Alex Wong

Alex M. H. Wong (M’ 2014, SM’2019) received the B.A.Sc. degree in engineering science (electrical option) and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Toronto, Canada, in 2006, 2009, and 2014, respectively. He then served briefly as a Postdoctoral Fellow with the University of Toronto. Since 2018, he has been an Assistant Professor of Applied Electromagnetics with the Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, where he is also a member of the State Key Laboratory of Terahertz and Millimeter Waves. He has advanced multiple projects in applied electromagnetics on next-generation RF, infrared, and optical metasurfaces, and super-resolution imaging and radar systems. Particularly, he has made academic contributions to research on wave shaping using Huygens’ metasurfaces and far-field imaging based on super-oscillation waves. His current research interests include metasurfaces, metamaterials, and super-resolution systems. His received accolades include an IEEE RWP King Award (for the best annual publication by a young author in the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION), the URSI Young Scientist Award, the Raj Mittra Grant, the IEEE Doctoral Research Awards from the AP and MTT societies, and the Canada Graduate Scholarship (doctoral level). He serves as the TPC Vice-Chair for the 2020 Asia–Pacific Microwave Conference. He has taken on various program committee, session chair, technical judge, and reviewer duties for IEEE conferences and journal publications in the AP and MTT societies, as well as relevant venues in applied physics. He is a member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, and the Photonics Society.
