The Department of Electronic and Information Engineering (EIE) aims to solve complex problems with innovative ideas and to produce high impact research that is relevant to industry and society. Major research endeavours within the Department are focused into the following areas: Artificial Intelligence and Robotics; Future Wireless Networks, Intelligent Energy Systems and IoT; and Photonic Systems and Devices. Currently, over a hundred research projects are being undertaken. These projects are mostly funded by the Hong Kong government, the Chinese mainland central and provincial governments, or our industrial partners such as Alibaba, Huawei, PCCW/HKT and Tencent. Many of our research degree graduates continue their career paths by becoming a researcher/an academic in local/overseas/mainland institutions or international renowned companies such as Huawei, Tencent and Alibaba. Some even start their own companies to pursue their dreams.
