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.
With great sadness, we announce the passing of a world-renowned neuroscientist, Professor Sir Colin Blakemore, the Senior Fellow of Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) and Yeung Kin Man Chair Professor of Neuroscience of City University of Hong Kong (CityU). Professor Sir Blakemore passed away peacefully in Oxford, surrounded by his daughters.

The Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently presented a series of five webcasts that explored breakthroughs in electronic and photonic device development. The lecturers, all professors at CityU, introduced a broad range of topics, including advances in wireless antennas, the future of 6G mobile technology, challenges in building out a modern power grid, the latest applications of nanotechnology in devices and sensors, and new uses for meta-lenses in full-color imaging and light field sensing. All these advances currently—or will soon—impact the daily lives of people across the globe.
Professor George Fu Gao, HKIAS Senior Fellow and the Director-General of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China, was recently elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society for his contributions in the field of infection and immunity, particularly relating to emerging viral infections, have helped to improve our understanding of major threats to human health. In addition, Professor Gao was conferred an honorary doctorate by the City University of Macau on 28 May 2022.
