SUMMARY:Opportunities from Quantum Computing for Net-Zero Power System Optimisation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nOptimised power system planning and operation are core to delivering a low-cost and high-reliability transition path to net-zero carbon emissions. However\, power system optimisation problems are now posing challenges for even the largest exa-scale supercomputers. A new avenue for progress has been opened by recent breakthroughs in quantum computing. Quantum computing offers a fundamentally new computational infrastructure with different capabilities and trade-offs\, and is reaching a level of maturity where\, for the first time\, a practical advantage over classical computing is available for specific applications. The talk will present emerging opportunities where quantum computing can offer value for power system optimisation\, including combinatorial\, convex and machine learning-based optimisation problems. The talk will also discuss challenges for implementation and scale-up\, and outline promising directions for future research. \nSpeaker\nProfessor Thomas MORSTYN\nAssociate Professor in Power Systems\,\nDepartment of Engineering Science\,\nUniversity of Oxford \nBiography of the Speaker\nThomas MORSTYN is an Associate Professor in Power Systems with the Department of Engineering Science\, University of Oxford and he leads the Power Systems Architecture Lab. He is a Tutorial Fellow at Hertford College\, an Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh\, Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Systems and Co-Chair of the IEEE Power & Energy Society Taskforce on Power System Operations and Control with Quantum Computing. His research is focused on power system digitalisation and market design as key interlinked enablers of the net-zero transition. He received the BEng (Hon.) degree from the University of Melbourne in 2011\, and the PhD degree from the University of New South Wales in 2016\, both in electrical engineering.

SUMMARY:Supporting Drone-based Autonomous System with Mobile-and-Edge\, Software-and-Hardware Co-Design
DESCRIPTION:Mode: Online via Zoom\nZoom Link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/93338747328\nMeeting ID: 933 3874 7328 \n \nAbstract\nDrones are among the most disruptive innovations in the past few years\, spawning many novel applications including aerial imaging\, instant delivery\, sky networking\, and industrial inspection. Building system supports for drone-based autonomous applications is critical to simultaneously enhance accuracy\, efficiency\, and minimize resource overhead. In this talk\, I will present my recent research focused on developing such system supports\, guided by a research motto “working codes on flying drones trump all hypes.” First\, I will discuss how to create “working codes suitable for flying drones”\, using GPS-denied localization as a case study to demonstrate improved system performance through algorithmic innovation. Second\, I will explore enabling “flying drones to effectively run working codes” by leveraging edge-based computational platforms\, illustrated through a collaborative drone system for industrial inspection. Third\, I will move beyond isolated algorithm design and computational platform optimizations\, discussing advancements achieved through software-hardware co-design. Finally\, I will outline future research directions aimed at advancing system performance and facilitating system deployment\, including (1) data reuse among drone control-computing-communication modules\, and (2) resource virtualization across mobile-edge-cloud infrastructures. \nSpeaker\nDr. Jingao XU\nPostdoctoral Research Associate\nCarnegie Mellon University \nBiography of the Speaker\nDr. Jingao Xu is a postdoctoral research associate at Carnegie Mellon University\, working with Prof. Mahadev Satyanarayanan. He completed his Ph.D. in Tsinghua University advised by Prof. Yunhao Liu and Prof. Zheng Yang. His research focuses on edge computing\, drone-based mobile computing and visual SLAM. He has published over 40 works in top-tier conferences and journals including NSDI\, MobiCom\, MobiSys\, Sensys\, ToN\, and TMC. He received the Honored Doctoral Dissertation Award from ACM SIGCOMM China 2022\, the Best Artifact Award at ACM MobiCom 2024. \nOrganiser\nProf. Kaibin HUANG\nProfessor & Head of Department\,\nDepartment of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\,\nThe University of Hong Kong \nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:EEE MasterClass (EEE 大師講堂) – III-V Compounds on Si – Combining the Best of Both Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGaAs/InP and related alloys\, and III-nitrides are used for most high-performance device applications except CMOS logic. Optoeletronics\, high frequency (RF to THz) and power electronics are dominated by III-V compound semiconductors. We will discuss various factors of nature\, nurture\, and culture leading to today’s landscape. Photonic integrated circuits made with compound semiconductors on native substrates are costly and limited in wafer size and throughput. There is no universal formula for combining the best of both worlds –high performance and specific functionality of compound semiconductors with the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Si integrated circuit manufacturability. Over the years\, intense efforts have been made to incorporate high-performance III-V active devices on silicon\, to be integrated with passive components and waveguides of Si photonics. Heterogeneous integration techniques such as wafer bonding and die bonding (transfer printing) have been developed for this purpose. We have used such approaches to demonstrate and commercialize high-resolution micro-LED micro-displays. To efficiently couple light between active and passive components for Si photonics\, we recently developed a unique growth scheme – Lateral Aspect Ratio Trapping” (LART) to enable lateral selective epitaxy of device quality III-V materials right on top of the buried oxide layer of patterned silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). For fully vertical GaN trench MOSs grown on Si\, balancing all the tradeoffs in terms of device structure\, performance\, process complexity and throughput is being considered. \nSpeaker\nProf. Kei May LAU\nHong Kong University of Science & Technology \nBiography of the Speaker\nKei May LAU is a Research Professor at the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST).

SUMMARY:Wide Field-of-View Imaging with Efficient Off-Axis Modeling and Encoding
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/96308127770?pwd=EPYwEx3OHCPhiFDRaY9mNKFvbrtYMA.1\nMeeting ID: 963 0812 7770\nPassword: 254774 \nAbstract\nComputational optics is emerging as a transformative field to overcome challenges in achieving high-fidelity imaging across wide fields of view (FoV). However\, existing methods struggle with computational inefficiency for simulating off-axis diffraction and maintaining imaging quality at wide-FoV due to limited wavefront control. In this seminar\, I will present two synergistic advances addressing these limitations. First\, I introduce a universal angular spectrum method with optimized least-sampling criteria for off-axis diffraction modeling. Experimental results demonstrate substantial acceleration in computational speed while enabling high accuracy for ultra-wide-angle diffraction simulations. Second\, I present an end-to-end optimized framework that synergizes optical engineering and computational algorithms to transcend prior wide-FoV imaging constraints. By strategically positioning diffractive optical elements off-aperture and integrating hybrid refractive-diffractive optics with decoding multi-task networks\, we prototype two compact cameras that demonstrate high-fidelity color and depth imaging in real indoor and outdoor scenes. \nSpeaker\nMiss Haoyu Wei\nDepartment of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\nThe University of Hong Kong \n Speaker’s Biography\nHaoyu Wei received the M.S. degree from the Dept. of Computer Science\, Northwestern University\, Evanston\, USA\, in 2021 and B.Eng. degree from the Dept. of Computer Science\, Sichuan University\, Chengdu\, in 2019. She is currently working towards the Ph.D. degree with Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\, The University of Hong Kong (HKU)\, Hong Kong\, supervised by Prof. Edmund Y. Lam and Dr. Evan Peng. Her research interests include deep imaging systems and numerical simulations. \nAll are welcome!
