Exploration and Innovation
Distinguished Professor-at-large | Innovative Biomedicine | Information and Automation Technology | Environment and Sustainability

Contribute to healthy and smart living with machine learning and AI research

The Computing Centre is established (1968)
Faculty of Engineering is established (1991)
Hong Kong’s first Supercomputer is installed on campus (1993)
A Milestone for Medical Imaging MAGNET, an innovative broadband communications network, is launched in 1993. It enables speedy transmission of medical images taken by sophisticated diagnostics machines between two hospitals and facilitates diagnosis by doctors at different locations.
The Internet hub of Hong Kong As early as in 1991, CUHK establishes the territory’s first Internet connection between Hong Kong and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the US. All local tertiary institutions may use the link to connect with the rest of the world. Building upon this, the University establishes the Hong Kong Internet eXchange, which serves as a focal point for local Internet traffic.
Locally developed search engine A Chinese search engine Jasmine & ANSeRS, developed by CUHK, is licensed to a number of international high-tech companies for use on commercial websites.
Face Recognition System A research team led by Professor Tang Xiaoou and Professor Wang Xiaogang build a novel facial recognition system with the highest accuracy in the world. The recognition system can recognise faces at an accuracy of 99.15%, compared with the 97.53% accuracy rate of humans. The system can help combat crime.
Driving Down Data Loss with Network Coding Professor Raymond Yeung has developed a new data coding process that reduces the amount of data lost in multi-mode wireless transmission, while increasing the data transfer volume and guaranteeing a more robust and stable network. Network coding can be applied not only to existing mobile networks, but also to satellite communication, data encryption and cloud storage.
Gearing Up for Industry 4.0 CUHK is dedicated to pursuing breakthroughs in robotics and artificial intelligence technologies for future workplaces as well as innovative solutions to the pressing problems in the logistics industry.
Medical Robotics Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Medicine join hands to develop medical robots, including micro-robots that allow rapid endoluminal delivery and surgical robotic arms to achieve minimally invasive intervention.
