New Faculty Research Centres

 

The University has identified new areas of strategic interest in both inter- and multidisciplinary research, with the setting up of three new Faculty Research Centres: Centre for Chaos Control and Synchronization, Centre for Media Technology, and Southeast Asia Centre . With these additions, the number of faculty research centres at CityU now totals 10.

Centre for Chaos Control and Synchronization
Director: Professor Chen Guanrong, Department of Electronic Engineering
The centre aims to promote fundamental research on the emerging and cutting-edge technology of chaos control and synchronization. It targets both academic leadership and commercial applications. It plays a significant role in technological advances and transfer, as well as quality postgraduate training. Nonlinear circuits, computational algorithms, chaos generation via control methods and circuit design are the long-term research focus of the centre.

Centre for Media Technology
Acting Director: Professor P S Chung, Department of Electronic Engineering
The centre aims to develop advanced technology for media creation, retrieval, interaction, and delivery. Its long-term objectives are to conduct theoretical and applied research in areas of virtual/ augmented reality and computer animation, image processing and pattern recognition, multimedia information indexing and retrieval, novel multimodal interfaces, and Internet techonology.

Southeast Asia Research Centre
Acting Director: Dr Graeme Lang, Department of Applied Social Studies
The centre aims to develop a world-class programme of research on Southeast Asia, accomplished through high-quality academic publications and international conferences. Research sponsored by the centre will focus on the overall theme of ÒRemaking Southeast Asia in a Global Context: Cultures, Development, Challenges.Ó It will seek to establish its strength through a focused research agenda on analysis of contemporary medium-term trends in the region, in terms of social change, development issues, and inter-ethnic relations and conflicts.
