CUHK Research: Changing the world

CUHK is at the forefront of transforming global communication systems and networks. The research field of network coding, a paradigm shift in network communication, is among world-leading breakthroughs. Co-founded by CUHK information theorist Professor Raymond Yeung Wai-ho, network coding is a fundamental theory which, through its efficient realisation BATS, makes it possible to extend wireless Internet to billions living in rural isolation and to communicate in settings where cellular signals and GPS are blocked.
