About

Chi-Hang Lok is a leading researcher in automotive radar systems, with a focus on advancing perception technologies for intelligent vehicles. His most-cited work, "Toward Automotive Surround-View Radars" (2019, 34 citations), addresses a critical challenge in autonomous driving: enabling vehicles to perceive their full 360-degree environment using radar, which is more robust than cameras in adverse weather and lighting conditions. Lok’s contributions lie in developing novel radar architectures and signal processing techniques that enhance object detection, classification, and tracking for surround-view applications. This work has significant implications for the future of mobility, where vehicles—whether human-driven or autonomous—must navigate complex environments safely and reliably. By pushing the boundaries of radar-based sensing, Lok is helping to realize a vision of driving that extends beyond physical transport to include wireless connectivity, clean energy integration, and secure transactions. His research bridges the gap between current automotive capabilities and the next generation of intelligent, context-aware vehicles, making him a key figure in the evolution of automotive safety and autonomy.
