Martin Ding Fat Wong is an American and Chinese computer scientist, electrical engineer, and university administrator. He is the Provost of the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU).[1] Wong is known for his contributions to computer-aided design of integrated circuits.
University career edit
Wong received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 1987 advised by Chung Laung Liu.[2] Between 1987 and 2002, he was a Bruton Centennial Professor of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. He returned to UIUC in 2002 as the Edward C. Jordan Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.[3] In 2012, he became the Executive Associate Dean of the College of Engineering. In 2018, he moved to the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), where he became the Choh-Ming Li Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering.[4] In 2023, Wong became the Provost of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) and a Chair Professor of Computer Science there.[1] He has published over 450 scholarly papers and graduated 51 Ph.D. students in EDA[4]
Technical contributions edit
Many of Wong's technical contributions are in algorithms for physical design of integrated circuits. He developed the use of simulated annealing in floorplan (microelectronics) design[5][6] as well as algorithms for wire routing[7] and circuit partitioning.[8] Wong also worked on FPGA design and efficient GPU implementations of classical algorithms, such as breadth-first search.[9]
Awards edit
Wong was named an IEEE Fellow in 2006 "for contributions to algorithmic aspects of computer-aided design (CAD) of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits and systems."[10] He was named an ACM Fellow in 2017 "for contributions to the algorithmic aspects of electronic design automation (EDA)".[11]
In 2000, Wong shared a IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems Donald O. Pederson Best Paper Award[12] for the paper on simultaneous buffer insertion and sizing and wire sizing.[13]
