Electronics and photonics underpin countless aspects of life. In Hong Kong the electronics industry accounted for more than 70% of exports in 2020. And with the emergence of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area as an innovation and technology hub, R&D in electronics and photonics here is a driving force. To explore challenges and opportunities for these technologies, researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) presented a series of webcasts at the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) in March and April. They discussed advances in nanotechnology, wireless communication, photonics, electrical power grids and terahertz technology — and in doing so, connected a diverse group of interdisciplinary scientists and industry professionals.
