Kevin Tsia received his B.E. and M.Phil. in electronic and computer engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, in 2003 and 2005, respectively. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in 2009. He is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and the Medical Engineering Program, at the University of Hong Kong. Prof. Tsia's research interests cover a broad range of topics, including ultrafast real-time spectroscopy and microscopy for biomedical applications, such as imaging flow cytometry and endoscopic laser microsurgery. His research accomplishments, such as energy harvesting in silicon photonics and the world's fastest barcode reader and optical imaging system, have attracted worldwide press coverage and have been featured in many prestigious science and technology review magazines such as MIT Technology Review, EE Times, and Science News. Prof. Tsia was the recipient of a fellowship by the California Nanosystems Institute (CNSI) from 2005 to 2006. He also received the 2009 Harry M. Showman Prize from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Early Career Award 2012-13 from the Research Grants Council (RGC) in Hong Kong. He is the author or coauthor of over 90 journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters and holds 2 US patents on ultrafast optical imaging technologies.
