Supervised by Dr Ivan Ho, our MSc in Electronic and Information Engineering Programme student, Guo Jingtao, obtained the Champion of the Tertiary Education Category in the Hong Kong Electronics Project Competition 2022! The competition was organized by the Electronics Division of The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) with the theme of “Advancing Innovation and Technology in New Normal Smart City” this year. It aims to uplift the awareness and knowledge of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in Hong Kong, and to nurture engineers to apply innovative IoT technologies to improve the quality of life. The winning project “Channel State Information (CSI) based Self-quarantine Monitoring System” proposed a system to monitor people under self-quarantine using wireless sensing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The system is user-friendly and privacy-preserving without the use of any wearable devices. The prize presentation ceremony was held in the Hong Kong Electronics Symposium 2022 on 25 July 2022.
