Irfan and Mehdi have given two nice talks today (Sept 4, 2020) in CityU EE Research Seminar Series to around 70 Ph.D. students from the EE department, CityU. Mehdi’s sharing was about “Reconfigurable Architectures for Electrophysiological Signal Processing”. Irfan’s sharing was about “Novel Design, Architecture, and Optimization of Content-addressable Memory (CAM)”. The talks introduced their impressive research work and got many interesting questions from the audience.
We welcome to the team Gavin and Gary, new CALAS PhD Candidates. Guangyan LI (Gavin) received the B.Eng degree in 2020 from the Department of Electrical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong with a first class honor. He was a research-based FYP student under the supervision of Dr. Ray. His research interest includes hardware and information security and lightweight PQC cryptography. Gaoyu MAO (Gary) received his B.Engg. from Shandong University in 2020. His research interests include efficient system design with FPGA and RISC V processor design.
Congratulations to Mehdi and Irfan, for receiving the Research Tuition Scholarship for the year 2020/21, which entitles their Tuition Fee to be waived for the next one year.
Prof. Kris Gaj has given a nice talk this Wednesday(Aug 19, 2020) in CALAS Crypto Seminar Series. The topic was “Implementation and Benchmarking of Round 2 Candidates in the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process Using FPGAs”. Special thanks to Dr. David Hu for the organization and preparation for the seminar series. The slides are agreed to share, and you can find the slides HERE.
Dr. Ray has got an Outstanding Teaching Award from the College of
Engineering for his excellent teaching and satisfying the student’s
needs in the year 2019-20.
Many Congratulations to him.
Dr. David Hu has given a nice talk this Tuesday (July 14, 2020) in CALAS Crypto Seminar Series to around 30 international researchers. The topic was “Recent Progress in Fully Homomorphic Encryptions (Part-II)”. The talk included a live demo and was very informative.
Dr. Ray has given a nice talk on this Wednesday (June 24, 2020) in Samsung AI Center, Cambridge to around 35 International researchers. The topic was “From IoT to Edge-based AIoT: Challenges and Solutions”. The talk was very well received. Special thanks to Jack Liu and Dr. Jack Xu for assisting the preparation, and all CALAS members for the good contributions.
Warm welcome Clarissa.
International exchange student, Clarissa, from the University of Edinburgh has joined CityU EE Dept as a summer intern.
Dr. Ray, John, and Irfan are welcoming her in the research lab.
Irfan, Dr. Zahid, Sanka’s work on TCAM has been accepted by IEEE Embedded Systems Letters, after a major round of revision, titled: Accelerated Updating Mechanisms for FPGA-based Ternary Content-addressable Memory. More about ESL:
