Marco Ho, Ph.D. student from the Department of Electronic Engineering (Supervisor: Prof. Alex Leung) has been awarded Best Paper Award at IEEE Student Symposium on Electron Devices & Solid-State Circuits held on December 15, 2011 in Hong Kong. The paper is entitled "A High-Loop-Gain-Bandwidth Nanoscale Low-Dropout Regulator with All Minimum-Channel-Length Transistors" by Marco Ho and Alex Leung.

Mr. Sun Lei and Mr. Wang Lujia, PhD students of Department of Electronic Engineering (Supervisors: Prof. KP Pun and Prof. QH Meng), have been selected to receive an award under the Global Scholarship Programme for Research Excellence – CNOOC Grants for 2011-12. The award is to assist student to undertake a research attachment at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada for 4 months.

Congratulations!

A team by Lo Wing Sum (EE), Pun Chun Wing (EE) and So Ka Yan (BME) won Gold Medal at iGEM.

iGEM stands for International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition, a high-profile competition in synthetic biology among undergraduates from different institutes worldwide. iGEM is held every year in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston, United States. The goal of the competition is to build simple biological systems from standard, interchangeable parts and operate them in living cells. Teams are given about 6 months of time to build their system during the summer break and the autumn.

Prof. Blu's PhD student, Florian Luisier, has been selected to receive a Young Author Best Paper Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society, for a paper on image denoising published in the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (2007). More info...
