Liang Tak Keung, a home grown PhD graduate of our department, won the Outstanding Thesis Award 2004 of the Faculty of Engineering. His thesis title is:

"Silicon Planar Lightwave Circuits: Raman Amplification and Polarization Processing"

Under the supervision of Professor H. K. Tsang, Dr. Liang has done excellent work leading to one of the world's first demonstration that silicon can be used to amplify light (achieving 6.8dB net gain in the first attempt).

Congratulation to Dr. Liang and Prof. Tsang !
