Lam Chi Seng, an\nassistant professor from the University of Macau (UM) State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI; and Thomas Cheang, a\nUM graduate electrical and electronics engineering and a veteran engineer from\nMacao, recently received the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers\n(IEEE) Power and Energy Society (PES) Outstanding Engineer Award 2016. This is\nthe first time that engineers from Macao have received this award. There is a\nconsensus in the industry that the award can help the recipients from the\nfields of electricity and energy in Macao to develop their careers in other\nparts of the world. In addition, Lam and Cheang have been invited to join the\nevaluation committee in the Macao region for the IEEE PES Outstanding Engineer\nAward 2017.<\/p>
Established\nin 1994, the IEEE PES Engineer Award recognises individuals with significant achievements\nor contributions to electrical engineering in technology, leadership, community,\nor education. Each year, the evaluation committee selects a number of\ncandidates through a rigorous evaluation process based on their contributions\nto the above areas.<\/p>
Lam\nhas served as an electrical engineer for environmental protection and energy\nsaving at UM, and a postdoctoral researcher at Hong Kong Polytechnic\nUniversity. He received many research awards and holds four patents, two in the\nUnited States and two in China. The power quality compensator developed by his\nteam has already been put into use.<\/p>
