Prof. Wong's research interests lie in the fields of polymeric electronic materials, electronic, photonic and MEMS packaging and interconnect, interfacial adhesions, nano-functional material syntheses and characterizations, nano-composites such as well-aligned carbon nanotubes, graphene, lead-free alloys, flip chip underfill, ultra high k capacitor composites and novel lotus effect coating materials. He has published widely with over 1000 technical papers. He has yielded fruitful research results and holds over 50 US patents. Prof. Wong is considered an industry legend and has made significant contributions to the industry by pioneering new materials, which fundamentally changed the semiconductor packaging technology.
The International Dresden Barkhausen Award is granted by the Material Research Network Dresden (MFD), the Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing Dresden and the University of Technology Dresden in memorial of Professor Heinrich Barkhausen who acted as a faculty for Electrical Engineering in Dresden from 1911 to 1953. He achieved groundbreaking results in Communication and Amplifier Technology, and established the basics for the application of electron tubes. He gained international reputation for discovering the Barkhausen Noise Effect.
