About OWL🦉
Optical Wireless Laboratory (OWL) is a research lab led by Prof. Chik Patrick YUE in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, HKUST.
Our current research aspects include mm-wave integrated circuit design, optical/wireline transceiver IC design, wireless power transfer, multi-robot human collaboration, and FPGA-based accelerator for 3D model reconstruction, Vehicle-to-Grid for Grid resilience and Wireless power transfer for Brain Machine Interface.
Opening positions for MPhil, PhD students, post-doc and visiting assistant professor.
Opening undergraduate research opportunities (UROP Projects): 1. Optical transmitter design; 2. Millimeter-wave transceiver design; 3. Multi-phase clock generator design.
