The lecture was given by four professors from FHWS, Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore respectively. Their presentations covered different topics, including biomedical applications, medical sensors, and the development of medical prototype system. Prof. Chi Chiu Chan, deputy dean of Julong College and director of Center for Smart Sensing System, said that biomedicine is of great social significance in the post-pandemic era and hoped that the teachers and students present could gain more knowledge in relevant subjects from this lecture. The lecture aims to expand students’ mind for professional study, increase their knowledge, as well as develop their cross-cultural communication skills.
