Besides, he is active in community services and social services. He provides technical advices to organization committees and judges in several local design competitions for youth since 2007.
Professor Woo also encourages and mentors students to join various design competitions with various design emphasis on creativity-driven, business-driven, application-driven objectives, etc. One of the aims of these design project competitions is being able to contribute to the wellbeing of society and fulfilling the social responsibility. Participants of these projects obtain valuable feedback from professional bodies, comments from target groups and obtain a wealth of hands-on-experience.
By participating these design competitions, our students have more opportunities to implement their knowledge into practical daily life products. They performed exceptionally well and won various prizes some of which are listed at: http://www.ee.ust.hk/ece.php/enews/student
His current research areas include signal processing, wireless systems design, and tracking systems.
