Alex M. H. Wong 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, Toronto, ON, Canada, in 2006, 2009, and 2014, respectively. He was a Post-Doctoral Fellow with the University of Toronto. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, 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, super-resolution imaging and radar systems. Particularly, he has made academic contributions to research on wave shaping using discrete Huygens’ metasurfaces and far-field imaging based on super-oscillation waves. His current research interests include metasurfaces, metamaterials, superresolution systems, bioelectromagnetics, and wireless power transfer.
Prof. Wong is a senior member of IEEE, and a member of the Antennas and Propagation Society, the Microwave Theory and Technology Society, and the Photonics Society. He received accolades include an IEEE RWP King Award (for the best annual publication by a young author in 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 has served as the General Co-Chair for the 2025 International Workshop in Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition (iWEM 2025), the General Co-Chair for the 2022 IEEE HK AP-MTT Postgraduate Student Conference, and the TPC Vice-Chair for the 2020 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC 2020). 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.
