Four professors of The Chinese University, Prof. Robert Li, Prof. Wang Jun, Prof. Michael Wang and Prof. Y.T. Zhang have been named IEEE Fellow, in recognition of their extraordinary accomplishments in engineering fields. These include Prof. Robert Li's research in network coding and switching theories; Prof. Wang Jun's achievements in recurrent neural networks for optimization and engineering applications; Prof. Michael Wang's work on frictional contact and impact modeling, and robotic workholding and fixturing for manufacturing automation; and Prof. Y.T. Zang's contributions to the field of wearable devices and signal processing algorithms for mobile healthcare.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is the world's largest professional organization, with more than 365,000 members in over 150 countries. IEEE members play a vital role in computer science, electronics, telecommunications and engineering fields. The IEEE fellowship is a prestigious recognition for those members who have made outstanding achievements in the field of engineering. This year, the IEEE's Board of Directors has elected a total of 268 fellows worldwide. Four out of six elected in Hong Kong are professors of The Chinese University, bringing the total number of fellows in CUHK to 16. Currently there are 16 IEEE Fellows at CUHK, which is the largest among all local universities. Besides being honored as an IEEE Fellow, Prof. Y.T. Zhang received the 2006 IEEE-EMBS Service Award for his exceptional and meritorious service to Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) with outstanding contributions to the development and promotion of EMBS conferences, educational activities, and international collaboration. The award was established in 1983 and Prof. Zhang is the only Chinese scientist to receive this prestigious award out of the 14 awardees. Prof. Zhang has also been elected a Fellow of the International Academy of Medicinal and Biological Engineering (FIAMBE) in 2006 where currently there are only 66 Fellows worldwide (49 Fellows and 17 Fellows Emeritus). He is the first Hong Kong Fellow of the International Academy of Medicinal and Biological Engineering. Prof. Zhang's current research focus is on wearable medical instruments and sensors for m-Health. IEEE Fellows teaching at CUHK
