Short Bio

Kai-Kit Wong received the BEng, the MPhil, and the PhD degrees, all in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, in 1996, 1998, and 2001, respectively. After graduation, he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the University of Hong Kong as a Research Assistant Professor. From July 2003 to December 2003, he visited the Wireless Communications Research Department of Lucent Technologies, Bell-Labs, Holmdel, NJ, U.S., where he was a Visiting Research Scholar studying optimization in broadcast MIMO channels. After that, he then joined the Smart Antennas Research Group of Stanford University as a Visiting Assistant Professor conducting research on overloaded MIMO signal processing. From 2005 to August 2006, he was with the Department of Engineering, the University of Hull, U.K., as a Communications Lecturer. Since August 2006, he has been with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University College London where he is a Senior Lecturer.

Dr Wong won the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Japan Chapter Award of the International IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference-Spring in 2000, and was also a co-recipient of the First Prize Paper Award in the IEEE Signal Processing Society Postgraduate Forum Hong Kong Chapter in 2004. In 2002 and 2003, he received, respectively, the SY King Fellowships and the WS Leung Fellowships from the University of Hong Kong. Also, he was awarded the Competitive Earmarked Research Grant Merit and Incentive Awards in 2003-2004.
Recently, he also coauthored two papers that won the best paper awards for the International Conference on Wireless Communications and Signal Processing, 2009.

Dr Wong is a Senior Member of IEEE and is also on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Communications Letters, IEEE Signal Processing Letters, and IET Communications. His current research interests center around cognitive radio, cooperative wireless networks, cross-layer optimisation, information theory and optimisation, multiuser communications theory, performance analysis of MIMO channels and secrecy capacity of wireless channels.
