Mr. Wei-Mong Tsang, an EE alumnus and a former MPhil student of Prof. S.P. Wong, now studying for his PhD degree in University of Surrey, U.K., has been awarded the E.W. Müller "Outstanding Young Scientist" Award of the International Field Emission Society. This is the highest award given to a student working on field emission by the community. The award was made following his presentation at the joint 19th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference and 50th International Field Emission Symposium, held this July in Guilin, China. This work is a collaboration between the Advanced Technology Institute at the University of Surrey and the Department of Electronic Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Prof. S.P. Wong is one of the co-authors of the award winning paper entitled "Electron field emission properties of Co quantum dots in SiO2 matrix synthesised by ion implantation".

One of early APL papers by an EE team on surface morphology by AFM (C. C. Hsu, Y. C. Lu, J. B. Xu, I. Wilson, Appl. Phys. Lett. 64, 1959 (1994).) has been cited by a recent Science paper by IBM Research Group on Silicon. The journal is very prestigious in science and technology community. The dislocation defect is one of the most important defects in semiconductor materials and very relevant to device performance. The EE's team work has drawn global attention after its publication. Since then AFM has been widely used for surface quality test in various sectors of information technology industry.
One of two Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (OMVPE or MOCVD} inventors - Prof. Stringfellow gave a very positive comment and adopted the steps on GaAs observed by AFM as its cover picture of his book - Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy. OMVPE (or MOCVD) is one of the key technologies for semicondcutor manufacturing.

Prof. Y.T.Zhang has been elevated to IEEE Fellow effective 1 January 2007.
This year there are 268 IEEE fellows newly elevated in the world and there are total 6 from Hong Kong. Among these newly elevated IEEE Fellows, 2 are from HKUST and 4 are from CUHK. And Prof. YT Zhang in our dept. is one of the four at CUHK. Prof. Zhang's achievements and contributions were highly recognized by IEEE. As quoted by the IEEE 2006 President in the email:
* "for contributions to the field of wearable devices and signal processing algorithms for mobile healthcare" *
Two of Prof. K. N. Ngan's papers, who is a Professor in Visual Signal Processing and Communications (VSPC) Laboratory in our department, are among the top cited papers in the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology. One received the fourth most citations in 1998, and the other the second most citations in 1999.

Koo Tak-Kuen John, our graduate of 1992, won the prestigious NSF Career Award of USA, by the project titled "Computation Platform for the Design of Hybrid Systems".
T. John Koo received the B.Eng. degree in Electronic Engineering and the M.Phil. degree in Information Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1992 and 1994, respectively, and the Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 2000. Since August 2003, he has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and the Institute for Software Integrated Systems (ISIS) at Vanderbilt University.
