Congratulations to Prof. Shichang (Steven) Gao on the success of winning AOE Research Award funded by RGC

Prof. Steven Gao, as a Co-Principal Investigator, has been successful in winning the Area of Excellence (AOE) Research Award funded by Research Grants Council (RGC) Hong Kong. AOE is a highly prestigious research award as RGC only approved two such AOE projects in 2023. This AOE project, titled “Advanced Antenna Technology for a Smart World”, has a total funding of over 69 million HKD (over 6.0 million HKD for CUHK), and is the largest research project on antenna technology in HK and Asia-Pacific region. CityU will lead the consortium which involves 8 universities globally including CityU, CUHK, PolyU, HKUST, HKU, Sun Yat-Sen University (China), University College London (UK) and Imperial College London (UK), as well as 24 leading industries globally (from Germany, Italy, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark and China) in areas of tele-communications and IOT, aerospace and earth observation, automotive and sensors, and digital agriculture, such as Thales Alenia Space (Italy), Ericsson (Sweden), German Aerospace Agency DLR (Germany), etc.

The aim of this AOE project is to make Hong Kong become a Global Center of Excellence in the research areas of intelligent antennas, radio propagation, electromagnetic devices and wireless systems. Prof. Gao said “CUHK is very proud of being a key partner in this AOE project. Antennas are the critical technology for future generations of mobile and satellite communication systems (e.g. 6G), IOT and remote sensing (e.g. synthetic aperture radars for environmental monitoring and earth observation). We believe this AOE project will lead to revolutions in antenna technologies and wireless systems, making the world smarter, greener, and more sustainable”.

Our distinguished visiting professor, Prof. Ke WU from the University of Montreal, Canada, delivered his seminar series entitled “Emerging Transceiver Architectures and Technologies for Future Wireless Systems” on 8 August 2023 to EE colleagues and research students.
