Prof. Y.T.Zhang has been selected by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society as the recipient of the 2006 EMBS Service Award.
As quoted:
"exceptional and meritorious service to the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) with outstanding contributions to the development and promotion of EMBS’ conferences, educational activities, and international collaboration."
The recognition associated with this award consists of an engraved plaque, a honorarium and a reimbursement for travel, registration and accommodation expenses to attend the awards presentation ceremony, which will be held at New York.
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.

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".

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.
