2024 CUHK–Mainland Optics & Photonics Workshop successfully took place in Guangming, Shenzhen during 13-15 December 2024. The two and half day in-person workshop provided a free platform for academic and industrial interactions, joined by over 20 distinguished scholars from Tsinghua University, Peking University, Zhejiang University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen University, CUHK, and other renowned universities/institutions in the mainland. The workshop was also attended by many CUHK alumni in academia and industry and current students and postdocs, guests from mainland institutions and industries. Compared with last year’s event, this time we featured a mini-industry exhibition, showcasing high-tech products by startups from CUHK and mainland, which also sponsored the workshop.

The workshop further fostered the existing collaborations between CUHK and mainland partners, while exploring new frontiers in research innovations and new initiatives in cultivating the next generation of leaders in the field of optics and photonics. In addition, we promoted collaboration with the Greater Bay Area and brought relevant officials from Guangming district and Prof. Jianbin Xu (Associate Dean for Mainland Affairs) to our event. The workshop was coordinated by Prof. Renjie Zhou with support from Prof. Xiankai Sun, Prof. Wei Ren, Prof. Chaoran Huang, Prof. Scott Yuan, and many senior colleagues in the Faculty of Engineering.
