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.
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.
Prof. XU, Jianbin from the Department of Electronic Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), has been elevated to Fellow Grade of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) since 2018. He is being recognized for his contributions to nanoscale electronic materials and devices.
Dr. YUAN, Yixuan obtained PhD degree in the EE department at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), advised by Prof. MENG, Max Qing Hu in July 2016. She was a Postdoc Fellow in the EE department at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) for half a year and currently a post-doctoral research fellow at Stanford Medical School. She received the HKIS 2017 Young Scientist Award in Engineering Science category, competing with other 43 applicants.
Dr. LI, Daxiang, an EE PhD alumnus supervised by Prof. PUN, Kong Pang and currently working at Huawei, won a Best Paper Award at the International SoC Design Conference held from November 5 to 7, 2017 in Seoul, Korea, with the paper “Continuous-time Delta-Sigma modulator with an upfront passive-RC low-pass network”.
