Dr. Wong was born in Hong Kong. He graduated with a B.Sc.(EE) degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and then obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong. After graduation, Dr. Wong was appointed as a University Lecturer in the Department. He was later re-titled as Assistant Professor and Associate Professor in 1995 and 2001, respectively.

Dr. Wong is a Senior Member of The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He is a Chartered Engineer and a Member of The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), and The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) (formerly The Institution of Electrical Engineers, IEE). He served in the committee of the Specialized Section in Computing & Control, IEE Hong Kong in 1995-2003, from Hon. Secretary to Chairman. He was the Technical Activities Coordinator in the Executive Committee of IEEE Hong Kong Section in 2007-10.

Dr. Wong's current research interests include chaos, source coding and cryptography. He is a member of the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks, City University of Hong Kong. He is also an Associate Editor of International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos (IJBC), an editor of The HKIE Transactions and Mathematical Problems in Engineering.

Dr. Wong is a member of the Advisory Committee of International Cryptology Conference 2010 (Cryptology 2010) and International Cryptology Conference 2012 (Cryptology 2012). He is a keynote/invited speaker of the following conferences:

  1. 4th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Chaos Control and Synchronization (APWCCS), Harbin, P.R. China, August 24 – 26, 2007.
