Speaker:Dr K.F. Tsang

Biography: Dr K.F. Tsang obtained his PhD degree from the University of Wales, College of Cardiff. He has close ties with industry, and has been working actively on ZigBee Wireless Sensor Network for numerous applications including energy profiling and management system, ZigBee smart metering and AMI, ZigBee Home Area Network for office/home/building automation, ZigBee EV Charging system, ZigBeeTelehealth systems, smart appliances, security system, WiMax and LTE. Dr Tsang has published more than 100 technical papers and three books. He was the recipient of CityU’s Applied Research Excellence Award (1997), the first Hong Kong Science & Product Innovation Competition and the World Chinese Invention Exposition (1998). The other accolades won by KF include the EDN Asia Innovator Award (1999), Ericsson’s Super-Wireless Application Award (2000), the Best Award from Freescale Semiconductor (2008), the Innovation China Outstanding Entrepreneur Award (2009) and the Excellent Product Award from the China Hi-Tech Fair (2010). Key projects on ZigBee in the past included : RFID Departure and Arrival Detection System for the MTRC Light Rail (>170 platforms), implementation of 16,000 ZigBee light switches in hotel, Smart Metering (AMI) for utility in Hong Kong, Smart Kitchen for utility in Hong Kong. At this point, KF’s team is still referred as the only team that excels in ZigBee product design from protocol stack, embedded software, to system design with large scale ZigBee sensors deployment experience, from large scale sensor node, to smart metering as well as smart transportation. As such, KF has also successfully established the IoT SIG in Hong Kong and initially focuses heavily on ZigBee interoperability testing, ZigBee product testing and analysis, .. etc. The IoT SIG HK has been recognized by the ZigBee Alliance as a recognized consortium to promote ZigBee excellence including trainings and interoperability testing. KF is now an Associate Professor as well as the Director of the Wireless Sustainability Center in the Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong. KF and his team Dr. Candy Tung, Dr. KL Lam and Mr. KT Chui will deliver the tutorial on “ZigBee for Internet of Things”. In this tutorial, the basics of ZigBee, it’s role in Internet of Things and some practical challenges of ZigBee deployment will be briefed. The evaluation of development platforms and case studies will be presented.
