We are proud to announce that two of LSGI's recent graduates have been recognized for their outstanding research contributions at the IEEE GRSS Hong Kong Chapter Best PhD Dissertation Awards.
Dr. Shuai XU was awarded the First Prize for his dissertation titled "Employing optical and SAR imagery for enhanced mapping of vegetation and crops in challenging environments." Her research, supervised by Prof. Xiaolin ZHU, provides innovative solutions for remote sensing applications in complex ecosystems.
Dr. Ge JIANG received the Second Prize for her dissertation, "Maximum entropy-based airborne lidar point cloud classification." JIANG was co-supervised by Prof. Tiangang YIN and Prof. Wai Yeung YAN, Adjunct Professor from Toronto Metropolitan University. Notably, Dr. JIANG completed a prestigious international exchange at the University of Calgary, Canada, where she worked under the mentorship of Prof. Derek LICHTI during the final two years of her PhD candidacy.
The awards were presented during a joint ceremony at the 7th China Wetlands Remote Sensing Conference and the 2025 Annual Academic Meeting of the Digital Wetlands Professional Committee. We also wish to acknowledge the fellow Second Prize winner from the University of Hong Kong (HKU).
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Shuai XU and Dr. Ge JIANG on these prestigious honors and wishing them continued success in their professional careers.
