Man Hoi Wong
Professor Man Hoi Wong obtained his B.S. with the highest distinction from Cornell University, USA in 2004, with a double major in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara, USA, in 2009.
Dr. Wong’s Ph.D. dissertation topic is on nitrogen-polar gallium nitride (GaN) microwave transistors and related growth technologies by molecular beam epitaxy. From 2011 to 2013, he was a research scientist at the SEMATECH corporate research consortium in Texas, USA, where he focused on compound semiconductor devices for beyond-silicon digital electronics. From 2013 to 2019, he was a researcher on gallium oxide (Ga2O3) power devices at Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). Dr. Wong has published 74 journal articles, delivered 28 invited talks and seminars, and coauthored over 130 contributed presentations. He is the lead author on 4 invited book chapters and 3 invited review papers on GaN and Ga2O3 transistor technologies. His work has been recognized by several awards, including an IEEE Best Paper Award (Device Research Conference 2008), SEMATECH’s Corporate Excellence Award (2012), the Young Researcher Award at the 2015 International Workshop on Gallium Oxide and Related Materials, and NICT’s Individual Achievement Award (2019). Since 2021, he has been serving as a Principal Editor for the Journal of Materials Research.
Dr. Wong joined the University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA in 2019 and is now an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
