Two students (Wax Lam and Simon Wong) from the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management have designed a formula to predict the outcome of a team-based competition that can be applied in the Premier League, NBA, and Russian World Cup.  It has been proven successful in reaching 50% accuracy.   With this innovative design, the team has won in the student stream of the second B4B Big Data for Business Challenge Competition (B4B Challenge) co-organised by B4B Limited and Cyberport.  There were a total of 34 teams participating in this competition. 

A team of students has won in the VXCTF 2018, a Capture-the-Flag (CTF) hacking contest hosted by the international hacker conference VXCON in Hong Kong. During the competition, participants were required to exercise different skillsets in Information Security and Computer Science for challenges including web, cryptography, reverse engineering, forensic, binary exploitation and smart contract.   A total of eight teams from Hong King universities joined the competition.   

The winning team "g33z" from CUHK was comprised of three undergraduates: Leung Shing Yuet (MIEG Final Year), Tong Cham Fei (CS Final Year) and Zeng Yihui (Math Final Year). They have been active in joining the CUHK Open Innovation Lab (OIL) which is a self-initiated student group that actively promotes open technology on campus.
