Rate My Professor Kiing Wong

Kiing Ing Wong is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, School of Engineering and Science, at Curtin University Malaysia, Sarawak Campus. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering (First Class Honours) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Manchester, United Kingdom (1999), and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southampton, United Kingdom (2003). Wong joined Curtin University in 2005, where he has excelled in teaching and research. He serves as a registered supervisor for PhD and MPhil students, having guided several to completion, including Han Yi Chiew's PhD on Human Gait Analysis Using Inertial Measurement Unit for Rehabilitation (2020), Naveen Palanichamy's on Cloud Computing Strategies for Enhancing Smart Grid Performance in Developing Countries (2019), Nur Atiqah Binti Jefry's on Multilevel Inverter (2022), and Sanmugaraja Lakshmanaprakash's on Broadcasting Protocol for Effective Data Dissemination in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (2019).

His research focuses on power systems and electronics, with expertise in wearable body sensor design, high-voltage insulation materials and measurements, and design and development of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. Notable publications include 'A Low-Cost Marker-Based Optical Motion Capture System to Validate Inertial Measurement Units' (IEEE Sensors Letters, 2023), 'Automatic Synchronization of Markerless Video and Wearable Sensors for Walking Assessment' (IEEE Sensors Journal, 2019), 'Gait Phase Detection for Normal and Abnormal Gaits Using IMU' (IEEE Sensors Journal, 2019), 'Fast Prototype of a Wireless Cardiac Rhythm Interpretive Instrument' (IEEE EMBS, 2008), and 'Rapid Prototyping of a Low-power, Wireless, Reflectance Photoplethysmography System' (Body Sensor Networks Workshop, 2010). Wong has obtained research funding exceeding RM592,700, including RM268,000 from MOSTI for smart drive development in AC motors (2008-2010) and RM221,000 for electrical properties of palm oil (2008-2010). His achievements include awards for Academic of the Year in Teaching and Learning (2010), Research and Development (2009), Five Years Long Service (2010), and University of Southampton Postgraduate Research Studentship (2000-2004). He is a member of the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) and Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).
