Gale Medal for Distinguished Teaching in 2023, which is the highest teaching award at HKUST and is presented annually to one outstanding faculty member. He is also a four-time winner of the School of Engineering Teaching Excellence Appreciation Award. Externally, he was named an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in 2003, and later became the youngest-ever recipient of the IEEE Simon Min Sze Education Award in 2017. In 2022, he was acclaimed with the Academic Achievement Award from the Taiwan Association for Academic Innovation during his sabbatical leave.
