Hanzhe Sun recognised for outstanding engineering talent!
The IET Prize is awarded annually to outstanding students who are completing a course of study which has been accredited by the IET. Prize winners are nominated by their university based on having shown distinction in their course leading to the award of a first degree.
As part of his win Hanzhe Sun will receive a certificate and two years free student membership of the IET.
Professor Danielle George MBE, President of the IET, said: “Our IET Prizes are a fantastic way for talented engineering students to be recognised for their outstanding ability in the early stages of their engineering journey. IET Membership provides early career professionals with the opportunity to connect with a global community, grow their networks and develop their technical knowledge.” Professor George went on to say: “The IET is passionate about promoting engineering excellence and our awards and prizes showcase some of the very best engineering talent. All the winners should be incredibly proud of their achievements. I wish them all the best for a very fulfilling and successful career – they are all difference makers of the future.”
Hanzhe averaged over 80% throughout his final year, with 97% in Information and Coding communications, and 94% on average in Electromagnetics. Hanzhe said “I am honoured and happy to receive the IET Prize. When I learned that I won the prize, I couldn't calm my mood for a long time and felt encouraged. The award of this prize is an affirmation of my study life. I believe it will continue to give me the courage to explore the world of engineering in the future.”
Dr. Iestyn Pierce (Head of School) added “We have worked closely with the IET for decades. We are honoured to be awarding one of the IET prizes, and Hanzhe Sun has worked hard on his degree work. He worked with me with his final year individual project, putting in an excellent performance. He showed great insight in designing and evaluating a lightweight cryptographic engine for Internet of Things authentication, work that will make sure that it’s more difficult for bad actors to take over future internet appliances, helping secure our increasingly online homes. I wish him the very best as he moves on to postgraduate study.”
Hanzhe went on to say “I would like to express my gratitude to all the teachers who taught me at the university, especially Dr Iestyn Pierce. Iestyn's continuous patience, enthusiastic support and help, has made me always confident about my future. He also enabled me to complete my individual project at a high standard in this special period. Finally, please let me express my gratitude to my alma mater, 香港六合彩挂牌资料 and CSEE School. It is precisely because of the good platforms they provide that I can get in touch with more beautiful things in this engineering world.”
