup (Hong Kong)

Prof. TSANG, Hon Ki is elected a Fellow of the Optical Society (OSA) and is awarded the Outstanding Fellow of the Faculty of Engineering

Prof. TSANG, Hon Ki from the Department of Electronic Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), is elected a Fellow of the Optical Society (OSA) for “For contributions to nonlinear silicon photonics, sub-wavelength silicon waveguide gratings, and hybrid integration of graphene on silicon waveguides. (Engineering and Science Research)”. Fellows are nominated by existing Fellows, and elected by the Fellows Committee. According to the Optical Society, “the number elected each year is limited to approximately 0.5% of the membership total.” In 2018 there were only about 100 Fellows elected from around the world. The Optical Society (OSA) was formerly called Optical Society of America but was renamed as Optical Society to reflect the truly international nature of its membership. Professor Tsang’s group is well known for their contributions to silicon photonics and this award is a recognition of their work including the first silicon waveguide two photon absorption autocorrelation detector, high gain silicon waveguide Raman amplifier, sub-wavelength waveguide grating couplers and graphene on silicon waveguide heterostructure photodetectors.

Paper of Prof. XU, Jianbin's team has been highlighted on the Advanced Science News

Paper of Prof. XU, Jianbin's team in Advanced Energy Materials "Crystallinity Preservation and Ion Migration Suppression through Dual Ion Exchange Strategy for Stable Mixed Perovskite Solar Cells" is highlighted by Advanced Science News, a news outlet to distribute high impact outputs in Advanced Energy Materials (with Impact Factor 10). This research is an inter-institutional collaboration between The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Jinan University, China.
