As a graduate of the Wuhan University of Technology, Zeng Jia understands that there is great potential in the development of media technology and he applies his engineering knowledge to this area. “The
In the Contest’s Undergraduate Section, Mr Usman Nazir, a fresh graduate in Computer Science, was awarded the third prize for his research paper on fingerprint minutiae matching technology. In conjunction with an effective fingerprint extraction system, the proposed technique results in a fast and reliable fingerprint identification system applicable to matching fingerprint data to a large database. Usman Nazir pointed out that the one-year IT Professional Placement provided by CityU’s Bachelor course in Computer Science attracted him to the University. “The placement arrangement gives students a golden opportunity to apply what they have learned and build self-confidence. I think this is a valuable experience for any university student.”
