Outstanding Student Award and Presidential Student Leadership Award 2022

Congratulations to Mr. Ong Chin Yuan and Mr. Tsao Yu-jui, students of BSc (Hons) in Engineering Physics, on receiving the Outstanding Student Award of Faculty 2022 and the Presidential Student Leadership Award of Department 2022 respectively. The Outstanding Student Award aims to motivate students to excel in their academic pursuits as well as to strive for personal development. We are pleased to announce that this award went to Mr. Ong Chin Yuan at the Faculty level. The Presidential Student Leadership Award aims to recognise and honour outstanding student leaders who possess, display, and apply exemplary leadership qualities and skills, demonstrated in both the University and the wider community. Mr. Tsao Yu-jui received the Departmental Award in recognition of his impressive leadership capabilities. Let's applaud them for their excellent work and contributions to the PolyU so far!  

Prof Yang CHAI's research was recognized as one of the Top Ten Hong Kong Innovative Technology News 2022

Prof. Yang CHAI, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Science and Professor of the Department of Applied Physics, led a research project to develop new vision sensors that emulate and even surpass the human retina’s ability to adapt to various lighting levels. His research “Advanced Vision Sensor with Human Eye Adaptability” was publicly recognized as one of the "Top Ten Hong Kong Innovation and Technology News 2022”.  The Beijing-Hong Kong Academic Exchange Centre is the organizer of selecting “The Top 10 Hong Kong Innovative Technology News 2022”. Universities in Hong Kong were invited to nominate research news related to local science and technology innovation. The Advisory Board which is composed of academicians in Hong Kong from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering Sciences selected thirty of the most influential news for public voting.   The research was published in Nature Electronics.

Department of Applied Physics Retiree Scholarship

Objective: To recognize the efforts of undergraduate students in the Department of Applied Physics, who demonstrate exceptional non-academic achievements, contributing positively to the university community or society at large. The scope and extent of contributions will be elaborated by applicants and judged by a panel of Academic Staff members. Scholarship: HKD 10,000 for each award Eligibility Criteria: Applicants must be currently registered for undergraduate degree programme in AP. If the application involves activities that include both AP and non-AP students, only the AP students concerned are eligible for application. Student’s should not have any disciplinary/ criminal record during her/his study. Applicants must have demonstrated outstanding achievements, which is not necessarily academic-related. These may include, but are not limited to: Leadership roles in established organizations or community projects with significant contributions; Significant achievement in arts, sports, cultural or academic activities (e.g. 1st prize in international competitions); Start-up business with significant impact; Prominent scholarly contributions (e.g. publication of high-impact research papers as first authors; best poster award in major international conferences) Other notable achievements that have brought recognition to the University or Department. Academic performance of the applicant is NOT part of the selection criteria. Prize: Recipients will be presented with a certificate, alongside with the cash prize. Recipients concerned have the responsibility to participate in related promotion activities (interview or joining of activities).    For further information, please feel free to contact .

Prof. Jianhua Hao awarded Key Programme Funding Support from the National Science Foundation of China (NSFC)

Prof. Jianhua HAO, Chair Professor of Materials Physics and Devices of AP received Key Programme Funding Support from the National Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Prof Hao's team collaborates with researchers from Nankai University and Sichuan Normal University to perform the study of multifunctional ultrathin ferroelectric integrated materials and devices for neuromorphic computing and artificial visual system. The study is to effectively integrate ferroelectric polarization with multifunctional characteristics of electronic properties of semiconductor, photodetection and rare-earth ion luminescence, to develop multimodal and novel synaptic devices. The developed materials and devices in this project will help overcome the bottleneck in information technology development. 應用物理學系材料物理與器件講座教授郝建華教授所帶領的「面向神經形態計算和人工視覺的超薄鐵電多功能集成材料與器件」研究項目， 獲國家自然科學基金重點項目資助。 郝教授團隊聯合合作單位南開大學及四川師範大學的研究人員，展開面向神經形態計算和人工視覺的超薄鐵電多功能集成材料與器件的研究。 此項目將鐵電極化與半導體電子特性、光電探測和稀土離子發光的多功能特性有機結合起來，從而發展具有多模式的新型神經突觸器件，所研發的材料和器件希望能有助于解決資訊科技發展的瓶頸問題。   Read more: https://www.polyu.edu.hk/rio/news/2022/20220927-nsfc-key-program-prof-jianhua-hao/
