Congratulations to Engineering PhD student Liang Chen who has received a 2011 Victoria Fellowship for his research on network efficiency. During his postgraduate studies at the Melbourne School of Engineering and NICTA Victoria Research Laboratory, Liang has developed a promising low-cost new signal processing method, which may provide enormous improvement in network reliability and efficiency in optical networks. Liang will use the award to travel to the US and Europe to conduct further research and test the commercial potential of his innovation.

The University of Melbourne’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Jim McCluskey commenting on the Victoria Prize and 3 Victoria Fellowships awarded to Melbourne University researchers said that the awards recognised a dedication to world-class research and a commitment to solving difficult problems.

“The awards highlight the recipients’ ingenious approaches to challenging issues that are relevant to everyday life,” Professor McCluskey said.
