ABUNDANT RESEARCH GRANTS
Despite our polytechnic background, every professor in this
team is devoted to conduct fore-front fundamental researches at the
international level before and after one's appointment. Our ability in
conceiving innovative ideas is reflected by the superb success in getting
external research grants and industrial sponsorships. When the Competitive
Earmarked Research Grant was launched in 1988, we were awarded the largest and
the second largest grants in engineering disciplines, amounting to more than one
half of the funding in the area of electrical and electronics engineering. We
are glad that this tradition has been upheld year after years. With these
supports, we are able to made major contributions in computational electromagnetics, patch antennas, dielectric resonator antennas, helical
antennas, microwave components, ferrite devices, synthetic chiral
materials, remote sensing, electromagnetic band gap techniques, linear low-noise
amplifiers, and energy efficient transceivers for mobile communications. Over
the year, we have published more than a thousand papers in top-notch
peer-reviewed journals and presented approximately an equal number of articles
in international conferences, collectively. Among them are two outstanding
papers in IEEE Transactions and over ten prize-winning presentations in international
conferences. On top of the honors and prizes received, our influence in the
academic community is demonstrated by the frequent citations of our works,
including some classical ones with a hundred citations.
