Congratulations to Prof. CHAI Yang, Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Science and Professor in the Department of Applied Physics, on being elected to the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Fellow Class of 2025 for his contributions to bioinspired in-sensor computing. The Institute is the world’s largest technical professional organisation dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. The IEEE Fellow grade recognises unusual distinction in the profession and is awarded to persons with an outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest.
Prof. Chai was also awarded the BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize 2024 (Artificial Intelligence and Robotics) earlier this year for his contribution to disruptive in-sensor computing paradigms for artificial vision sensors, which enables information processing directly within the sensors. The BOCHK Science and Technology Innovation Prize recognises outstanding scientists and research teams in Hong Kong, or research-related institutions set up by Hong Kong higher education institutions and located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, for their significant achievements in scientific and technological innovation and transformation. Each awardee will receive a HK$2 million cash prize.
Prof. Chai is currently a Management Committee Member of the Research Institute for Intelligent Wearable Systems (RI-IWEAR), and a Member of the Photonics Research Institute (PRI), the Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Research Institute for Smart Energy (RISE) and the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Internet of Things (RIAIoT).
