Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study
This international centre of excellence brings together an interdisciplinary team of world-renowned scholars and researchers, including Nobel laureates and academicians, to seek answers to the world’s most pressing problems.
State Key Laboratory of Terahertz and Millimeter Waves
The first such laboratory in the engineering discipline in Hong Kong, it focuses on research into the principal theories and applications of millimeter wave and terahertz technology. Key research areas include antenna design, RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit) design, and fast computational techniques.
Building compact system for terahertz technology & 6G communications
- Advancing terahertz (THz) technology for 6G communications, imaging and spectroscopy through research of multidisciplinary experts at State Key Laboratory of Terahertz and Millimeter Waves (SKLTMW)
- Developing high-performance antennas for 6G communication at frequency of 0.2 to 0.5 THz
- Investigating how THz imaging can identify cancerous tissue more precisely and changes in tumour cells for drug testing
- Building high-resolution antenna measurement system for higher millimetre and THz wave bands for R&D in academia and industry
State Key Laboratory of Marine Pollution
Identifying major threats to the local and regional marine environment, and developing tools to address them, is the primary mission of this major Laboratory.
UN-endorsed CityU project on monitoring global estuaries
- Initiating a 10-year UN-endorsed "Global Estuaries Monitoring (GEM)" programme at State Key Laboratory of Marine Pollution (SKLMP)
- Studying environmental pollutants in estuaries of major cities world-wide for long-term policies on promoting clean estuaries through GEM programme
- Commencing 1st phase of GEM study in May 2022 in major urbanised estuaries in southern hemisphere; extending to northern hemisphere in November 2022
