About Chun Hong Kang Chun Hong Kang Research Scientist, Electrical and Computer Engineering Photonics and optoelectronics Chun Hong Kang received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). He holds a B.Eng. (Honors) and M.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. His current research is centered on advancing optoelectronic devices, sub-components, and integrated systems, with a particular focus on their practical applications in optical fiber sensing and optical wireless communication for oil & gas, agriculture, and underwater domains. He has contributed to over 80 publications in peer-reviewed journals Articles Related News March 2023 Detecting Tiny Tremors For Big Impact 3 min read · Wed, Mar 8 2023 News Islam Ashry recently undertook a field trial in north-western Saudi Arabia that is likely to have implications for the Kingdom’s date industry. Ashry, a research scientist at KAUST, spent a week collecting data from an optical fiber wrapped around many date palms at TADCO farm in Tabuk. The aim was to detect what one Saudi official called a hidden and deadly enemy. The red palm weevil ( Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) arrived in Saudi Arabia from tropical Asia in the 1980s, most likely on a cargo ship.
