Staff Profiles

Professor Dennis Wong holds a BEng and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Liverpool, UK. Prior to joining Newcastle University, he was the Deputy Provost of Heriot-Watt University Malaysia. He was also Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science at Swinburne University of Technology (Sarawak Campus), Malaysia, and had a brief stint at Xi’an Jiatong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China.

Dennis is a strong advocate for student wellbeing, caring deeply about access and inclusion in higher education.

As the Regional Provost and Group CEO (ASEAN), Dennis oversees our campuses in Singapore and Malaysia and has a wider remit for supporting partnership in the South East Asia region.

Research Interests

I started my PhD working on communication intelligence and modulation classification. I then had to work on machine condition monitoring because of funding requirement. Since then I have worked on a number of domains and the highlights are summarised below. My complete list of publication and research metrics can be found on my Google Scholar profile.

Omnidirectional Vision

Using a catadioptric configuration, one can achieve a 360 degree field of view.

Collaborators

N.S. Chong, Dr. Y. H. Kho, Victoria University of Wellington

Cancellable Biometrics

This research concerns with the security of biometic templates. Adopting a chosen one way transformation, one can regenerate a new biometric template on the fly.

Collaborators

Prof A. Teoh, Yonsei University

Dr. Y. H. Kho, Victoria University of Wellington

VLSI Signal Processing

Smaller Area vs Faster Operation vs Lower Power.

Collaborators
