Faculty of Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

CLUSTERTECH works closely with professors and researchers in the Faculty of Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In year 2001, a 3 year project sponsored jointly by the Innovation and Technology Fund and Cluster Technology was launched under the guidance of Professor Philip Leong and Professor K.S. Leung of the CS&E Department, CUHK. Many projects have since benefited from our collaboration, particularly in the areas of parallel computing and financial engineering. Referred publications arising from this work include the following:
